Hydraulics & Pneumatics March 2024

SPOTLIGHT HI-LINE INDUSTRIES has announced that as of 2024, its entire popular and high-performing Tundra range of refrigerant air dryers will transition to R-513A, a refrigerant with zero ozone depleting potential (ODP) that helps customers to enhance their sustainability credentials. Hi-line says although it attributes the success of the Tundra range in compressed air applications to its ultrareliable performance, energy efficiency and reasonable price tag, the introduction of R513-A and its zero ODP means there really is no need to go anywhere else for refrigerant air dryers. R-513A (Opteon XP10) refrigerant is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) based replacement for R-134a. Ideal for use in medium and low temperature refrigeration products, such as Tundra air dryers, R-513A offers 56% lower GWP (global warming potential) than R-134a, delivering long-term sustainability and F gas legislation compliance. Notably, R-513A resides in the A1 (non-flammable) safety class, making it an ideal retrofit candidate for R-134a, while offering very similar cooling performance. R-513A also provides negligible temperature glide to ensure reliable performance day after day. Despite the new innovation in refrigerant development, Hi-line says it intends to hold pricing for the Tundra range firm throughout 2024. This initiative will help customers combat challenging trading conditions and remain competitive in their respective industries. Tundra refrigeration air dryers are in widespread use across UK industry, reportedly improving the quality of compressed air, protecting valuable assets, and outperforming rival technologies in energy efficiency by minimising pressure drop and lowering absorbed power. t| 01283 533377 e| enquiries@hilineindustries.com w| www.hilineindustries.com ZERO OZONE DEPLETING POTENTIAL COAX VALVES UK has announced it has introduced the new FMX range of compact, high flow, stainless steel externally controlled valves.

SETTIMA – TRIPLE SCREW PUMPS * Quiet, smooth running High flows * ATEX Ex certified * Oils, Fuels, Chemicals FPS AIR COMPRESSORS says its new Contain-Air solution will transform the way companies gain quick and economic access to compressed air systems. The company says as a turnkey product, the groundbreaking ContainAir portable compressed air room arrives onsite pre-installed and ready to use, providing unparalleled convenience, cost reductions and space savings to boost the competitiveness of UK businesses. Adopting Contain-Air avoids the complex installation, high costs and considerable space demands associated with conventional compressed air systems. This exciting innovation overcomes these challenges by delivering a complete solution that streamlines the entire installation and commissioning process. By integrating all components into one compact unit, the new containerised solution reduces the need for on-site assembly and minimises the risk of errors. Factories, food plants, hospitals and scientific research facilities - or any other site with a requirement for compressed air - can begin using Contain-Air immediately upon delivery thanks to connect-and-go functionality. This quiet and efficient system requires only power and connection to the air network to get started, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Businesses can instead focus on core operations without the hassle of complex set-up procedures, knowing that they are compliant and efficient. The complete compressed air station includes all the air treatment necessary to meet the demands of any air quality standard: industrial, food production, medical, scientific instrument, breathing air and more. As well as new installations, the system will suit companies experiencing a compressed air bottleneck or unexpected compressor downtime. The convenient Contain-Air ensures users can take advantage of resource-conserving production, process reliability and quality – in double-quick time. t| 01865 892 620 e| sales@fps-compressors.co.uk w| www.fps-compressors.co.uk/contain-air COST-EFFECTIVE ACCESS TO COMPRESSED AIR
