Air flow pressure switches and differential pressure switches work just like the light switches we have in our living rooms at home: when they are switched on, the switch makes contact, closes the circuit, and turns on. When they are switched off, the circuit is broken and power turns off. With air flow switches, instead of being manually switched, the air flow switch closes or opens the contact by reacting to changes in the air pressure at a pre-set actuation point, and turns on and off accordingly. These air pressure switches may be used to start/stop motors or fans, open/close dampers or louvers, sound alarms, and more. Continue reading “Let’s Chat About Air Pressure Switches!”
Maintain Continuous Operation from Leaking Pulse-Jet Bag Filters
Dust Collector
A dust collector is a system used to improve the quality of air within an industrial and commercial environment by collecting dust and other impurities from the air. Continue reading “Maintain Continuous Operation from Leaking Pulse-Jet Bag Filters”
The Importance of Instrument Calibration
Calibration is the comparison and adjustment of a reading from an instrument in correlation with the reading of a higher accuracy piece of equipment. The overall goal of this process is to minimize measurement uncertainty and ensure the accuracy of an instrument.
Hospitals: The Hot-Wired Anemometers That Keep Them Running Properly
Hot-wire anemometers are often used in a hospital environment to measure and maintain room pressurization/de-pressurization. These applications require a positive pressure in operating rooms where bacteria cannot be allowed to enter, or a negative pressure in a quarantine environment to ensure that all bacteria will stay within the room. Continue reading “Hospitals: The Hot-Wired Anemometers That Keep Them Running Properly”
