I recently had a chat conversation
with a customer who was looking to cool the tooling on his CNC router, mill
and lathe in his small machine shop. During the machining process, as the
tooling would begin to heat up, it would warp the bit, causing irregularities
in the finished product. In some cases the tooling was getting so hot, it
would actually break, creating a safety concern.
He had reviewed some of our cooling products and was thinking
of using our Cold Gun in the application but was
concerned with the air demand. The Cold Gun
consumes 15 SCFM @ 100 PSIG and provides a 50°F temperature drop (from supply
temperature) with 1,000 Btu/hr. of cooling capacity. The problem was that his
compressor only produces a little over 9 SCFM. I explained that the existing
compressor would in fact be undersized as it doesn't produce enough
volume to keep up with the demand of the Cold Gun.
Due to the limited amount of compressed air available, our Mini
Cooler System, Model # 3808, would be the better solution. The
Mini
Cooler also provides a 50°F temperature drop with a little
less cooling power, 550 Btu/hr., but this system only requires 8 SCFM @
100 PSIG, falling within the existing compressor's output capacity. The Mini
Cooler also includes a magnetic base as well as flexible
tubing to direct the cold air to the desired location, making it easy to move
from machine to machine.
If you are considering an EXAIR product
for an application or have additional questions about performance, contact
an application engineer for assistance in making the best selection.
