A3: No Secomak's air knives are specifically designed for use with lower pressure high velocity air supply for optimum Performance.

No, this can blow the filter material right out of the wire mesh and ruin the filter. Pick a nice day to clean the filter and let it dry naturally. A low pressure air flow such as from an industrial drying machine or blow dryer will help the filter dry more quickly.

Yes we have. Too much nitrogen in air and it cools the cut to below combustion temperature. The oxygen is required to cause the iron to 'burn' (oxidize quickly) that's how you cut iron with oxy-fuel. The fuel gas heats up the iron to the ignition point, then the oxygen actually allows (a portion of) the steel to burn, creating the heat to melt the rest of the steel.

Steam traps are designed to pass condensate at high temperatures from steam systems, and we would not recommend them to be used on compressed air systems. However, there are two types of compressed air traps that operate on similar principles and look the same to the casual observer.

Thermodynamic traps can be used very successfully on compressed air systems, especially if the air is dirty or oily, but it is imperative they are selected correctly. It is not possible to use the TD steam trap on compressed air as it will tend to air bind closed. The correct trap to use is the Airodyn compressed air trap which is specifically designed for the purpose. Further information on the Airodyn can be found on the Spirax Sarco technical information sheet TI-P148-11.

Yes. Any vacuum source that can pull 25"Hg will work. One pump that we recommend is the Rocker 300, available from LabDepot. An inexpensive pump that we have also rated is the Barnant Air Cadet Single-head pump, available from McMaster-Carr (#41675K41) as well as Fisher Scientific. Any small air compressor will provide enough pressure/volume to operate the microfluidic platform.One inexpensive commercial compressor we have used is the Black&Decker BDC4G four gallon compressor.

Yes, you can use a compressed air device for a reserve tank if you would like. We will however put a limit on the psi to 100 psi. You will need to have it certified and we will require a safety valve on it.

The Audiosonic Acoustic Cleaners operate using normal plant compressed air provided three important factors exist. but remember the Audiosonic Acoustic Cleaner is only "sounded" for a few seconds over usually between every 3 - 30 minute period depending on the application.

Next to proper grounding, clean compressed air is the most important thing. Oil and water do not mix with powder. In a powder system, air plays a big role. Powder is fluidized with air, pumped to the guns with air, and the cartridge filters are back-pulsed with air. The equipment and powder manufacturer should be consulted regarding the air quality for optimal performance. In general, a minimum 35°F dew point and less than 0.1 ppm contaminate or oil is a good starting point.

Always consult your compressor manufacturer. You should have good oil and water extractors along with a refrigerant or a desiccant dryer system. With either system type selection, an oil coalescing filter with automatic drain and particulate filter are recommended.

If you require more than one outlet, order the first outlet at the appropriate rate from item "1. a." under "Description of Service" in our plumbing services form. Each additional outlet is to be ordered from item "b." This is based on the floor distribution for the additional outlets. Determine your CFM (cubic feet per minute) requirements and include this information. It can be located on the equipment itself.

The water is condensation. Humidity in the air being compressed is drawn into the air compressor along with the air. The higher the humidity the more moisture contained in the air. Compression causes heat, so as the air cools the moisture in the air forms condensation and collects in low points in the compressed air systems, such as the air receiver, airlines and/or airline drops. Some or most of the moisture can be removed with the use of aftercoolers, dryers and/or filters.

The recommended compressed air line size, from the compressor to the dust collector, is ¾" diameter for the first 75' of pipe with ¼" diameter increases for each additional 50' increment. Top

Some baling systems use compressed air for self-cleaning and maintenance. If the baler requires a supply of compressed air, you may be able to use lines from an existing compressor or you will have to consider a new source.

For those that are really short on disk space, you can compress the help files and still be able to view them with Vim. This example assumes you have gzip on your system. You do have it, don't you? :-) If not, you will need to adapt it to work with a different compression utility. 1. Compress all the help files: gzip doc/*.txt. 2. Edit doc/vim_tags (doc/tags in 5.0) and do :%s=\.txt<Tab>/=.txt.gz<Tab>/= 3. Add these lines to your .vimrc: set helpfile=<dirname>/vim_help.txt.

Compress threads allows you to show only the first message in a thread. In this way, you can shrink the size of the index page for viewing. You can still follow the thread from inside the message itself. To engage this feature click the compress threads checkbox and hit the "clear icons" button.

Due to the site's business model, that is not possible. The subscription structure is based in part on space requirements. The more space bought, the more the subscriber is charged. Since allowing compressed files would defeat the purpose of charging Subscribers for the space they are using, we regret that we do not allow the use of any compressed files.

Drain extractors daily and check internal filters monthly. Replace desiccant beads when indicated and have your refrigerant dryers serviced once a year. Depending on size and volume, an automatic indicator may be used to ensure proper performance. Again, always consult the manufacturer's manual.

The HECAT is designed to be used by state, regional and local education agency staff and others responsible for selecting, supervising, developing or using health education curricula in schools.

Using a vacuum the thermoforming material is drawn onto the model. Using compressed air technique the thermoforming material is pressed on the model. That is proved to be wrong. What really is important in thermoforming is, that a rapid forming is realized. This is ensured by the reserve vacuum of the ERKOFORM-3d unit. With the reserve vacuum, the vacuum already exists before the thermoforming phase and thus takes a sudden effect.

The manufacturers of the baghouse usually have designed the unit to operate with a specified pulse pressure. In the absence of that some general rules can be applied. For a typical baghouse with 10'-12' long bags the pulse pressure should be between 80-100 psig. Bags of 6'-8' would be lower (60-80 psig) and bags of 14' or more may require 120 psig or more to clean adequately.

No. Commercially, compressed air is by far the most commonly used gas but super heated steam (no moisture is present in the super heat state) is used in very large installations grinding primarily titanium dioxide pigment. Nitrogen is commonly used when a material must be ground in an inert atmosphere to protect from oxidation and possible fire or even explosion of the product. Argon has also been used for this purpose if the less expensive nitrogen was unsuitable.

The amount of air needed depends on the number of cycles run per minute, stroke length, cylinder size, and air pressure used. For 20 kHz presses with standard 2.5-inch bore air cylinders, use the following formula for a rough estimate of air requirements: For 40 kHz presses with standard 1.5-inch bore air cylinders, use the following formula for a rough estimate of air requirements:

Yes, but only with a NEMO approved inflation system. One of the great things about NEMO inflatable tents is that they are designed to be functional at low pressures and therefore don't require heavy pumps or compressed air for inflation. In turn, compressed air systems may be used for extremely rapid deployment, but they will need a regulator or blow-off valve to insure that the pressures do not exceed 9psi.

Yes, we offer regulators for water, steam and other gases. Please contact us for specific information.

All of the applications that we have spoken about will become in reality eventually. We are also working to apply the technology to nautical engines, electric generators, public transportation, industrial machinery, etc. But we still have barely researched on other uses of the engine in areas besides transport and energy generating.More about new applications

Required air volume for the PGC1 is 3 SCFM under normal operation. However, the unit is capable of flowing 5 SCFM. An MPS-1F unit (includes gun, pump, control unit, 45lb hopper and accessories) and may require up to 10 SCFM.

Compressed air is often referred to as your “fourth utility” because it is a huge consumer of electricity, and it’s one of the most energy inefficient systems in your facility. Improving the efficiency of your compressed air system can help you save thousands of dollars on your utility bills each year.

No, not with our standard product. Some options, such as Vacuum Assist or Fluid Transfer Kits require compressed air.
