Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - (Page 61) Compressed Air Industry AUTOMOTIVE TRANSIT | 10/08 | PRODUCT PICKS New Compressor Selection Guide Kaeser announces a free new compressor selection guide. This eight-page publication takes you step-by-step through the process of evaluating and selecting the right compressor for your needs. This four-color guide sheds light on the different types of air compressors, evaluating compressed air systems, selecting an air compressor, and maintenance. It details compressed air requirements and the cost of compressed air, as well as the global standards for compressed air quality. A compressed air glossary, rules of thumb, troubleshooting guides and conversion formulas are also provided as valuable engineering references. With information on the industry’s hottest trends in remote monitoring, drive technology and integrated systems, this helpful resource makes sure you get the most for your compressed air investment. Kaeser Compressors Tel: 800-777-7873 www.kaeser.com New Dew Point Transmitter Kahn Instruments announced the new Easidew I.S. Transmitter. The Easidew I.S. is a low cost, intrinsically safe, loop-powered (2-wire) dew point transmitter for continuous measurement of the moisture content in hazardous area applications. Key features include: p New Diesel Generator Compressor Service vehicles and race car trailer owners who want to conserve valuable space have to look no further than Next Generation Power. Their latest product combines a powerful generator and heavy-duty compressor into one, compact unit. The sleek Generator Compressor measures just 42" L x 26" D x 30" H and weighs only 375 lbs. Now diesel-powered vehicles no longer need to have a separate fuel supply for gasoline compressors and generators. Able to run on the same fuel system, the two-in-one, diesel-powered Generator Compressor produces 20 cfm at 150 psi and 5 kW of electrical power. Operating at a very low 1,000 rpm for longer service life, the powder-coated, belt-driven Schulz air compressor has all CNC-machined parts. This diesel-powered unit offers a longer life, lower maintenance and better fuel efficiency than gasoline. Tried and trued, the efficient Next Generation Power gen-set features a durable, 2-cylinder Kubota Z482 engine. Water-cooled, it runs at mid-speed, peak torque at a comfortable 2,800 rpm. A vortex combustion system creates greater energy output with less fuel consumption and cleaner burning exhaust. Suggested retail price of the Generator Compressor is $6,495.

The ability to be connected in a 2-wire, loop powered configuration, while maintaining complete backward compatibility with all existing 3-wire installations. An output that is configurable in either dew point or PPMv moisture content (0–100, 0–1,000 and 0–3,000 PPMv ranges). A 10 micron High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sensor guard designed to show contamination for service ease. Small footprint — the same dimensions as the Kahn Easidew 2-Wire Transmitter. p p p p The Easidew I.S. Transmitter has a dew point measurement range of -148 °F to +68 °F, an accuracy of ±3.6 °F and operates from any 12 to 28 VDC power source. The instrument also features a field adjustable, 4–20 mA, linear analog output, resettable failure modes for Over Range, Under Range and Sensor Fault conditions and temperature compensation.
