Boge SO 150-2 to SO 269-2 oil-free, water-cooled screw compressors
07 January, 2011 byBoge has launched its second-generation SO 150-2 to SO 269-2 oil-free, water-cooled screw compressors. Increased efficiency, improved volume flow and lower sound pressure values are just some of the developments which have been made.
Geelen counterflow dryers and coolers
07 January, 2011 byGeelen counterflow dryers and coolers exclusively use the counterflow principle which is claimed to be the most efficient method to exchange energy between any two flows of gases, liquids or solids. By applying this principle in the dryers, users can minimise the amount of drying air needed and maximise the amount of energy that can be transferred. This results in a lower air exhaust volume and a lower exhaust air temperature.
Pepperl+Fuchs high-temperature sensor cordsets and cables
07 January, 2011Pepperl+Fuchs has released a range of cables and cordsets for high-temperature environments. With improved resistance to weld slag, the cables can handle temperature ranges of -40 up to +150°C for extended time periods of up to 3000 h.
