Zaun (AITAH Arcane AU Mood board)

The City of Iron and Glass, and revitalisation

Seventy years ago, Zaun, still going by the moniker of the Undercity, was in a constant state of desperation.

The mining colony turned city, was no stranger to hardships. From unsafe mining conditions to unsafe working conditions within the factories jammed packed within the city, to unsafe living conditions due to poor maintenance to residental structure and over pollution brought on my the factories and the toxic gases from the deep mines being compressed within the underground city.

All of this was due to the conscious negligence of Piltover. Whose one and only concern was image and wealth. To them Zaun was an eyesore but they refused to acknowledge that this was due to them.

They preferred the image of being righteous and a city of academics and kept their well-shoed foot to Zaun's throat by unleashing their Enforcers upon them who dealt their "justice" in brutal fashion.

This continuous abuse and oppression had to come to an abrupt end, however.

In 1954 Piltover and its Enforcers had stepped on Zaun and Janna's (Goddess of the Wind) final nerve.

When during an arrest of a factory worker voicing his outrage for being unfairly fired, an officer took liberation to bludgeon a 12-year-old girl who had stepped in to beg her father's release before shooting dead the distraught father.

In this moment something snapped within the people witnessing the scene and every Zaun citizen present attacked the Enforcers without conern for their own lives. This attack would go on to inspire more within the city to take up arms and riots broke out everywhere, with the intention to put as many Enforcers down.

Janna tried to protect as many innocent lives caught in the crossfire as she could, but the death toll was climbing with her people dying in droves.

When Piltover took to trying to blow the bridges and starve the residents in Zaun, Janna had reached her limit and decided something more drastic had to be done.

For a month, the Goddess of Wisdom and Harmony became an unyielding and unrelenting, furious storm.

She took the fight straight to Piltover and wrecked havoc upon the city. Gleaming, unblemished structures that reached to the sky came crumbling down as if they were sandcastles within the oceans reach.

She dispersed her followers to ransack the city of the progress of food, clean water, and medicine. And kept the Enforcers secluded to Zaun, without backup and provisions and many beaten Zaunites looking for their own pound of flesh.

After a month of nonstop terror from the Goddess and many injured and homeless within Piltover, its Council flew up a white flag and begged for an audience.

Upon the Bridge of Progress, Janna stood mighty, if not unproud of her destruction, and yet resolute in her decision. She was done watching the mindless cruelty and violence to her people and would be ruling over them from then on.

An accord was struck that day.

Zaun would be its own nation from then on, and Piltover would pay compensation to the people for their negligence, in the form of money, technology, healthcare, and education.

An accord, that Piltover had no other choice but to agree to.

And this is how we come to Zaun today, under Janna's rule.

A city crushed by oppression and poverty, now turned metropolis of renewed vigor and spirit.

Zaun has transformed within the past seventy years into a technological paradise, built of off science and magic.

Its once toxic air has been dissipated by the trees that now grow within and upon every building, sustained by the HexTech-empowered artificial sun bolted to the cavern ceiling, and scheduled rainy days using the sprinkler system stretched out throughout the city. Water filtration has drastically improved drinkable water, and botany has become an essential subject in every school.

Zaun is now the cultural hotspot in Runeterra, with many coming from all over the world to visit or call Zaun its home.

You'll now find many cultures thriving within the city, as well as old structures standing proud against the tides of time.

One such building is a bar/pub called The Last Drop.

Religions of all caliber operate in Zaun, but none hold a candle to the temples of the Wind Goddess.

Mages with elemental talent, are often in high demand as they assist in the evironmental stability of the city.

And although Enforcers do still operate within the city, their presence holds neither respect nor true authority. Many Zaunites will opt to seek the services of private security firms, such as The Eye Of Zaun or the newly formed Firelights flying through the city on their chem tech-powered hoverboards; invented by 15-year-old Ekko Bennet in 2015, making him one of Zaun's first adolescent millionaires.

However, Enforcers have been reported to tiptoe on the boundaries of the two cities accordance.

With reports of Zaun civilians being killed just on the outskirts of the city, and more than a few being assaulted and/or killed within back alleys of Zaun. It is not difficult to discern what is happening.

The Enforcers are either trying to return to their old ways, or someone is looking to profit of off a potential war.

Either way, Zaun will be ready for what comes at it.

It vows to not wait for their gentle Goddess to bloody her hands again for them, they are the warriors who built this town.

