Rotary Vane Air Pumps: Compact, Pulsation free … and Now Quiet

28.04.2005

Traditionally rotary vane air pumps are more compact and pulsation free in comparison to alternative technologies. Through innovative sound reduction techniques Rietschle Thomas can now add "quiet" to this list of positive features.

Rotary Vane Air Pumps: Compact, Pulsation free … and Now Quiet

Rietschle Thomas

The G 09-LC offers a free flow of 9 l/min and +/- 350 mbar pressure or vacuum performance with a body size of only 40 x 40 x 90 mm. With a new EPDM sound reduction jacket the noise level of this pump has been reduced to an impressive 44 dB(A). At this level 16 noise reduced pumps run quieter than a single pump without noise reduction.

The G 09-LC is suitable for a variety of applications, but most notably for lumbar support in seat comfort systems for the automotive, aircraft, and furniture markets. Here the pumps fully utilise the advantages of rotary vane technology, namely:

  • compact – saving valuable space
  • high flow – providing fast response time
  • pulsation free – avoiding sound generation inside the air bladders
  • reversible – allowing active deflation of air bladders

…and now also quiet!

Chlorine Gas Systems: New Electric Safety Valve Makes the System Safer

13.12.2024 -

Chlorine gas plays a key role in the disinfection of drinking and industrial water. However, handling the chemical can pose considerable health risks – from irritation of the eyes to fatal pulmonary oedema. To further improve occupational safety during use, Lutz-Jesco has developed the VakuStop – a vacuum regulator for dosing systems that is equipped with an emergency stop function to prevent uncontrolled chlorine gas leaks directly at the chlorine gas tank in the event of an emergency.
