What Are Air Nozzles and Jets?
|
|
A simple solution to excessive air consumption and noise levels on compressed air blowoff operations. Air Nozzles and Jets produce outlet flows up to 25 times compressed air consumption using a small amount of compressed air as the power source.
|
Why Air Nozzles and Jets?
|
|
Air savings, compared to open copper tubes or pipe nipples commonly used for blowoff can be as high as 80%. Less compressed air means less noise. The typical noise level reduction is 10 dBA. All EXAIR Air Nozzles and Jets meet OSHA maximum dead-ended pressure and sound level exposure requirements and are CE compliant.
An open 1/4" (6mm) copper tube, by contrast, ejects pure compressed air at up to 40 standard cubic feet per minute (1133 SLPM), the entire output of a 10 horsepower compressor. Annual energy cost can exceed $1,000 per year (U.S. Dollars). Noise levels in excess of 100 dBA are commonly produced. When supply pressure exceeds 30 PSIG (2 BAR), an open jet violates OSHA static pressure requirements.

Flexible Stay Set Hoses™ are ideal where frequent repositioning of air nozzles is required.

Reduce Noise Levels
|
|
High noise levels are a common problem for many plants. Compressed air noise often exceeds OSHA noise level exposure requirements, resulting in hearing loss to those working in close proximity. Noisy blowoffs at 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR) that produce noise levels of 100 dBA can be reduced to only 74 dBA when using a Super Air Nozzle. At that pressure, it is still possible to obtain hard-hitting force without the high noise.