I see a lot of people sharing recommendations for making this kind of DIY air filtration system. Since I have been using one of these for several years now, I have some practical comments and caveats:

Their useful lifespan is relatively short. A set of filters is good for maybe 60 to 90 days before it becomes so soiled as to be counterproductive, probably less if you have furry pets.

What the filters pull out of the air is deposited on their surface. You'll want to be careful not to touch the filters and keep kids and pets away from them. If possible, you should also put the unit on some stand or surface you can easily clean.

Removing and replacing the filters is nasty. The outer layers of the filters get filthy, and removing the filters involves using a utility knife to slash the tape holding the thing together, which will dislodge big clouds of crap. This needs to be done outside if at all possible. You'll want to wear a respirator and disposable gloves, and old clothes you can immediately launder (or bag and dispose).

You'll need to clean the box fan itself when changing filters. You'll want a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the fan motor, and should clean the blades, grilles, and frame as best you can before replacing the filters.

High PFR furnace filters aren't cheap. At a typical big box store, two high-PFR filters of adequate size will cost you at least $35 to $40 USD. You can bring down the per-filter cost by ordering in bulk online, but that costs more upfront.

These units may not be practical for physically disabled people. If the prospect of picking up and (gingerly) carrying the complete unit is physically daunting, if you have limited fine motor skills, or if you have no way to carry the unit outside to change the filters, this is probably not a good option.

If you need a short-term air filtration solution, such as when there's a lot of wildfire ash in the air, these kinds of filters are relatively cheap and work well if you do a reasonably conscientious job of assembling them and changing soiled filters. However, over longer periods, their cost advantage relative to a HEPA filter air purifier begins to erode because the filters are more expensive and shorter-lived.

A HEPA filter air purifier costs significantly more upfront, and where the air quality is bad, they may be in short supply. However, they're much easier, and usually cheaper, to maintain. Generally, they have a "pre-filter" to catch dust and lint, reducing the load on the HEPA filter(s) so that the latter's useful life is close to a year. (The pre-filter needs to be changed about every three months.) Furthermore, the filters are internal, so you aren't likely to touch them or dislodge their contents except when changing filters, which usually involves just popping them out into a plastic garbage bag and wiping down the interior with a microfiber cloth before replacing them. That can still be a little gross, but it's nothing like the filth and effort of having to gingerly carry the complete unit outside and tearing it apart.

Filter Separator vs. Coalescing Filters: Key Differences and Industrial Applications

In today's high-performance industrial environments, maintaining clean gas and liquid streams is essential. Choosing the right filtration system directly impacts plant safety, process efficiency, and equipment longevity. Among the most trusted technologies are filter separators and coalescing filters. Though often used interchangeably, these systems have distinct functions and benefits. In this blog, we break down the key differences between them and highlight how Sungov Engineering provides tailored solutions for both.

What is a Filter Separator?

A filter separator is a dual-stage filtration device designed to remove both solid and liquid contaminants from gas or liquid flows. In the first stage, solid particles are captured through replaceable filter elements. In the second stage, liquid aerosols are separated using vane packs or demisters. These separators are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power industries.

Filter separators are known for their robust design and ability to function effectively in high-pressure systems. They offer a long service life and consistent performance, making them a preferred choice for applications that demand a combination of solid and liquid contaminant removal.

What is a Coalescing Filter?

Coalescing filters focus on the efficient removal of fine liquid droplets from a gas stream. They work by forcing tiny liquid aerosols to merge into larger droplets (coalescence), which are then collected and drained. This technology is vital in applications such as natural gas processing, air compression systems, and chemical production, where even trace levels of oil or water can compromise equipment.

Unlike filter separators, coalescing filters are highly specialized and deliver superior efficiency for submicron-level liquid filtration. Their compact design also makes them suitable for installations with limited space.

Key Differences Between Filter Separators and Coalescing Filters

Filtration Mechanism:

Filter separators use a combination of mechanical filtration and gravitational separation.

Coalescing filters rely on media that encourage droplets to merge and drain.

Contaminant Type:

Filter separators remove both solid particles and liquids.

Coalescing filters target fine liquid aerosols and vapors.

Design and Configuration:

Filter separators are typically larger and used in high-volume applications.

Coalescing filters are compact and used where space and high precision are critical.

Efficiency:

Coalescing filters provide higher efficiency for mist and aerosol removal.

Filter separators offer versatility for mixed contaminants.

