However it is not just their remarkably low CO2 footprint that gives the new refrigerant dryers the edge; they also offer economic advantages. The smart control perfectly adjusts to the actual demand and reduces power consumption at a constant pressure dew point. Other components also ensure efficient operation. Economical in every detail, BOGE’s new DS-2 refrigerant compressed air dryers feature a smart control that automatically switches off the cooling compressor at partial load as soon as the required dew point has been reached. The cooling temperature is stored in the heat exchanger. This cold reserve cools the incoming compressed air until the dew point rises again. The cooling compressor only starts up again to maintain the required temperature level, and thus only begins consuming energy at this point. This principle allows energy savings of up to 79% compared to a dryer in continuous operation. The new frequency-controlled fan ensures a stable condensation pressure and reduces energy consumption by up…

Laser systems offer two general processes for material removal. One widely used process occurs during manufacturing for the production of new products that require micromachining. The other refers to a removal of surface congestion or contamination in a large industrial environment. For either process, the team at Raymax are able to provide expert advice, installation and on-going support. Precision material removal in the production of medical products can be carried out with an excimer laser produced by the OPTEC/LASEA Group, a Belgium-based company that works with some of the largest medical manufacturers in Europe. OPTEC excimer lasers are used to manufacture components for electrophysiology (EP) because they can strip or ablate wire as thin as a human hair. Nitinol wire, an amalgam of nickel and titanium that is highly elastic with excellent shape memory, is initially manufactured with a transparent plastic coating. A suitable laser is used in the micro-machining process to cut away the insulative coverage without damaging the nitinol wire. In procedures for…
