The Ultimate Guide to Exair Gen4 Ionizing Bars: How They Work and Why Your Industry Needs Them

 In industries where static electricity causes operational disruptions, quality issues, or safety concerns, finding an efficient solution is crucial. Enter Exair Gen4 Ionizing Bars—a powerful and reliable tool for static control. Let’s dive into what makes these bars indispensable for modern industrial environments.

What Are Exair Gen4 Ionizing Bars? 

Exair Gen4 Ionizing Bars are anti-static devices that neutralize static electricity on surfaces. Designed for applications where unwanted static can lead to operational inefficiencies, product contamination, or even safety risks, these bars eliminate the charge by emitting ions that neutralize static buildup.

How Do Exair Gen4 Ionizing Bars Work?

The electromagnetically shielded power cable (1) carries the 5kVrms power supply output to each inductively coupled stainless steel emitter point (2) of the Gen4 Ionizing Bar. An integrated ground wire (3) within the power cable creates a discharge path from the emitter points to the bar channel (4). The discharge at each emitter charges the molecules of the gases of the surrounding room air, resulting in a shower of ions that are positively and negatively charged (5). If the material surface has a negative charge, it will attract the positive ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar and become balanced or neutralized. If the material surface has a positive charge, it will attract the negative ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar to become balanced or neutralized. The voltage potential at each emitter is high enough to ionize the surrounding air without generating a shock when any of the emitters are touched.

How Exair Air Nozzles Save Money and Compressed Air ?

Industrial air nozzles are widely used in India across various industries for applications such as cooling, drying, blowing off debris, and cleaning. But it is really complicated to find out a proper nozzle based on quality and cost.

Now I am going to explain you how you can save Money and Compressed Air if you select EXAIR Engineered Air Nozzles in India.

One of the worst culprits for inefficient air use is open pipe blow-offs. This would include cheap air guns, drilled holes in pipes, and tubes. These are very inefficient for compressed air and can cost you a lot of money.  I will share a comparison to a 1/8” NPT pipe to an EXAIR Mini Super Air Nozzle.  (Reference below).  As you can see, by just adding the EXAIR nozzle to the end of the pipe, the company was able to save per year.  That is some real savings.

The table above shows the air consumption for typical homemade blow offs. The pages that follow give the air consumption and other data on EXAIR's Air Nozzles and Jets. Consider the following example where a Model 1102 Mini Super Air Nozzle replaces an 1/8" open pipe. The compressed air savings is easy to calculate and proves to be dramatic. Payout for Air Nozzles and Jets, including filter and installation cost is measured in weeks - not years, as is the case for other cost reduction equipment. Based on a 40 hour work week, 52 weeks a year.

Example: 

1. Existing blowoff is 1/8" open pipe at 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR) supply. 

Air consumption, from the table above, is 70 SCFM (1,981 SLPM). 

2. Use a 1/8 FNPT Model 1102 Mini Super Air Nozzle also at 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR) supply. Air consumption, from the image below, is 10 SCFM (283 SLPM). 

3. Compressed air saved = 70 - 10 = 60 SCFM (1,981 - 283 =1,698 SLPM) 

4. For this example, the blow off is continuous. If the duty cycle was 20%, then air saved would be 60 x .2 = 12 SCFM (1,698 x .2 = 340 SLPM).

 5. Most large plants know their cost per 1,000 standard cubic feet of compressed air (10,000 standard liters). If you don't know your actual cost per 1,000 SCF, Rs 29 is a reasonable average to use. 

(Cost per 10,000 standard liters is approximately Rs 10 )

 6. Money saved per hour = SCFM saved x 60 minutes x cost/1,000 SCF

                                            (SLPM saved x 60 min x cost/10,000 SL)

                                          = 60 x 60 x Rs 29 /1,000 

                                         (= 1,698 x 60 x Rs 10 /10,000)

                                             =Rs 104/hour that is =Rs 4160/week and Rs 216,320/year savings for one nozzle.

Now please Let me answer and explain  to a very common question, we are asked during presentation of Exair's Air Nozzles that Why Exair Air nozzles consume less compressed air. 

Well, we will discuss the working principle of Exair Air Nozzles and which is of course the realistic answer.

Air Nozzles use the Coanda effect to amplify compressed airflow up to 25 times or more. As illustrated on top, compressed air (black arrows) is ejected through a series of nozzles on the outer perimeter. As the air travels along the outer wall of the nozzle, surrounding air (blue arrows) is entrained into the stream. The airstream that results is a high volume, high velocity blast of air at minimal consumption. The air is always ejected so it can vent safely, well below OSHA dead end pressure requirements, should the nozzle end be blocked.

Exair Cabinet Cooler Systems

 Exair(USA)  offers a variety of Cabinet Cooler Systems designed to keep electrical enclosures cool by using compressed air to provide a low-cost and reliable solution. Here are some types of Cabinet Coolers that Exair offers:

1. NEMA 12 Cabinet Coolers: Designed for industrial environments where no liquids or corrosives are present, these coolers provide a reliable and low-cost way to cool electrical enclosures. They are dust-tight and oil-tight. 

1. NEMA 4 Cabinet Coolers: These are used in wet, damp, and/or corrosive environments. They offer the same cooling power as the NEMA 12 models but are more robust against moisture and contaminants. They are dust-tight, oil-tight, splash resistant, indoor/outdoor service incorporate a low pressure relief valve for both the vortex tube and cabinet air exhaust. This valve closes and seals when the cooler is not operating to maintain the integrity of a NEMA 4 enclosure.

   
   
   

2. NEMA 4X Cabinet Coolers: Offer the same protection as NEMA 4, but ideal for corrosive or washdown environments, such as food processing  and corrosive environments. They are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion.

   

3. High Temperature Cabinet Coolers: For ambient temperatures of 125° to 200°F (52° to 93°C) are available. Internal components can withstand high temperatures (like those near furnaces, ovens, etc.).They are suitable for locations with high ambient heat.

   
   
   

4. Non-Hazardous Purge Cabinet Coolers: are ideal for dirty areas where contaminants might normally pass through small holes or conduits. Under normal conditions, the NHP Cabinet Cooler Systems provide a slight positive pressure in the enclosure by passing 1 SCFM (28 SLPM) of air through the cooler, when the solenoid valve is in the closed position. When the thermostat detects high temperature, it energizes the solenoid valve to pass full line pressure and volume of compressed air to the Cabinet Cooler, giving it full cooling capability

   
   
   

5. Hazardous Location Cabinet Coolers: Hazardous Location NEMA 4 (IP66) Cabinet Coolers are engineered and approved for use upon purged electrical enclosures found within classified areas. The areas approved are Class I Div 1, Groups A, B, C and D; Class II Div 1 Groups E, F and G; and Class III.
