Pressure switch checks itself

Differential pressure electronic switch continuously monitors and communicates its own health status. The “I Am Working” and “I Have Switched” signals are communicated both locally and remotely. The local, digital display and easy programmability make the device simple to install, set up, and test. The switch replaces airflow indicators, limit switches, and transmitters combined, on a single process connection.

Controller reduces compressor energy costs

Flow Controller creates “real” storage within receiver tanks by accumulating compressed air without delivering it downstream. The air pressure increases upstream, while the controller delivers the needed flow downstream at a constant system pressure. This action reduces actual flow demand by eliminating artificial demand. Energy is saved because standby compressors don’t have to come on-line and leakage is reduced.
