Compressed Air Best Practices - September 2008 - (Page 61) Compressed Air Industry FOOD PACKAGING & PROCESSING | 09/08 | PRODUCT PICKS Compressed Air Hose Parker announced its new Compressed Air Hose (CAH) designed and specially formulated to withstand the demanding requirements of air compressors. Every part of the new CAH line is specially designed — from the inner tube of Nitrile synthetic rubber, to the wire and fiber reinforcement and the outer fiber braid cover. The result is a compressed air hose with superior fluid compatibility for all air compressor applications. Available in sizes from -4 (3/16-in.) to -40 (2 3/8-in.) CAH works equally well with the following fluids and temperatures in pressures up to 500 psi: p Petroleum-base hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils and antifreeze solutions -10 °F to 235 °F Polyol Ester fluids up to 175 °F Water, water/oil emulsion and water glycol fluids up to 185 °F Air up to 158 °F Parker Hannifin Tel: 440-205-7799 www.parkerhose.com p p p Reduce Air Compressor Energy Costs JORC announced its new Air-Saver® programmable motorized ball valve. Air-Saver® is installed on the outlet of the compressed air storage tank to isolate the tank from the downstream piping distribution system. When the plant is closed overnight and air leaks cause pressure to drop, Air-Saver® will prevent tank pressure to drop. This in turn will prevent the air compressors from starting up (thereby saving energy) to restore the tank pressure. Ideal for installations which close down overnight, Air-Saver® can be programmed to automatically OPEN just prior to when the working shift begins and to CLOSE just after the working shift is over.

This voluntary program subjects member manufacturers’ 200–1000 scfm refrigerated air dryers to controlled laboratory testing to validate pressure dew point, pressure drop and energy consumption against a manufacturer’s published performance claims. ZEKS is among the first to receive this certification. The significance of obtaining this certification is that, for the first time, buyers of compressed air treatment equipment can compare performance and energy consumption of similarly-sized dryers available from participating manufacturers using unbiased results from third-party testing. Individuals are invited to access the CAGI Dryer Data Sheets that are posted on the ZEKS website.