The Unseen Workhorse: How Compressor Felt Drives Efficiency and Longevity

In the industrial world, air and gas compressors are indispensable machines, powering everything from manufacturing lines and pneumatic tools to refrigeration systems and medical equipment. They are the lungs of many operations, converting power into compressed air or gas. But lurking within these robust machines, often unnoticed, is a critical component that ensures their smooth, efficient, and long-lasting operation: Compressor Felt.

Far from being a mere piece of fabric, compressor felt is a highly engineered nonwoven material, specifically designed to perform vital functions such as filtration, sealing, sound dampening, and absorption. Its quality directly impacts the performance, lifespan, and maintenance costs of your valuable compressor systems.

At PARKNONWOVEN, with our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Gurugram, Haryana, India, we are a leading producer of high-quality nonwoven felts, precisely engineered to meet the demanding requirements of various compressor applications.

The Unsung Workhorse: What is Compressor Felt?

Compressor felt refers to specialized nonwoven felt materials that are integrated into various parts of air and gas compressors. Unlike woven fabrics, felt is produced by mechanically or thermally interlocking fibers into a dense, matted structure. This unique construction provides specific properties essential for compressor functionality.

These felts are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they are meticulously designed based on their intended role within the compressor system, serving as:

Filtration Media: Capturing airborne particulates, oil mist, or moisture.

Sealing Elements: Creating tight seals between components to prevent leaks.

Acoustic Dampeners: Absorbing noise and vibration.

Absorption Pads: Wicking or holding lubricants, or absorbing contaminants.

The precise function of compressor felt is critical for several reasons:

Protecting Internal Components: High-quality filtration felt prevents abrasive particles from entering and damaging sensitive moving parts like pistons, rotors, and valves.

Ensuring Clean Air/Gas Output: For applications requiring pure, uncontaminated air (e.g., medical, food processing, electronics manufacturing), the felt filter ensures that the output is free from dust, oil mist, and other impurities.

Noise Reduction: Compressors can be noisy machines. Felt materials serve as effective acoustic insulation, dampening vibrations and reducing operational noise levels, contributing to a better working environment.

Enhancing Efficiency & Longevity: Proper filtration reduces wear and tear, leading to less friction, lower energy consumption, and significantly extending the overall service life of the compressor.

Preventing Leaks: As gasket material, felt provides a reliable seal under various pressures and temperatures, preventing expensive air or gas loss and maintaining system integrity.

Engineered for Demanding Environments: Key Properties of Effective Compressor Felt

The performance requirements for compressor felt are rigorous, demanding specific material properties:

High Filtration Efficiency: The ability to consistently capture a wide range of particle sizes without excessive pressure drop.

Oil/Moisture Absorption & Retention: For oil mist separation or lubrication wicking, the felt must effectively absorb and hold liquids without degradation.

Excellent Acoustic Dampening: A porous, dense structure that can effectively absorb sound waves and vibrations.

Superior Sealing & Gasketing: The ability to conform to surfaces, withstand compression, and maintain a tight seal under varying temperatures and pressures.

Temperature Resistance: Capable of operating consistently within the compressor's specific temperature range, from ambient intake air to high-temperature compressed gas.

Chemical Compatibility: Resistance to various compressor oils, refrigerants, and atmospheric contaminants encountered during operation.

Durability & Resilience: Withstanding continuous mechanical stress, compression, and airflow without degradation, tearing, or shedding fibers.

Consistent Thickness & Density: Uniformity across the material ensures predictable and reliable performance in critical applications.

The Fabric of Functionality: Materials and Types of Compressor Felt

The choice of fibers and the manufacturing process are crucial for tailoring compressor felt to its specific role. Common materials used include:

Polyester (PET) Felt: A versatile and widely used synthetic fiber known for its strength, durability, good temperature resistance, and chemical compatibility with many compressor oils. It's often needlepunched to achieve desired density and porosity for filtration and dampening.

Polypropylene (PP) Felt: Offers excellent chemical resistance, especially to acids and alkalis, and is often used where moisture absorption is critical or for lower temperature applications.

Blends and Specialty Fibers: For highly specific requirements, blends of synthetic fibers or even natural fibers like wool (known for excellent oil absorption and acoustic properties in certain traditional applications) might be considered, though modern compressors heavily favor engineered synthetics.

The needlepunching process is particularly effective for creating compressor felts, as it allows for precise control over the felt's density, thickness, and porosity, enabling customization for specific filtration or acoustic dampening performance.

