Product Profile of Automatic Gas Purgers
Automatic gas purgers [type SGP-2E] are offered by Manik Engineers for refrigeration plants. These gas purgers have some technical features which include: a built-in heat exchanger connected to the liquid line from the receiver or the pump discharge line on the low pressure side of the refrigeration plant; less energy consumed means less waste fewer emissions and a healthier environment; automatic gas purgers efficiently and automatically help maintaining condensing temperature at nearly optimum operating conditions and reduce the concentration of non-condensable gases to a negligible percentage. Usually plants operating with a suction pressure above the atmospheric pressure are less inclined to collect non-condensable gases than plants operating with an absolute pressure below 1 bar. However, in both categories of plants great quantites of non-condensable gases are often found. one gas purger is recommended at capacities below 500 kW, for ammonia plants with a suction temperature of below -35?C, . For plants with a suction temperature above -35?C one gas purger per 1000 kW is recommended as a minimum. The capacity of the gas purgers will be reduced at high ambient temperatures, so it is recommended to insulate the vessel.
