AutoJet Technologies Introduces a Turnkey Gas Conditioning
System
January
24, 2003 - AutoJet Technologies, a division of Spraying Systems
Co., has introduced a turnkey gas conditioning system that ensures
highly accurate temperature control and optimum spray nozzle performance.
Precise spray control more efficiently reduces gas volume and lowers
energy and maintenance costs.
The
AutoJet Gas Conditioning System is designed around Spraying System
Co.'s
FloMax air-atomizing nozzle and controlled by the Model 2250 AutoJet
Spray Controller. The Model 2250 Controller is pre-programmed for
gas conditioning applications, which saves time and money during
system implementation.
"Combining
the proven FloMax nozzles with the precision of our PC-based, closed
loop controller can decrease operating expenses up to 50% in electricity
usage and up to 75% in labor maintenance," said Bill Kohley,
vice president of AutoJet Technologies. "Savings of $25,000
in the first year alone are possible from lower installation and
operating costs."
The
Model 2250 Controller manages the closed loop system by regulating
liquid and air flow to the FloMax nozzles based on information provided
by one or more temperature sensors. Patent-pending SprayLogic™
software ensures the highest level of reactivity and accuracy for
the system. The controller has an easy-to-use menu system and is
preprogrammed for gas conditioning applications. The controller
optimizes spray nozzle performance based on the users input for
their specific operation. FloMax air atomizing nozzles deliver optimal
drop size without creating excess moisture. The nozzles offer the
greatest energy efficiency available and maximum flexibility with
a high turndown ratio of flow rate.
In
addition to FloMax nozzles and the Model 2250 controller, filters,
temperature sensors, pumps, liquid regulators and air regulators
are standard components of the system.
The
liquid line includes redundant pumps, double filtration and a liquid
regulator with its bypass. The air line features air filtration
and either manual or proportional air regulation with its bypass.
Proportional regulation is used when a high turndown ratio is required
and energy can be saved by accurately monitoring air flow. Minimal
air flow is maintained through the nozzle at all times to prevent
clogging by ashes or dust carried by gas.
"In
recent years, evaporative cooling utilizing air atomization has
become the preferred way to cool and condition gases," said
Kohley. "This is due to the more efficient reduction of gas
volumes, minimized maintenance, elimination of wet deposits and
the precise control of humidity prior to ESPs. All of these factors
make compliance with government regulations less costly."