Where Felt Makes a Difference: Key Applications within Compressors

Compressor felt finds diverse applications within various types of compressors:

Air Intake Filters: Essential for capturing dust, dirt, and other airborne particulates before they enter the compressor's delicate internal mechanisms.

Oil Separator Elements: In oil-lubricated compressors, felt layers are crucial for separating oil mist from the compressed air/gas stream, ensuring cleaner output.

Gaskets and Seals: Used around flanges, covers, and other mating surfaces to prevent air/gas leaks and maintain system pressure.

Acoustic Insulation & Liners: Applied within compressor enclosures or around noisy components to absorb sound and reduce operational noise levels.

Vibration Dampening Pads: Placed under mounting points or between vibrating components to absorb mechanical vibrations and prevent their transmission.

Lubrication Wicks: In some smaller compressors, felt can be used to wick and distribute lubricants to bearing surfaces.

The Hidden Benefits: Investing in High-Quality Compressor Felt

Choosing the right, high-quality compressor felt offers a cascade of advantages:

Improved Air/Gas Purity: Ensures the compressed medium meets stringent quality standards for various industrial and sensitive applications.

Extended Compressor Lifespan: Reduces wear and tear on expensive internal components, delaying costly repairs and replacements.

Reduced Maintenance Costs: Fewer breakdowns, less frequent filter changes, and longer component life lead to significant savings.

From stringent regulatory standards to changing market demands, pharmaceutical companies must plan and build production facilities that meet global benchmarks without delay. This is where turnkey pharmaceutical projects provide unmatched value. By offering end-to-end solutions, turnkey providers help pharma companies set up, expand, or upgrade manufacturing plants with minimum hassle and maximum compliance. In this detailed guide, learn how turnkey pharmaceutical projects work, what benefits they offer, and why choosing an expert partner for pharma turnkey projects is crucial for business success.

What are Turnkey Pharmaceutical Projects?

In simple terms, a turnkey pharmaceutical project means a complete, ready-to-use facility delivered to the client. The term “turnkey” implies that the client only has to “turn the key” to start production — because every aspect, from design to validation, has been taken care of by the turnkey provider.

A typical turnkey pharmaceutical project covers:

Site master planning

Facility and utility design

Procurement and installation of equipment

Cleanroom design and construction

HVAC and environmental control systems

Process automation and control integration

Qualification and validation

Documentation and regulatory support

Training and handover

Building a pharmaceutical plant involves multiple stakeholders — architects, engineers, equipment vendors, automation experts, validation teams, and regulatory authorities. Managing this complexity is time-consuming and risky.

Turnkey pharmaceutical projects solve this problem by providing a single point of responsibility. Here’s why more pharma companies now opt for turnkey execution:

1. Faster Project Completion: A turnkey provider manages the entire project timeline — from concept to commissioning. This reduces delays caused by coordinating multiple vendors.

2. Cost Control: With a fixed scope and clear deliverables, the client avoids unexpected expenses. Turnkey contracts provide better budget predictability.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Turnkey experts are well-versed in global GMP, WHO, USFDA, and EU standards. They design facilities and processes that pass inspections smoothly.

4. Quality Assurance: Each phase is executed by industry specialists, ensuring high-quality construction, validated equipment, and consistent product safety.

5. Flexibility and Scalability: Turnkey pharmaceutical projects are designed with future expansions in mind, so companies can increase production capacity with minimal disruption.

6. Single Point Accountability: Instead of managing multiple contracts, clients work with one partner who is accountable for quality, cost, and timely delivery.

Key Components of Pharma Turnkey Projects

A well-executed pharma turnkey project involves careful planning and flawless execution of several integrated parts:

Facility Layout:Efficient layouts optimize material flow, minimize contamination risks, and ensure compliance with cGMP standards.

Cleanroom Design and Construction: Cleanrooms are critical for sterile manufacturing. Turnkey providers build ISO-classified cleanrooms with proper HVAC, filtration, and airlocks.

Equipment Selection and Installation: From reactors to packaging lines, turnkey partners source, install, and qualify all equipment suited to the product type.

Utility Systems: Design and integration of water systems (WFI, PW), compressed air, steam, and waste management ensure uninterrupted operations.

Process Automation: Modern pharma plants use automation to monitor processes, reduce human error, and maintain data integrity. Turnkey projects deliver integrated automation solutions.

Validation and Documentation: Proper validation is key for regulatory approval. Turnkey firms perform Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ), along with full documentation.

