Highly Efficient Oil-Free Compressed Air from BOGE!

BOGE has just announced the launch of their second generation SO series oil free screw compressors. The second generation models set new standards in the 110 to 255 kW performance class boasting higher efficiency, reduced sound pressure levels and a new service friendly layout. BOGE oil free screw compressors have long since proved their importance to compressed air users in critical applications such as pharmaceuticals, food and semi conductor industries or wherever absolutely oil free compressed air generation is prerequisite.

On-going product development has now led to the launch of the second generation air or water cooled SO series oil free screw compressors.

The cooling air flow of the SO -2 models has been substantially optimised. Intake air is drawn from the coolest area to help increase the free air delivery and additionally the minimisation of internal pressure losses has led to greater efficiency both which help to improve specific power consumption.

The SO -2 models are now equipped with a combined sound and pulsation absorber. An intelligent design and the use of powerful absorbing materials means the entire range operates with significantly improved sound pressure levels making the new SO series quieter in operation than ever before.

A further technical improvement is the addition of a condensate separator in the intercooler between the first and second stage airends. This improved separation means absolutely safe operation for the second stage in applications where there are low ambient temperatures or in situations where there is high humidity.

Improved access to the more intensive maintenance components has also been an important part of the SO enhancement; for example the oil cooler has been relocated from under the airend and is now located in the area beneath the intercooler and after-cooler. The BOGE SO -2 series has been re-engineered to produce oil free compressed air at the highest level of efficiency and safety and the 8 models and 16 variations ensures there is a version to meet all requirements from 110 to 355 kW.

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.
