Advanced Rotary Screw Air Compressor Technologies

Variable Speed Rotary Screw Air Compressors (VS Technology)

Typically air demand in a plant varies widely throughout the day. In addition, fluctuations can occur from weekday-to-weekend, season-to-season and shift-to-shift. Pressure requirements can also change from machine-to-machine or from one application to another. You need someone to evaluate your unique, often complex requirements and recommend a tailored solution.

The VS Series is a complete, revolutionary compressor line that is a Smarter Solution to your Complex Needs. The efficiency limitations of competitive variable speed drive compressors have been eliminated to establish a new standard in this area. The flexibility of this line exceeds that of any other compressor. This means stable pressure in the plant and maximum productivity.

May Charity and Awareness Events:

The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It is located in the upper right abdomen.

The normal liver has many important complex functions. These functions include manufacture of plasma proteins, storage of carbohydrates, detoxifying drugs and toxins, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, bile formation, and others.

Cirrhosis is a disease of the liver in which normal cells are replaced by scar tissue. This condition results in the failure of the liver to perform many of its usual functions. There are many causes of cirrhosis. Alcohol is a very common cause, particularly in the Western world. The development of cirrhosis in alcohol consumers depends upon the amount and regularity of intake.

Viral liver inflammation (hepatitis) is also a common cause of cirrhosis, although most patients with viral hepatitis will not develop cirrhosis.

NEW PRODUCTS

Emergency stop switch:
Rapidly connected without problems

The decisive advantages of the passive safety distributor compared to conventional wiring are the low planning cost, the time that is saved during installation, the reduced amount of space, the reduction in wiring errors, the ease of servicing and the reduced amount of stop time.

The installation of conventional EMERGENCY STOP loops requires intensive preparation and represents a potential error source when wiring work is being carried out. Terminal boxes also take up a considerable amount of room in the field. Passive safety distributors can replace manually wired terminal boxes, and have several advantages compared to the conventional method.

Up to six two-channel EMERGENCY STOP buttons can be quickly and easily connected to a passive safety distributor with standard M12 cables. The distributor is pre-wired and automatically interconnects the individual buttons to form an EMERGENCY STOP loop. Sockets that are not required can be closed off with jumper plugs. Two separate M12 sockets are available for acknowledge switches or lamps. Passive safety distributors also make machinery easier to service and maintain: The distributor indicates the point at which the EMERGENCY STOP loop has been interrupted by a button being pressed.
