Transvectors General Information
The Air Supply
Pressure
Compressed air consumption through the Transvector is proportional
to the absolute inlet pressure. Therefore, the compressed air
consumed at 50 PSIG (3.4 Bar) or 65 PSIG (4.5 Bar) is half of
that consumed at 115 PSIG (7.9 Bar) or 130 PSIG (9.0 Bar). By
controlling the inlet pressure, it is possible to vary output
flow over a wide range-duplicating the functions of complex variable-pitch
and variable-speed fan systems. Transvectors have no moving parts
and do not require complex controls. In automated systems, the
pressure regulator can be pilot operated and controlled from a
remote location. Since airflow requirements of an application
are usually not known, we recommend the use of a pressure regulator.
This will ensure that the Transvector is set to only consume the
required amount of compressed air.
Filtration/Maintenance
For Transvectors to operate properly, they must be kept clean.
Condensation in compressed air lines creates rust and dirt. Use
a 5-micron filter separator to remove foreign material from the
lines. Failure to use a filter will cause clogging in a matter
of minutes. Transvectors have no moving parts. If the air is properly
filtered and the filter elements are regularly changed, no maintenance
should be required. Change the filter elements and inspect the
inside of the Transvector about every six months for dirt, wear
and contamination. Remove the four screws that secure the suction
inlet to the body and carefully lift out the aluminum shim and
inspect it and the nozzle area for accumulated dirt. If dirt is
observed, increase filter changing frequency.
Ducting Restrictions
Any restriction placed in the outlet or at the suction inlet of
a Transvector will reduce its performance. Transvectors will work
against small dusting back pressures at either end. They are designed
to anticipate some back pressure-up to 2" (5.1 mm) of water
column. In many applications, the outlet of a Transvector will
be connected to ducting to carry smoke or fumes away. Design ducting
for total flow resistances of less than 2" (5.1 mm) water
column. This will prevent major reductions in flow performance.
Venting
When venting a large tank or other closed space where workers
are involved, consider the nature of the fumes to be removed.
Whether they are heavier or lighter than air will determine how
the Transvector should be used. The following suggestions are
for a large tank with a hatch at the top. For heavier than air
fumes use the suction feature of the Transvector. Place it low
in the tank in a remote corner. Attach a flexible exhaust tube
to the Transvector outlet and run it out of the hatch. As fumes
are vented, fresh air will flow in the hatch. For lighter than
air fumes, place the Transvector outside the tank near the hatch.
Attach flexible tubing to the Transvector outlet and run it down
into a remote corner. As the Transvector pumps fresh air into
the tank, the lighter fumes will be forced out the hatch.
Conveying
Transvectors are ideal for conveying light parts with air. Most
materials such as sawdust, grain, plastic parts and resins, soap
flakes and so on work well in Transvector conveying systems. The
material should be dry, light and finely divided.
Material flowing in a tube will slow because of loss of velocity
in the tube. This is especially true in blow conveying where the
material is sucked into the Transvector and blown out into a tube
connected to its outlet. As the conveyed material slows down,
it can bunch together causing pressure drops and blockage. Use
blow conveying on short runs.
Vacuum conveying is preferred on long runs. In vacuum conveying,
the material is drawn into the remote end of the tube and moves
toward the Transvector. Air in the tube moves faster as it approaches
the Transvector, preventing blocking and bunching.
Another important consideration is static electricity. Conveying
applications can build large static charges causing sparks and
a possible fire. Use grounded metal piping to eliminate charge
build-up when flammable materials are nearby.
Since large volumes of air are used in Transvector air conveying,
the material arrives at the end of the run in a rush of air. Care
must be taken to separate the material from the air. If the stream
is injected tangentially into a cylindrical receptacle, it can
be settled out in a quiet zone at the bottom of the container.
The container must be vented.
Exhausting
A common use for Transvector Airflow Amplifiers is smoke and fume
removal from welding operations and solvent tanks. Because of
the unusually quiet operation of the Transvector; it can be placed
near workers. Its output can be ducted through flexible tubing
to a window or an existing exhaust duct over 50' (15m) away.
Always use a filter and pressure regulator. Start with a very
low pressure, about 5 PSIG (0.34 Bar), and run the process. Increase
pressure slowly until all of the smoke or fumes are removed. Lock
the regulator knob at this point.
Cooling
Transvectors can be used to cool hot parts when they are located
in a relatively cool area. The Transvector's capacity to cool
the parts is directly related to the total airflow directed at
the part and the difference between the room and part temperatures.
Transvectors do not contaminate parts with coolant.
