A new range of air preparation equipment from Midland-ACS has been developed to give higher flow rates and more precise control of air pressure and flow in arduous environments such as food, water processing and petrochemical applications. The introduction of the new 3550 Series has reduced the weight of an Impact 2000 assembly further by increasing the flow capability of the air preparation elements and therefore allowing smaller units to be specified for each application. The flow rate of the 0.5’ port size for example, has increased from 2.2Cv to 4.4Cv. The 3550 Series encompasses 316 Stainless filter regulator units, filters, pressure regulators and lubricators. All components in the 3550 Series including; filters, regulators and lubricators are manufactured from 316 stainless steel, allowing them to operate with gases including natural gas, inert gases and air. The 3550 Series units are available in four sizes from 0.25’ to1’ port diameter. Flow rates range from 2.4Cv to 15Cv high flow version (217dm3/sec). Inlet pressures are 20bar and outlet pressures can be selected using a choice of four springs from 2 to 12bar. Working temperatures vary from -200C to +800C as standard and a special low temperature version is also available for extreme conditions.
