EXAIR: Removing Concerns for OEMs. 

Published on by John BallLeave a comment

Are you an OEM?  Some of the largest concerns for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are supply chain interruptions, quality issues, confidence in suppliers, and pricing.  In today’s market, changes occur frequently, and you need to rely on a supplier that can meet those changes.  With pneumatic blow-offs, static elimination, atomizing nozzles, pneumatic conveying, and electrical panel cooling, EXAIR can be that supplier for you. 

Since the establishment of EXAIR in 1983, customer satisfaction, quality, and quick turnaround have always been the cornerstone of our business model.   And with this type of business model, our company continues to grow each year.  Now EXAIR is recognized as a brand of excellence worldwide.  With thousands of products in stock, we are able to ship with over a 99.9% on-time delivery.  EXAIR offers free expert technical advice and shares solutions to pneumatic issues through EXAIR Blogs, application library, and social media. You can watch a quick video about EXAIR below.

Many companies are global and have plants and facilities throughout the world.  If details like cost savings, safety, increased productivity, problem-solving, and energy efficiency were shared with affiliates, it would be very beneficial for everyone.  It can help to grow profits, protect employees, improve throughput, and save energy, which will help to protect the environment.  Since EXAIR is a leader in these areas of compressed air products, we can help you and your partners with pneumatic solutions. EXAIR sells direct in the USA, and we have over 50 distributors located throughout the rest of the world.  If we do not have a distributor in your area, EXAIR does have an International Department that can assist you directly. 

Why would you rely on lesser component parts that could affect your brand?  This could be due to late deliveries, quality problems, and/or issues in the field.  EXAIR can save you and your customers that headache.  If you or your affiliates use compressed air to cool, dry, clean, convey, vacuum, or remove static electricity, EXAIR can improve these processes.  With our large inventory, technical support, and quality design, we can accommodate the excellence that you expect from your supplier.  You can contact us by phone at 800-903-9247, Chat, or email Application Engineers.  We will be happy to assist you.

Battling Heat Transfer

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

If you haven’t read many of my blogs then this may be a surprise. I like to use videos to embellish the typed word. I find this is an effective way and often gives better understanding when available.  Today’s discussion is nothing short of benefiting from a video.

We’ve shared before that there are three types of heat transfer, more if you go into sub-categories of each. These types are Convection,  Conduction, and Radiation. If you want a better understanding of those, feel free to check out Russ Bowman’s blog here.  Thanks to the US Navy’s nuclear power school, he is definitely one of the heat transfer experts at EXAIR.  If you are a visual learner like myself, check out the video below.

The Application Engineering team at EXAIR handles any call where customers may not understand what EXAIR product is best suited for their application. A good number of these applications revolve around cooling down a part, area, electrical cabinet, or preventing heat from entering those areas.  Understanding what type of heat transfer we are going to be combating is often helpful for us to best select an engineered solution for your needs.

Other variables that are helpful to know are:

Part / cabinet dimensions
Material of construction
External ambient temperature
If a cabinet, the internal air temperature
Maximum ambient temperature
Desired temperature
Amount of time available
Area to work with / installation area

Understanding several of these variables will often help us determine if we need to look more towards a spot cooler that is based on the vortex tube or if we can use the entrained ambient air to help mitigate the heat transfer you are seeing.

If you would like to discuss cooling your part, electrical cabinet, or processes, EXAIR is available. Or if you want help trying to determine the best product for your process contact us.
