REDLINE® gas supply panels are used in central gas supply systems to reduce the high primary pressure in the cylinders to more manageable secondary pressure. Considered the heart of a central gas supply system, they work with Point of use equipment to provide stable gas pressure at each work station.
REDLINE offers three types of gas supply panels:
1. Single panels handle one cylinder or bundle at a time. When the cylinder/bundle is empty it has to be changed.
2. Double panels handle two cylinders or bundles (or a combination) at a time. When the cylinder or bundle is empty, switch-over has to be done manually.
3. Semi-automatic panels handle two cylinders/bundles at a time.When the pressure at one side (the primary side) reaches a pre-set value the manifold “switches” to the other side. This means that it is possible to change the gas cylinders without interrupting the gas flow. After the cylinders at the primary side are changed the handle is turned, thus changing the secondary side (delivering the gas) to the new primary side.
When the pressure at one side (the primary side) reaches a pre-set value the manifold “switches” to the other side. This means that it is possible to change the gas cylinders without interrupting the gas flow. After the cylinders at the primary side are changed the handle is turned, thus changing the secondary side (delivering the gas) to the new primary side.
It is possible to create a fully automatic manifold, with either electric or pneumatic valves, but since the cylinders have to be changed anyway the cost is rarely justified.