Choosing the Right Partner for Turnkey Pharmaceutical Projects

Not all turnkey providers are equal. Choosing the right partner can make or break a project. Here’s what to look for:

Experience and Expertise: Check the provider’s track record in handling similar pharma turnkey projects, especially for your type of product (oral solids, injectables, biologics, etc.).

Regulatory Knowledge: A good turnkey partner must know the latest GMP guidelines of USFDA, MHRA, EUGMP, and other global bodies.

Customization: Every project is unique. The partner should offer customized solutions instead of one-size-fits-all layouts.

Integrated Team: Architects, process engineers, validation experts, and automation specialists should work as one team under the same roof.

After-Sales Support: Even after the handover, the provider should offer support for troubleshooting, maintenance, and future upgrades.

By partnering with a trusted turnkey specialist, pharma companies can focus on core operations while experts handle facility creation.

Future Trends in Turnkey Pharmaceutical Projects

As the industry evolves, so do turnkey solutions. Some emerging trends include:

Modular Construction: Pre-fabricated modules reduce onsite construction time and enable faster plant commissioning.

Affordable Air Compressor

The price of an air compressor ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. How to choose an air compressor that suits your needs and is affordable? Today I will give you a detailed introduction on how to choose a cost-effective air compressor.

First, let's review the basic working principle of the air compressor.

It converts the mechanical energy of the prime mover into gas pressure energy, and compresses the air through volume changes or power. It is mainly divided into screw air compressors and piston air compressors.

How to buy an affordable air compressor?

Let's first understand the factors that affect the price of air compressors.

1.Type The common types of air compressors are mainly divided into fixed and mobile types. Stationery air compressors are usually used in factory production workshops or construction sites, etc., and the cost is relatively low; while portable mobile air compressors are more convenient and have more functions, and the cost is relatively high. They are generally used in mining, rock drilling, geological disaster rescue and disaster relief, and remote mountainous areas where the field power supply voltage is unstable.

2. Power The higher the power of the air compressor, the higher the price. Generally speaking, small air compressors below 5HP are cheaper, and industrial air compressors above 10HP are more expensive.

3. Air capacity (CFM and PSI) The air capacity of an air compressor is measured in CFM and PSI. Higher CFM and PSI ratings usually mean that the compressor has greater power and can meet more demanding production requirements. Therefore, compressors with higher CFM and PSI are generally more expensive.

4. Function The price of a 4 in 1 air compressor, which includes drying, cooling, precision filtration, and air storage tanks, will be higher than that of an ordinary air compressor.

Pool Heater Maintenance Tips That Extend Its Lifespan

Understanding the Importance of Pool Heater Care

 A pool heater is a vital component for those who enjoy swimming year-round or during cooler months. It ensures water temperature stays comfortable, enhancing the pool experience significantly. However, like any equipment, it requires routine maintenance to operate efficiently and last for years. Neglecting regular care can lead to unnecessary breakdowns, higher energy costs, and costly replacements. A consistent maintenance routine not only extends the lifespan of a pool heater but also guarantees optimal performance.

Routine Inspection Prevents Costly Repairs

 Inspecting the pool heater regularly helps detect early signs of wear or damage. Check for rust, leaks, unusual noises, or reduced heating efficiency. It’s important to monitor pressure gauges and thermostats for correct readings. Debris, mineral deposits, or clogs can obstruct heater functions, making inspection a preventative measure against major failures. A thorough monthly visual and operational check will reduce long-term expenses and ensure uninterrupted usage.

Clean the Filter and Pump System Regularly

 The filter and pump play crucial roles in supporting the pool heater. When either becomes clogged or dirty, the heater may overwork or shut down. Cleaning the filter basket weekly and backwashing the filtration system as needed keeps water flow optimal. Consistent flow ensures that the heater receives a steady water supply, preventing overheating or mechanical strain. This small habit significantly boosts performance and durability.

Descale and Flush for Mineral Build-Up Control

Pool water often contains calcium and other minerals that accumulate over time, especially in hard water areas. These deposits can coat internal components, reducing efficiency and causing overheating. Flushing the heater at least twice a year removes mineral build-up from heat exchangers and pipes. Using descaling agents safe for pool heaters will ensure parts stay clean and corrosion-free. This simple procedure extends internal component life and enhances overall functionality.

