Chrysalis® II Hydrogen Generators clearly out perform all other gas generators that use caustic solutions to generate hydrogen. The benefits of utilizing electrolytic membrane hydrogen production in the laboratory are significant. Impurities in caustic solutions can affect the purity of hydrogen product and they can cause premature system degradation over time. Membrane separation is also less time consuming, because routine maintenance means "just add water." There is no need to store caustic compounds/solutions or to perform time-consuming cell.

About Matheson Tri-Gas:

In 1926 Matheson Gas Products became the first company to offer a reliable source of high quality scientific gases and equipment. From the start, Matheson asserted its leadership by understanding specialty gas applications and providing products specially designed for these applications. Some of Matheson's more notable accomplishments include the development of the lecture bottle, now used by virtually every major college and university in the world, and the supply of ultra pure gases that served as standards for the first gas chromatographs.

Customers in the semiconductor, analytical and industrial businesses depend on the reliable supply of high-purity process gases and gas handling equipment to maintain efficient production. In response to this need, Matheson Tri-Gas offers innovative application-specific solutions.

Caterpillar Inc. announces the introduction of two G3520C natural gas generator sets now available with optional air and fuel system controls that have been enhanced to provide superior island mode operational capability. Designed for commercial and institutional customers that require exceptionally reliable, high-quality electric power, the island mode control system option for the G3520C gas generator sets, offered in 60 Hz and 50 Hz versions, allows customers to generate power independently from the power grid with a highefficiency, natural gas-fueled engine.

"Distributed generation is widely recognized as one effective way to use energy more efficiently, but in many applications which can only withstand limited deviations in frequency and voltage during loading, unloading and load fluctuation, the transient response capability and the steady state stability become critical," said Rob Schueffner, Marketing Manager in Caterpillar's Electric Power Division. "The introduction of the G3520C gas generator set with the island mode feature fills a critical need while contributing to the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by creating more opportunities for gas generator sets in distributed generation applications."

The Cat® natural gas generator sets with the island mode feature tackle the major barriers for distributed generation in stand-alone applications where a utility grid connection is unavailable or the utility grid is not stable. The improved transient capability also supports the use of low-emission gas generator sets in standby power applications, providing customers with more clean energy options for their electric power supply solutions. Driven by an electronically controlled, lean-burn gaseous-fueled reciprocating Cat engine, the G3520C generator set was designed to offer a high power density and excellent fuel efficiency while maintaining tight NOx control. It provides the flexibility to operate on pipeline natural gas with a wide range of Caterpillar Methane Numbers (MN) and delivers an industry-leading ISO electrical efficiency of up to 38.4 percent at 60 Hz and up to 40.4 percent at 50 Hz – even with the use of two engine-driven water pumps.

The Cat G3520C generator set operates at 60 Hz/1800 rpm with a continuous rating of 2055 ekW, or at 50 Hz/1500 rpm with a continuous rating of 1966 ekW. It has a standard NOx emissions rating of 1g/bhp-hr at 60 Hz and 500mg/NM3 at 50 Hz, with performance of 0.5g/bhphr at 60 Hz and 250mg/NM3 at 50 Hz available through a 54° C separate circuit aftercooler (SCAC) system that can be used with a conventional cooling system arrangement in almost all geographic locations. The G3520C is built on a heavy-duty, diesel-based, bottom-end platform for superior durability with a unique top-end design for gas application optimization. It also features an open combustion chamber design capable of operating at pressures as low as 1.5 psi (10.3 kPa).

Standard on the G3520C generator set is a digital microprocessor Gas Engine Control Module, which automatically and precisely regulates ignition, engine governing and air-to-fuel ratio for optimum fuel economy. Its patent pending, technologically-advanced air-to-fuel ratio control monitors charge air density and maintains stringent NOx control under a variety of ambient and load conditions. The G3520C generator set features an individual-cylinder detonation sensing and timing control, with a prechamber-type spark plug design for extended service life without adjustment.

The Cat® G3520C generator set is easily tailored to specific applications with a wide selection of Cat SR4B generators and generator set attachments, including oversized generators. Additional features include exhaust options, circuit breakers, alarm and remote annunciator modules, and battery chargers.

For the generation of vacuum different kind of generators can be used. They all have specific advantages and the correct selection is very important for the entire vacuum system!

The necessary vacuum can be generated with vacuum generators of various types.

The following three basic types are available:

Each type has its own specific advantages, but they have one thing in common: a high suction capacity at a high vacuum always means high power consumption and high operating costs.

Vacuum ejectors


Functional principle:

Ejectors are purely pneumatic vacuum generators which operate on the Venturi principle. Compressed-air enters the ejector at A and flows through the nozzle B. This results in a low pressure (vacuum) immediately behind the nozzle outlet, and air is drawn in through the vacuum inlet D. This air, and the driving air, leaves the ejector via the silencer C.

Advantages of ejectors:

• No moving parts, therefore little maintenance and wear
• Compact construction
• No heat
• Very low weight
• Fast generation of vacuum
• Suitable for installation in any orientation

Typical application areas:

Industrial-robot applications in all sectors of industry as well as feeder for presses in the automotive industry.

A distinction is made between three basic types of ejectors:

Basic ejectors:

Vacuum generator without control valves or system monitorin, with a high maximum vacuum value (85%). Used primarily for the handling of air-tight workpieces.

Multi-stage ejectors:

Vacuum generator with several nozzle chambers in series and with a very high suction capacity. Used primarily for handling porous workpieces such as cardboard boxes and sheets of OSB or MDF.

Compact ejectors:

Vacuum generator with integrated control valves and system monitoring functions. Gripping and blowing-off can be controlled without the need for external valves. Used in fully automated handling systems (such as machining of sheet metal, automobile construction, robot applications).

Vacuum pumps

Vacuum pumps are electrical vacuum generators which can generate high vacuum values at volume flow rates of 4 to 250 m3/h.

Advantages of vacuum pumps

• High vacuum values can be achieved in large-volume systems
• Suitable for use as a central vacuum generator
• Little maintenance required

Typical applications areas

• As a central vacuum generator in portal transfer systems
• In manual vacuum handling devices
• In packing machines

A distinction is made between three types of vacuum pumps:

Dry-running pump:

Universal vacuum pump requiring little maintenance. Used primarily as a central vacuum generator in large gripper systems for the handling of air-tight workpieces.

Oil-lubricated pump:

Special vacuum pump for very high vacuum values (up to - 0.98 bar) for handling of air-tight workpieces. Used in handling systems where quiet operation, minimum maintenance and high vacuum values are required.

Water-ring pump:

Vacuum pump requiring little maintenance and with internal water-cooling for the handling of air-tight workpieces. Used, in particular, in applications where the quality of the ambient air is important (such as packing applications in the food-stuffs sector).

Vacuum blowers

Vacuum blowers generate a very high suction capacity at low vacuum values. They are used wherever porous workpieces have to bepicked up and handled.

Advantages of vacuum blowers

• Enormous suction capacity
• Very good compensation for leaks
• Permit handling of porous workpieces

Typical application areas

• Evacuating large volumes in a very short time
• Handling of porous workpieces such as cardboard boxes, thermal insulation material, chipboards or sacks
