Explains how to use CAGI data sheets to compare blower performance and efficiency.
Whether you call them intermediate controls, flow controls, pressure/flow controls, demand expanders, or any other name, the proper application of them has always been a bit confusing to users. This white paper applies to most all pressure/flow controls and will explain their proper application and benefits.

Partly due to an expanded use of the hazardous area classification system, specifiers are increasingly citing requirements for equipment suitable for use in classified areas. When properly used, the hazardous area classification system makes for a safer work environment. Too often, however, hazard classes are specified without concern for the significantly higher design and procurement costs they bring. In many cases, an open mind and a little ingenuity can avoid excessive costs for compressors and other equipment, without compromising safety.
More than just providing plant air, they’re also a useful source of heat, energy savings, and sustainable operations.
Describes best practices for a cost effective leak identification and repair program.
