Most notable among the enhancements is a switch of refrigerant to R513a in models up to and including Tundra 115 (115 cfm, 195 m3/hr capacity). A HFC/HFO blend, R513a refrigerant has no ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and a much reduced CO2 impact in comparison with the previous R134a refrigerant. As a result, customers can rest assured that Hi-line is continuing its commitment to sustainability in manufacturing by minimising its carbon footprint. The F-Gas regulation means that refrigerants with a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of more than 2500 are now subject to a ban. However, while R134a is below this limit and remains legal, it is sufficiently high for the regulation to stipulate an incremental phasing-down of production quotas to help reduce environmental impact. R513A is widely viewed as the optimum replacement. Importantly, R513a is an A1 safety group refrigerant and is neither toxic nor combustible. Unlike flammable refrigerants, R513a is subject to less stringent regulations in handling, maintenance intervals and compulsory leak tests, thus saving time and money. Switching to R513a builds on the sustainable credentials of the Tundra range, which is already renowned for its optimised energy efficiency via capabilities such as minimal pressure drop and lower absorbed power. t | 01283 533377 e | enquiries@hilineindustries.com w | www.hilineindustries.com BOOSTING ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS AB COMPONENTS has announced it has added Zinga to its growing portfolio of brands and has been appointed sole UK distributor. Zinga has been manufacturing high quality filtration systems and accessories for over 40 years out of its facility in Wisconsin, USA and is part of the worldwide FILTRATION GROUP. It offers one of the most extensive line of spin-on filter heads and elements in the industry. It also offers solutions for medium and high-pressure systems along with an extensive line of breathers and gauges. The company says all products have been proven in harsh environments, Zinga Tect coating is stronger than conventional anodizing to provide the best corrosion protection. t | 0115 932 3227 e | sales@abcomponents.org w | www.abcomponents.org GROWING PORTFOLIO BOGE, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance compressors, has announced it has launched a new website to support manufacturers looking for more economical oil-free Class 0 compressed air solutions. The website, http://oil-free.co.uk , is in response to feedback across several sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical that depend on 100% oil-free compressed air. For these businesses even the slightest trace of oil could have a serious impact on their products and consequently, the health and safety of end users. BOGE says its website showcases alternative solutions by sector, with a host of useful information including whitepapers, user case-studies and topics such as super-deduction and industry myths. t | +44 14 84-719921 e | uk@boge.com w | http://oil-free.co.uk or http://uk.boge.com NEW WEBSITE FOR OIL-FREE SOLUTIONS DNP says its PLK4 series, that is “male” couplings equipped with a decompression system, allows the connection with a “female” coupling even in the presence of residual pressure from the male side. This series of couplings has been designed to be connected to the DNP PLT1 and PLT4 series, both manufactured according to the ISO 16028 standard. The PLK4 series is available from ISO 6.3 up to ISO 50, with a wide range of threads (BSP-NPT-SAE-METRIC) to satisfy every possible need. The peculiarity of this series is the zinc-nickel coating of its surface, which ensures a high resistance to corrosion. t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it PSLK4: THE REVOLUTIONARY SCREW COUPLINGS sales@appliedpumps.co.uk
