Understanding air flow and FRLs

September 29, 2023 By Mary Gannon

FRLs and airflow adobe stock

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Pneumatic systems are widely used within industrial environments to power machinery and equipment, providing reliable and efficient performance. The Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) is vital in maintaining optimal air quality and pressure within these systems. However, when selecting an FRL, one must not overlook the significance of understanding FRL air flow characteristics, […]

Closed-loop feedback opens up possibilities

June 6, 2023 By Rachael Pasini

Proportion Air's QB3 manifold.

Manufacturers across all industries seek ways to electrify, digitize, and automate their systems to decrease costs and increase efficiency. Electro-pneumatic pressure regulators and valves enable such efforts while improving pressure and flow rate accuracy. Back in the day, there were only manual pressure regulators that relied on the skill and precision of the human hand. […]

How do you specify electropneumatic flow controllers and regulators?

September 8, 2022 By Mary Gannon

electropneumatic flow controllers and regulators shutterstock_1550034317

Electropneumatic flow controllers and regulators are by nature both electrical and mechanical, thus requiring the designer to develop two sets of specifications for the regulator to function properly.  The pneumatic or mechanical portion of the device is the same as a standard flow control valve or regulator. As with many things in fluid power, the […]

Can electropneumatic regulators be used in hazardous locations?

August 11, 2022 By Mary Gannon

Hazardous locations require products built specifically for them. Propotion-Air’s FM-approved line includes three intrinsically safe devices serving customizable pressure ranges from vacuum up to 150 psig and flows to 200 scfm, and one non-incendive device handling pressures up to 150 psig and flows to 0.80 scfm.

When thinking of hazardous locations, one’s mind conjures an oil/gas drilling rig, refinery, or underground coal mine — all these locations have in the past utilized traditional pneumatics as risk reduction because they do not have a spark risk, which a solenoid’s electrical actuation requires and creates. Expanding our view of hazardous locations, we should […]

Are electropneumatic controllers suitable for vacuum applications?

June 21, 2022 By Mary Gannon

AdobeStock_404081380

Both electropneumatic pressure regulators and flow control valves can be utilized in controlling vacuum systems. By using an electropneumatic pressure regulator, the designer develops a system which the suction force of the vacuum cup can be precisely controlled. The function of the electropneumatic flow control remains the same when controlling the flow of air in […]
