Sullair Unveils Redesigned 200hp Compressors

Sullair Corporation has announced the redesign of its 200hp compressors, which feature the company's single-stage rotary screw air end. These compressors are offered with a choice of constant-speed-drive models (LS-200S) or constant-speed drive with variable capacity control (VCC-200S and VCC-250S). These 200hp compressors have capacities ranging from 457acfm to 980acfm and pressure ranges from 100psig to 175psig.

The variable-speed-drive (VSD) model, V-200S, with capacities of 576acfm to 967acfm, completes the compressor offering. These compressors have flange-mounted motors and air ends to provide positive alignment and to extend bearing life in both. Variable capacity control is achieved with Sullair's spiral valve technology. Part-load capacity and efficiency can produce energy savings up to 17-30 per cent.

The V-200S compressor with a VSD achieves further part-load and full-load energy savings. These Sullair compressors are available with or without sound-attenuating enclosures and with a choice of water-cooled or air-cooled models. All models feature the company's multi-stage air-fluid separation with a dual nested optimiser separator element to minimise fluid carryover.

The Optimalair heavy-duty air intake filter reduces pressure drop for additional energy savings throughout its operating life. The Sullair compressors also feature an advanced upgrade of the company's Supervisor Controller. This computer-compatible microprocessor control unit provides critical operating information using graphics of monitored functions and stop/start, sequencing and activation controls.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
