Mini-Demister Separates Liquid-Vapour Mixtures


The Phymetrix Mini-Demister separates liquid-vapour mixtures in portable gas analysers, so that they do not compromise sensitive analyser components. Suitable for SF6 moisture-measurement oil-carryover separation, it fits on top of the Phymetrix PPMa hand-held moisture analyser. The Mini-Demister allows liquids to settle to the bottom of the separator under force of gravity, where they are drained out through a metering valve.

The sample travels through the container tube at a low velocity, minimising the entrainment of any liquid droplets in the gas as it exits near the top of the separator and flows down into the analyser. The glass container tube affords the operator a 360deg view of the accumulated liquid. Adjusting the drain-metering valve optimises the liquid removal with minimum waste of sample gas. The product is miniaturised (1 x 3.65in) to allow connecting directly on top of a small, hand-held analyser, such as the Phymetrix PPMa, as well as other manufacturer's gas analysers.

It has an Axial in-line construction with the inlet positioned on top and the outlet on the bottom. The rotatable drain valve and port can be positioned as needed. The outlet to the analyser has a built-in facility for an optional flow-control pressure-drop orifice. The instrument has a stainless-steel housing, Viton seals and a glass container tube that provides the seal integrity necessary for demanding measurements such as low levels of moisture. The Mini-Demister is easy to disassemble and clean if needed.

The glass tube is rated for 150psi and has an outer impact-resistant, protective, clear-plastic shield that prevents nicks and scratches in the field. A variety of inlet and outlet port-fitting types are available, for example NPT, SAE straight-thread with o-ring seals and swageable tube. The liquid is visible, drains out in a controlled fashion and does not accumulate in absorbent materials to outgas when the analyser is used in other measurements. There are no hygroscopic materials employed.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
