Upcoming Event: Fall 2024 Webinar – Adding Capacity Back In

If you have been around our blog for any length of time, you may see that we tend to do these things called webinars. I’m sure you have even attended a few webinars over your professional career. Well, this is my shameless plug for you to register for the one I am presenting.

I’ve always been a person who has leaned into continually improving. I struggle with this from time to time. However, improvements don’t always come in the form of losing half the weight you need to within a month or a radical change in how you structure your day. Bettering yourself, to me, can more often than not mean a 5mm change. Why did I choose 5mm? I don’t know. Actually, it was due to a sermon I heard years ago and felt as though it was directed at me.

See the thing is, these very small changes that you may not notice so much day to day add up over time. Just like compressed air leaks, inefficient blow offs and artificial demand. That’s why I have put together this webinar. CCASS holders can utilize it for a continuing education credit, and others can use it as their 5mm change for the day, week, month, or year.

This event won’t be an infomercial for just EXAIR products. Instead, there will be a block of time when I try to explain where these compressed air costs come from and then methods that can result in a much bigger change than a 5mm change in the amount of money spent on compressed air.

Please follow the link and register, even more importantly, show up on October 24th, 2024 and listen to my spiel.

Video Demonstration of Compounding Sound Levels

In industrial settings, having a single air nozzle or other blowoff product is often not the scenario that is seen.  Many applications require multiple points of blowoff, even if not in the same direction or for the same position within the machine.  In the scenario where multiple nozzles are used, sound levels can get tricky to calculate and is often thought of as a mystery.  If you follow our blog then you may have seen this excellent blog that shows all the math behind calculating the total decibels when multiple sources of noise will be present. The video below gives a demonstration of utilizing two of the EXAIR model 1100 – 1/4″ FNPT Super Air Nozzle.

In the video you see a model 1100 being operated and producing a sound level of 74 dBA from 3′ away from the nozzle point.  When the second nozzle is turned on (also producing 74 dBA individually), the pressure is adjusted back up to the same input pressure and the sound level meter registers 78 dBA from 3′ away.  Following the math laid out in the “excellent blog” link above, the sound level calculated comes out to be the same 78 dBA that is shown in the video using EXAIR’s Digital Sound Level Meter.

If you would like help determining the sound levels within your facility, check out the EXAIR Digital Sound Level Meter as well as reach out to an Application Engineer.
