NOTICE
DIRTY, OILY AIR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIR FILTER BOWL
Some air compressors use synthetic lubricants that contain esters. Esters can damage the
polycarbonates in the air filter bowl.
Add additional gas filtration if necessary.
It is important to choose the correct gas regulator, or regulators, for the conditions at the installation
site. A gas regulator must be compatible with the gases used and appropriate for the environmental
conditions. For example, certain regulators are recommended for specific temperature ranges. The type
of gas (cylinder gas, line gas, or liquefied gas), and the gas-delivery pressure and flow, can also influence
regulator selection.
Single-stage gas regulation:
■
Reduces source gas pressure to the necessary delivery pressure in one step.
■
Is not subject to tightly controlled delivery pressure.
■
Is a good choice for generic applications and where fluctuations in source gas pressure are small.
Dual-stage gas regulations:
■
Reduce source gas pressure to the necessary delivery pressure in two steps. Dual-stage regulation
uses two single-stage regulators. The first regulator reduces the pressure to approximately three times
the maximum delivery pressure. The second regulator reduces pressure to the necessary delivery
pressure.
■
Are a good choice for applications that require consistent delivery pressure and where fluctuations in
source gas pressure are large.
Your gas supplier can recommend the best gas regulator, or regulators, for the conditions at your site.
Local regulations and the type of gas that is used can influence the
recommended inlet gas fittings for your gas connect console. Refer to the
following table.