Maintain the Right Water Chemistry Balance

Water chemistry has a direct impact on pool heater longevity. Unbalanced pH levels, high calcium hardness, or improper alkalinity can corrode internal parts, especially heat exchangers made from copper or other metals. Maintain the pool’s pH between 7.2 and 7.8, with calcium hardness between 200-400 ppm. Test the water at least once a week and adjust chemicals accordingly. Balanced water protects the heater and provides a safer swimming environment.

Check the Heater’s Ventilation and Airflow

For gas-powered models, adequate ventilation is critical. Obstructions near vents or exhaust systems can lead to poor combustion or dangerous gas accumulation. Clear leaves, dirt, or debris from surrounding areas and make sure vent pipes are free of blockages. Proper airflow ensures efficient burning and reduces the risk of overheating. For electric models, ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit to allow for heat dissipation.

Winterize the Heater During Off-Season

If the pool heater is not used during the winter, especially in freezing climates, it must be properly winterized to prevent damage. Drain all water from the heater, pipes, and pump to avoid freezing and cracking. Use a shop vacuum or compressed air to clear any residual moisture. Cover the heater with a weather-resistant cover that allows for ventilation but blocks snow and ice. A well-executed winterization process eliminates the risk of seasonal damage.

Schedule Annual Professional Servicing

 While routine maintenance is manageable, an annual inspection by a certified technician is essential. A professional can check gas connections, electrical components, and combustion efficiency more thoroughly. During servicing, all parts are tested and recalibrated to manufacturer specifications. This yearly appointment can identify issues that are not visible during regular homeowner inspections, ensuring peak performance and longevity of the pool heater.

Protect the Heater from Harsh Weather Conditions

 Pool heaters are often installed outdoors, where they’re exposed to rain, sun, and extreme temperatures. Continuous exposure can degrade the outer shell and internal electronics. Installing a ventilated protective enclosure or canopy shields the heater without restricting airflow. This minimizes corrosion, water damage, and UV wear. A protected heater requires less frequent repairs and maintains better aesthetic and functional integrity over time.

Monitor Energy Consumption for Efficiency Clues

Sudden spikes in energy usage could indicate that the pool heater is not functioning efficiently. This could stem from clogged filters, malfunctioning thermostats, or a failing ignition system. Keeping track of monthly energy bills allows early detection of abnormal energy consumption. Addressing these changes promptly helps avoid further mechanical deterioration and energy waste.

Replace Worn Parts Promptly

Over time, components such as pressure switches, ignition modules, or sensors can wear out. Instead of waiting for complete failure, replacing parts as soon as wear is noticed prevents more extensive damage. Using compatible and high-quality replacement parts ensures proper fit and function. Proactive part replacement minimizes downtime and contributes to a longer lifespan for the entire heating system.

Optimize Heating Settings According to Usage

Running the pool heater at maximum settings constantly is not only energy-intensive but can reduce its operating life. Adjusting the temperature based on actual pool usage saves energy and prevents overheating. Lower the heat setting during periods of low use or rely on solar covers to retain warmth. Operating the heater efficiently balances performance and longevity without compromising comfort.

Ensure Proper Installation and Unit Placement

An often-overlooked factor in heater maintenance is its initial installation. Poor placement or incorrect setup can lead to inefficient operation and faster wear. Heaters should be installed on stable ground, with proper drainage and away from heavy foot traffic or vegetation. Clear manufacturer guidelines should be followed to ensure optimal airflow and connectivity. A well-installed unit experiences fewer operational issues and requires less frequent maintenance.

Conclusion: Longevity Through Consistency

Caring for a pool heater does not require complex tasks but demands constant attention. Routine inspections, timely cleaning, proper chemical balance, and protective measures significantly extend the life of this essential equipment. Preventative maintenance ensures efficient heating, reduces energy costs, and avoids unexpected breakdowns. By implementing these strategies, homeowners can enjoy a reliable and long-lasting pool heater season after season.

Making Screw Air Compressors Oil-free

It might be hard to believe but air compressors have been around for thousands of years. The earliest known compressors were bellows, used to blow compressed air into furnaces to stoke up the heat, thereby allowing ancient men to produce stronger and better metals for tools and weapons. >

Following the invention of steam engines, they became a popular method to power air compressors. Subsequently, Internal Combustion (IC) engines began to be used as a power source for operating reciprocating air compressors. Later, as larger industries were established, they demanded more efficient compressors capable of running with minimal maintenance and for longer periods. A rotary air compressor was the answer. Both these types of compressors continued to evolve over time and today, they are both highly efficient and technologically well advanced. Conventional reciprocating air compressors though have certain innate limitations; most notable being that the oil used for lubrication is carried along with the compressed air. Filtering removes much of the oil but not all of it. For example; pre-filters, high efficiency coalescing filters and activated carbon filters remove trapped oil to a great extent.

