At the recent Air-Tech exhibition at the N.E.C Birmingham, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES gave a presentation in the seminar area entitled “open end to atmosphere”. This presentation was an advice about the issues of having an air supply at say 7 bar (g) venting down to atmosphere without doing any useful work or work that cannot be done more economically or safely by another medium. An example of this would be the use of blow guns to clean machinery down at the end of a production period i.e. could be three times per day. This practice was widespread and was wasteful in that the dirt/dust would resettle, the pressure was not often regulated and it is a potentially dangerous practice particularly if the operative has an open sore then compressed air can be potentially lethal. There is a simple answer, use a vacuum attachment to the airline or a “venturi” assisted type which increases the flow at reduced pressure.

An expansion of the TORNADO series is now doing justice to the increasing industrial demand for high-efficiency gas boosters: Building on the tried-and-tested WP 3215 and WP 4325 and after a year of field research, we now present the new WP 3325 B3–5.
They make a considerable contribution to safe operation: Safety valves have to defy high temperatures, pressure fluctuations and vibrations while reacting precisely – requirements that mass-produced valves often do not satisfy sufficiently. 
Starting air compressors are only a small part of a new ship, but one that is all the more important during operation. For this reason, it is necessary that their most recent specifications are already available to shipyards when ordering. Otherwise, operators may face some disadvantages: inadequate operation, high maintenance costs, low machine availability and many more. 
Applying the new concept of intensive use, the most state-of-the-art ship in the German Navy is currently in development: the F125-class frigate.
Helium has the lowest boiling point of all gases at -269 °C. As a result, liquid helium is frequently used as a cooling medium. This is the case at the Jülich Research Centre (FZJ). “Nowadays we mainly use liquid helium for cooling superconductors in computer tomographs, for example for brain research and biotechnology”, says Ulrich Sieberichs, supervisor in the supply department for cryogenic gases at the FZJ. 
Natural gas vehicles in the passing lane? Sauer is launching three models from the HURRICANE series, variant BasSealB CNG, for natural gas and biomethane: WP 4331, WP 4341 and WP 4351.
