PRODUCTS COMPRESSED AIR FLOW METERS IDENTIFY ENERGY LOST FROM LEAKS to the pipework. Sites that cannot afford any production
downtime will benefit from Gardner Denver’s hot tap drill installation
Gardner Denver has launched a range of measurement equipment to identify compressed air energy lost through pipework leakages. With the Carbon Trust reporting that a leak as small as 3mm could cost more than £700 a year in wasted energy, Gardner Denver’s Insertion and In-Line Flow Meters offer a reliable means of evaluating compressed air generation and the associated costs from any downstream inefficiencies. For pipework over an inch and a half
thick this flow meter offers a trusted solution to measure compressed air efficiency, while the In-Line Flow Meter has been developed for pipes with a smaller diameter. Flow, pressure and temperature can all
be monitored at a glance, ensuring any costly air leaks can be quickly identified and remedied. Only one flow meter is needed to measure each of these factors, simply by fixing the equipment directly
process which enables the innovative flow meters to be fitted within 30 minutes without isolating the system. “Generating compressed air accounts for 10% of total energy costs in industry so ensuring wastage is kept to an absolute minimum should be a key concern for all operators,” explains northern Europe aftermarket sales manager Keith Findlay. “Our new flow meters guarantee that
flow, pressure and temperature in compressed air is constantly monitored so companies can implement a reliable energy management programme to reduce overall energy costs. “For guaranteed assurance we
recommend combining our flow meters with our leak detection devices which use ultrasound technology to locate and evaluate the intensity of leaks. A report is then generated, highlighting potential energy savings in further detail. “We are committed to delivering high-
quality and low-maintenance energy management solutions which make a difference to a business’ bottom line.”

MEASURING COMPRESSED AIR TO ISO 8573-1 CLASS 1 the recording of the parameters for compressed air
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES can now measure compressed air to ISO 8573-1 class 1 of the ISO standards. This is extremely important for industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, medical and automotive. BEKO has a portable test rig comprising the
following components: METPOINT OCV system for the measurement of hydrocarbon levels downs to 0.003 mg/m3 which allows for accurate measurement well below the
class 1 standard of less than 0.01 mg/m3. METPOINT dewpoint sensor capable of reading down to -100c pdp which is well below the class 1
for Moisture of -70c. METPOINT BDL an innovative graphic display for
and gas applications. Laser particle counter which measures at 0.1, 0.5 and 1 micron particle sizes as per the ISO 8573 requirement which allows the compressed air particulate contamination to be measured and classified as low as class 1 particulate. The Portable Tester is connected into the
customers compressed air supply. The level of filtration and drying is then checked and confirmed that it has been sized to achieve a minimum of class 3 for particulate, class 4 for moisture and class 2 for hydrocarbons to ensure the unit is not contaminated. BEKO runs the portable tester for a minimum of 1 hour at a flow rate of a minimum of 1 m3/min which allows the METPOINT OCV to get up to temperature, the dewpoint sensor to dry down and the particle counter to purge itself and the pipework. Once the readings are stabilised they are fed into the METPOINT BDL data logger then are recorded on a comprehensive test data sheet with classification findings. The results are then given to the customer with recommendations.

COMPACT OIL- WATER SEPARATOR
Atlas Copco has launched a compact and lightweight oil-water separator unit for its GX 2-7kW range of workshop compressors, employing advanced absorption materials to help safely dispose of oil in compressor condensate. The condensate generated by oil-
injected compressors, after-coolers, dryers, vessels and filters contains traces of oil, dust and moisture and must be treated to eliminate any risk to the environment and comply with stringent environmental regulations before it can be allowed to enter the sewage system. The OSS oil-water separator provides a
compact, clean and cost-effective answer for small compressor installations. Measuring 240 mm x 140 mm and
weighing approximately 1 kg the unit has been designed to operate with Atlas Copco’s state-of-the-art GX workshop compressors. Quick and easy to install and constructed with 100% recyclable materials, the OSS unit operates on a two-stage principle. Condensate enters a depressurisation chamber and undergoes pre-filtration whereby polypropylene material captures large oil droplets then small oil droplets are efficiently absorbed by recycled glass material. After separation the discharge water contains oil levels below 15 parts per million (PPM) and an optional easy sampling kit is available to verify outlet concentration on a regular basis. Until the end of May the OSS oil-water
separator is on offer free of charge with a GX compressor when purchased through Atlas Copco’s e-commerce website The Compressor Store.