Oil-free compressed air solutions are used extensively in the pharmaceutical, textile & automotive industries.

But these filters themselves have characteristic limitations. For instance, above 20°C, coalescing filters do not remove fine oil vapours, leaving very fine particles of residual oil in the form of aerosols; and activated carbon filters are not usable at filtration temperatures above 40ºC because the carbon then absorbs the oil vapour, gets saturated, and becomes ineffective. And, filtration itself raises another problem: safe disposal of used filters to avoid environmental contamination. Notwithstanding the environmental issue however, there are several industrial applications that require compressed air that is completely oil-free. Food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive painting, textiles, paper and cosmetics are typical examples. These applications demand wide operating temperatures of 0-45°C, stringent air purity standards higher than ISO 8573-Class I, high levels of safety, eco-friendly operation and some more. Even the most advanced filtration technology falls short of meeting such exceptional standards of air purity.

Plainly, lubricated compressors were not the answer. It required a radically new technology of air compression. Enter oil-free screw air compressors.

ELGi’s Screw Compressors are designed to save energy and ensure long life.

This inventive machine uses no lubricating oil in the compression chamber and hence delivers compressed air with practically no trace of oil. Additionally, because of the continuous sweeping motion of the screws – two meshing helical screws known as rotors, driven by a pair of timing gears – there is very little pulsation or surging of flow, which occurs with piston compressors. Screw compressors thus deliver smooth, pulse-free compressed air. They also tend to be compact and run smoothly with minimal vibration. Since they also employ a more efficient compression system, they not only reduce energy costs but also enable precise adaptation to end-user requirements based on careful study and analysis of their critical processes and customising with a controlled, total compressed air system, thereby also improving productivity.

Despite all its apparent advantages, oil-free screw air compressors continued to face technological and manufacturing challenges, especially pertaining to the problem of overheating due to the absence of lubricating oil in the compressor chamber. Furthermore, despite being oil-free, there was still the need for filtration as hydrocarbons and other contaminants ingested from the ambient air required to be removed prior to the point-of-use. All this began to affect their popularity to some extent. However, this also prompted a new development: oil began to be injected into the compression cavities to not only aid sealing but also provide a cooling sink for the heat of compression.

In this so-called ‘oil-flooded’ rotary screw compressor, the oil was then separated from the compressed air, cooled, filtered and recycled. The injected oil not only helped in lowering the compression temperature but also captured extraneous particulates from the incoming air, thus effectively reducing the particle loading of subsequent air filtration. Having thus overcome the initial problems that oil-free compressors faced, there was a shift from oil-free to oil-flooded compressors, which then gained popularity.

Oil-Free Two Stage: Air-Cooled Model

But the need for a completely oil-free compressor remained. This was felt keenly in industrial applications where even traces of oil in processed air could be disastrous. For instance, even minute particles of oil in precision electronic circuitry or critical semiconductor components can play havoc with electronic gadgets. Lube oil traces in processed food and beverages mean serious health risks. Pharmaceutical applications demand pristine air too. It is the same with paper mills, textiles, high-gloss painting of automobiles and many others. While Western countries had strict regulations governing the purity of air used in such critical applications, Asian countries including India and China had less stringent rules. But it was only a question of time before they too fell in line. And, although industries continued to rely on filtration to get rid of the entrapped oil, complex filtration equipment added to the cost, created air pressure drops and still did not deliver 100% oil-free air. At ELGi, this presented a situation ripe with potential.

Oil-Free Two Stage: Water-Cooled Model

ELGi embarked on developing the oil-free screw air compressor by obviating the need for oil as a medium to carry away the heat of compression. By early 2005, the first prototype was assembled and tested. And by early 2008, a test compressor was commissioned at a user’s facility for validation. Next year five more were commissioned at different locations. These models completed 10,000 hours of validation. Regular sales began by early 2011. Today, ELGi’s in-house oil-free technology with inter-cooler has been validated in demanding industrial applications for over 150,000 cumulative hours.

