Parker introduces cost-efficient and energy-saving refrigeration dryer series StarlettePlus-E for effective removal of water vapour from compressed air

Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, presents with the new StarlettePlus-E series an efficient solution for the reliable removal of water vapor from compressed air. The new series from Parker Hiross, the expert brand within Parker for cooling & refrigeration, combines quality and efficiency at low operating costs while at the same time offering the smallest carbon footprint currently available. Developed around a state-of-the-art aluminum heat exchanger, the so-called E-Pack (patent pending), the StarlettePlus-E series features an air-to-air and an air-to-refrigerant section, a highly efficient stainless steel demister separator and a moisture collection chamber, resulting in a standard ISO 8573-1 class 4 air quality. The series was designed for industrial and general compressed air applications requiring a pressure dew point as low as 3° C (ISO 8573-1:2010, class 4), a necessity in many manufacturing processes and industries.

Thanks to the highly efficient E-Pack design and the innovative heat exchanger, the refrigerant circuit is noticeably smaller and offers lowest absorbed power (kW) by the fridge compressors in its range. In addition, it uses minimum refrigerant charges which, on average, are 25 % lower than those of comparable dryers. This makes Parker Hiross StarlettePlus-E the solution with the least running costs and the smallest impact on the environment in the market. Additional cost reductions can be achieved with the Energy Save feature which is available as of model 026 and bigger. It will decrease energy consumption during partial load operation by cycling the fridge compressor activity while at the same time cooling the inlet air with the cold reserve stored in the E-Pack mass.

All models are equipped with a digital controller, featuring functionalities which are useful in day-by-day operations of any application: dew point level indication, voltage-free alarm contact, maintenance reminder and integrated time controlled condensate drain. In addition, thanks to its dual frequency design, StarlettePlus-E is ready to operate either in 50Hz or 60Hz environments.

Removable panels and internal component disposition facilitate service inspections and maintenance. For easy access to the drain, a pass-through drain niche is also available on all SPE models. The StarlettePlus-E can either be installed next to or hung on a wall, making it a most flexible solution for many environments. The series is available as of now.

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.
