Hi-line boosts environmental credentials even further with switch to R513a refrigerant
Hi-line Industries, an established and reputable UK manufacturer of high-quality compressed air purification equipment, has released the 2021 version of its energy-efficient Tundra refrigeration dryers. Most notable among the enhancements is a switch of refrigerant to R513a in models up to and including Tundra 115 (115 cfm, 195 m3/hr capacity). A HFC/HFO blend, R513a refrigerant has no ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and a much reduced CO2 impact in comparison with the previous R134a refrigerant. As a result, customers can rest assured that Hi-line is continuing its commitment to sustainability in manufacturing by minimising its carbon footprint.
The F-Gas regulation means that refrigerants with a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of
more than 2500 are now subject to a ban. However, while R134a is below this limit and remains legal, it is sufficiently high for the regulation to stipulate an incremental phasing- down of production quotas to help reduce environmental impact. R513A is widely viewed as the optimum replacement.
Importantly, R513a is an A1 safety group refrigerant and is neither toxic nor combustible.
Unlike flammable refrigerants, R513a is subject to less stringent regulations in handling, maintenance intervals and compulsory leak tests, thus saving time and money.
Switching to R513a builds on the sustainable credentials of the Tundra range, which is
Wieland’s Samos® PRO – THE Compact Modular Safety Controller
Designed with maximum functionality in mind, samos® PRO from Wieland Electric is a compact modular safety controller for machine and automation control. Part of the samos® range of safety systems, it has multi-functional base modules that are modularly interlinked, extending its safety functions module by module. The compact design of samos® PRO means it
offers the highest possible degree of flexibility, consisting of function modules of only 22.5mm wide and programmable safety solutions from a width of 45mm. These modules can be easily plugged together and are available as input/output, input or relay output units and gateways in conjunction with the controller. A single contact terminal also fulfils CAT. 4 (EN954-1) requirements. The range also offers universal I/O which is configured on samos® PLAN.

already renowned for its optimised energy efficiency via capabilities such as minimal pressure drop and lower absorbed power. Reduced energy consumption is vital in today’s ultra- competitive marketplace, which is why Hi-line has worked hard to offer customers a dryer solution that drives down energy costs.
The company’s integrated Direct Expansion technology delivers a constant +3°C dewpoint,
unlike a chilled mass dryer, which can be as high as +10°C during its thermal cycle. Furthermore, the single-cell, all-aluminium heat exchanger module provides highly efficient heat transfer at low energy cost, while a further notable energy-saving attribute is the variable- speed fan, which only consumes the energy necessary to meet essential operational needs.
A robust, high-quality build standard is another attribute of these class-leading dryers. For
instance, by controlling the fan speed on the refrigerant circuit there is no need for fan-pressure switches, which can often become defective in dryers of this type. The fewer moving parts, the more reliable the product, making it ideal for applications that include workshop air and machine air in general manufacturing, as well as further uses in sectors that include packaging, textile, food, beverage, medical, dairy and automotive.
