Inlet Guide Vanes

Looking for a way to save money on your compressed air energy bill with only minor changes? Air Relief has the answer in an inlet guide vane. Air Relief inlet guide vanes are easy to install and (due to our thin line design) will not require any piping changes. Also, an inlet guide vane will pay itself off with energy savings inside of one year of operation. Now that is quick and easy! If your compressors operate throttled, an inlet guide vane can save you significant money on your power bill!

Loadsharing
If current power prices are putting a crunch on you budget then loadsharing for your centrifugal compressors may be the answer. Loadsharing operates in a peer-to-peer manner between TurboLogix controllers so there are no personal computers or wall mounted “black boxes” to maintain or mount. Each TurboLogix communicates via its Ethernet port to form a high speed data highway, therefore, wiring is simple and quick to install. In addition to loadsharing, the TurboLogix controllers can be set up to start/stop, load and unload compressors based on system dynamics to help further save energy. Loadsharing provides abundant energy savings by managing the compressor turn-down and system operation.

The standard kit includes all hardware, cables, transducers and instruments to perform a complete on-site upgrade. A TurboLogix retrofit provides all of the benefits of the TurboLogix system but does not require a complete panel change out! Typical installation time is less than two days!!

TXAS (Pronounced Texas)
For value conscious customers there is a TurboLogix offering with an alternate scope of supply. The TurboLogix Alternate Scope retains the same standard of quality and basic performance of the standard TurboLogix at a lower cost. The TXAS retains the same Allen-Bradley RSLogix controller platform as the full blown TurboLogix and comes standard with an internally mounted control power transformer, oil heater contactor and auxiliary oil pump starter. The TXAS offers scope and pricing that make it comparable to typical OEM offerings and 3rd party supplier stock panels. TXAS is available in two to five stage configurations for any manufacturer’s centrifugal compressor. This panel is an especially attractive offering for customer looking to upgrade their early generation electronic control panels to something modern, maintainable and expandable.
