FAQ

  • Will EXAIR Corporation Cabinet Coolers cause condensation inside our control panels?

    No, the cold air produced by a Cabinet Cooler and introduced into an enclosure expands to atmospheric pressure and warms to enclosure temperature. Only if humidity from ambient air is allowed into the panel is there potential for condensation. Therefore it is imperative that all louvers and other openings are closed off.

    On initial startup, the cooler will purge out the warm, moist air inside the panel. As the cool air generated from the Cabinet Cooler enters the panel it begins to pick up heat and the relative humidity drops. A continuously operating Cabinet Cooler will stabilize the relative humidity at approximately 45%. EXAIR also recommends using a 5 micron filter separator to remove any condensate from the airline.

  • What is the difference between the 5200 and 5300 series Cold Gun Systems?

    The 5200 and 5300 series utilize the same cold air producing Vortex Tube. The only difference is the hose kit that is included with each model. Models 5215 and 5230 are shipped with a single-point hose kit. Models 5315 and 5330 are shipped with a dual-point hose kit to provide chilled air to two points instead of one.

  • Can I connect the USB Data Logger to the Summing Remote Display?

    No, there are no connections on the Summing Remote Display, the USB Data Logger must be directly connected to the Digital Flowmeter.

  • Can the ETC be used with other products besides your Cabinet Coolers?

    Maybe. The ETC was designed specifically to control EXAIR Cabinet Coolers, and the temperature range is limited as shown in question #1 to a range that is appropriate for the application. The ETC could be used in conjunction with an EXAIR Vortex Tube provided that the temperature required for your application fell within the  80°F to 120°F (approximately 27°C to 49°C) range of the ETC. Please contact an Application Engineer to discuss your application requirements.

  • I already purchased an EXAIR product kit, which included a filter separator.  Will this filter work for an additional product?

    Yes, as long as the flow requirement does not exceed the capacity of the filter separator. If you are unsure about the capacity of your filter separator, contact an Application Engineer.

  • What fluid was used to determine the flow rates given in the catalog information?

    Published performance data was obtained by testing the Atomizing Nozzles with ordinary tap water. The viscosity of your fluid will determine which style Atomizing Nozzle will be best for you. Please feel free to contact an Application Engineer for selection assistance.

  • Where should I position your Line Vac in my conveying system?

    Generally the Line Vac should be placed within 3 feet (or closer) of the suction point. It is always easier to blow material through a hose or pipe than it is to vacuum it through. Keep in mind, this is a guideline. If it is not possible to get the Line Vac that close, then place it as close as reasonably possible to the suction point.

  • Can I buy a Reversible Drum Vac with a longer hose?

    Yes, the Reversible Drum Vac can be purchased with a longer hose. Standard vacuum hoses can be purchased in 10' and 20' lengths. Other custom lengths of PVC hose are available by special order. Note: The Reversible Drum Vac is designed for use with a 10' hose. Longer hose lengths may affect performance depending upon the application.

  • At what pressure should I operate the Super Air Wipe?

    The maximum pressure of the Super Air Wipe is 250 PSIG. We recommend using the lowest pressure possible for the application. Always use a pressure regulator on the compressed air supply and increase pressure to the point where the application problem is solved.

  • Do the Super Blast and TurboBlast Safety Air Guns have a "dead man’s valve"?

    Yes, they have a spring loaded valve which will close if the operator lets go of the gun.

  • We removed the static charge with your ionizer, but it keeps coming back. Why?

    The ionizer showers the product’s surface with positive and negative ions so the charge is completely eliminated. If that part or material experiences friction where it rubs against another surface, a new charge can be induced.

  • What makes the Stay Set Hose different from other competitive hoses?

    EXAIR Stay Set Hoses are superior to ordinary "fixed-position" hoses because of their ability to maintain their position during use, even at higher operating pressures.

  • Can I operate your air knives with a blower?

    No, blowers are not a source of air for Air Knives. Air Knives are designed to use compressed air. Blowers are large, expensive and noisy with 3" to 6" outlet connections. They do not produce enough pressure to operate an EXAIR Air Knife.

  • How much ducting can I attach to an Air Amplifier?

    We recommend a maximum of 15' of duct on the positive pressure side of an Air Amplifier and a maximum of 5' of duct on the intake side of an Air Amplifier.

  • What is the difference between the Model 3825 and Model 3925 Adjustable Spot Cooler Systems?

    Model 3825 and 3925 utilize the same cold air producing Vortex Tube. The only difference is the hose kit that is included with each model. Model 3825 is shipped with a single-point hose kit. Model 3925 is shipped with a dual-point hose kit to provide chilled air to two points instead of one.

  • Can I mount EXAIR’s Cabinet Coolers to the side of our enclosure?

    Yes, UL listed NEMA 12 models can be mounted in any orientation (horizontal, diagonal, etc…) but you can save some space by using our 90 degree mounting kit and position the Cabinet Cooler vertically. NEMA 4/4X models must be in the vertical orientation to maintain their UL listed NEMA integrity. The 90 degree mounting kits make side mount installation simple, clean and effective.

  • Can I pulse/cycle the compressed air to your products?

    Yes, EXAIR is committed to the more efficient use of compressed air and recommends limiting the use of compressed air for only the duration it is required to perform a specific function.

    Cycling is efficient because EXAIR product’s effects are virtually instantaneous. Cycling will reduce overall air use for more cost effective operation. With the use of an EXAIR Electronic Flow Control (EFC), you can control the flow of air with any one of the 16 programmable modes.
