The Vertical Cartridge Filter (VCF; photo) is a pulse-jet filter designed to handle medium to high air volumes for industrial dust removal. It is typically used as a nuisance dust collector in applications with light dust loads and a high…
At Powtech last month, this company presented completely new, more wear-resistant screen cloths that, compared to previous standard cloths, achieve an increased service life with abrasive bulk materials. Matched to the wire thickness and mesh size, the screen cloths are…
Due to favorable properties, such as light weight and corrosion resistance, plastic-piping systems are suitable for a growing number of applications Over the past few decades, plastic-piping systems have been adopted in many different sectors of the chemical process industries…
The Delta Hybrid series (photo) offers an innovative solution for the pneumatic conveying of sensitive, powdery and granular media. The rotary lobe compressors or screw blowers can offer maximum energy efficiency, minimum lifecycle costs, 100% pure and reliable process air…
Spring arms and measuring wheels (photo) have been added to this company’s encoder portfolio, thus offering a reliable solution for measuring linear moving objects. The freely combinable spring arms and measuring wheel systems enable the measurement of lengths and speeds…
Pressure-measuring devices for hydrogen Hydrogen is considered a difficult medium because its particularly small molecules can penetrate even stainless steel and also damage a material’s structure, causing embrittlement or cracks. It is therefore extremely important that measuring devices for H2…
With a minimal footprint of approximately 1 m², the compact Aircenter systems (photo) are available for flowrates from 0.34 to 2.7 m³/min and also provide application-specific compressed-air treatment and storage. All Aircenter models are characterized by their exceptional efficiency. At…
The GS variable-speed drive (VSD) compressor (photo) can adapt and optimize its operations, thanks to “smart” features. The GA VSDS (photo) is the third generation of VSD compressors. VSD compressors significantly reduce energy consumption by adjusting their motor speed to…
Fouling of heat exchanger surfaces reduces thermal efficiency. An improved understanding of fouling and the design factors that affect it can help ensure that heat exchange occurs during normal operating conditions Using tubular heat exchangers is an efficient and reliable…
This C Series heat exchanger (photo) replaced an older shell-and-tube design that had high operating costs, due to a 2.4 psi pressure drop. While both old and new units have the same capabilities, the new C Series pressure drop is…