Inside the ELGi factory

The fully-packaged ELGi-NE series has models with high volumetric efficiency that deliver from 500 to 1800 cfm (cubic feet per minute) and pressures of up to 10 bars (kg/cm2.) Incorporating superior safety norms, these models not only have low energy losses and low air outlet temperatures but are also energy efficient and compact.

They employ two-stage compression with external water jacket inter-cooling, a unique eta-V profile rotor enabling high swept volume, low operating noise and low vibration achieved by combining radial roller bearings and 4-point axially loaded ball bearings. Innovative features like carbon impregnated SS air seals, helical grooved non-contact bronze oil seals and high-performance Visco-seals at suction and discharge rotor ends, an ingenious process of PTFE and PFA (Teflon) dry lubricant coating on carbon steel rotors, an efficient helix-angled timing gear and robustly designed cupro-nickel intercooler and after cooler, heat exchangers offering superior corrosion resistance and finally optimally designed capacity control valves; all ensure not just high efficiency but safety, durability, easy maintenance and low operating cost.

Compression is also very efficient on account of the precise clearances maintained between the helical rotors and the compression chamber, thanks to the unique eta-V profiles designed by ELGi. This rotor design reduces pressure losses and increases stage efficiencies, leading to an overall increase in adiabatic efficiency.

ELGi builds its own rotor milling machines to ensure quality rotors with lowest manufacturing cost.

Only a handful of companies in the world have this design capability. It is to be noted however, that though the machine is termed an oil-free screw compressor, it applies to only the screw chamber that forms the air compression cavity. Oil is nevertheless used in the machine – to lubricate a slew of components like the capacity control valves, air-end bearings, the timing gears and the air-end stage gear. So even though the rotors and the screw chamber do not use any lubricating oil, there is nevertheless an oil circuit comprising the oil pump, cooler, filter and oil sump. Similarly, there is also a water circuit that supplies cooling water to the intercooler, after cooler, and the 1st and 2nd stage air-ends. For ELGi, this development has been a rewarding experience. Industry watchers have it that globally, ELGi is one of only 5 corporate companies to design and manufacture oil-free air-ends.

What Makes Screw Air Compressors the Preferred Choice for Air Experts?

When seeking the optimal air compressor solution for your operations, it's essential to consider various parameters which extend far beyond the upfront cost. The productivity and effectiveness of your material handling systems, spray painting procedures, and diverse machine tools are heavily contingent upon the compressed air system. Consequently, industry experts often advocate for the adoption of screw air compressors for their exceptional efficiency, continuous operational capacity, reduced noise levels, space-saving design, and reliability.

Air compressors can be broadly categorized into two types: reciprocating and rotary screw compressors. Reciprocating compressors use pistons to compress air, while rotary screw compressors utilize rotating elements to generate compressed air. Among them, rotary screw compressors consist of interlocking helical rotors that compress the air as it moves through the compression chamber, allowing for continuous and efficient operation.

Screw Air Compressors

Screw air compressors are known for their efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. They typically use oil for cooling, sealing, and lubrication within the compressor. These compressors consist of two rotors, often referred to as male and female rotors, which have interlocking helical grooves that reduce the volume of air as it passes through the compression chamber. As the rotors rotate, air is drawn into the chamber, trapped between the lobes of the rotors, and compressed as the volume decreases. The injected oil provides cooling and lubrication, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing wear on the components. The compressed air and oil mixture are then separated, with the oil being cooled and recycled, while the compressed air is discharged.

Types of Rotary Screw Air Compressors

There are two main categories of rotary screw air compressors commonly used in businesses and manufacturing:

Oil-free Screw Air Compressors: These compressors operate without the need for oil lubrication. Instead, alternative lubricants such as PTFE, distilled water, or proprietary coatings are used for lubrication and heat dissipation. Oil-free compressors are essential for industries where even the tiniest trace of oil is unacceptable, such as food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and other sensitive sectors.

Oil-lubricated Screw Air Compressors: In oil-lubricated screw compressors, oil is introduced into the compression chamber to facilitate lubrication and efficient heat dissipation. The oil undergoes a separation process from the discharge stream, followed by cooling, filtration, and recycling. These compressors are commonly used in heavy drilling and mining operations, metallurgical processes, mobile tire services, and various other applications that can tolerate minimal traces of oil.

Advantages of Screw Air Compressors

Screw air compressors offer several advantages, making them highly recommended by air experts:

High Efficiency: Compared to reciprocating compressors, screw compressors are known for their high energy efficiency. The continuous compression process reduces energy waste.
