AKG
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AKG from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum flow rate for AKG DC motor driven forced air oil coolers?
AKG DC motor driven forced air oil coolers, such as the DCSB45-12-3, have a maximum flow rate of 80 gpm. They are designed for hydraulic and lubrication oil systems and can remove up to 60 hp of heat. These coolers operate on 12V DC and have an IP 68 rating, making them suitable for mobile equipment and harsh environments. The flow range for this model is 10 to 80 gpm, and the maximum pressure is 250 psi. This makes them ideal for applications where reliable cooling is required under varying flow conditions.
What are the electrical requirements for AKG fan-powered compressed air aftercoolers?
AKG fan-powered compressed air aftercoolers are available with different electrical configurations. For example, the CC200-1 operates on 115/230V AC, 1-phase, while the CC2000-3 requires 230/460V AC, 3-phase. Other models like the CC200-3 use 208-230/460V AC, 3-phase. The choice depends on the available power supply and the size of the compressor. These aftercoolers are designed to reduce compressed air temperature and moisture, protecting downstream equipment such as dryers, filters, and piping. Always verify the electrical specifications match your facility's power supply.
What is the maximum compressor output power for the AKG CC2500-3 aftercooler?
The AKG CC2500-3 fan-powered compressed air aftercooler is rated for a maximum compressor output power of 600 hp. It delivers 4,316 cfm of airflow and operates on 230/460V AC, 3-phase power. This model is suitable for large compressed air systems where significant cooling capacity is required. It reduces compressed air temperature and removes moisture, helping to maintain air quality and protect downstream equipment. The CC2500-3 is part of AKG's range of aftercoolers designed for industrial applications with high demand for reliable performance.
What is the IP rating of AKG oil coolers?
AKG oil coolers, such as the DCSB45-12-3 DC motor driven forced air oil cooler, have an IP 68 rating. This indicates a high level of protection against dust and water ingress, making them suitable for use in mobile equipment and outdoor environments where exposure to the elements is a concern. The IP 68 rating ensures that the cooler can withstand harsh conditions, including temporary immersion in water. This is particularly important for hydraulic and lubrication oil systems in construction, agriculture, and other off-highway applications.
What is the difference between AKG oil coolers and aftercoolers?
AKG oil coolers are designed to cool hydraulic and lubrication oil in systems such as mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and power units. They remove heat from the oil to maintain optimal operating temperatures. AKG aftercoolers, on the other hand, are used in compressed air systems to reduce the temperature of compressed air after it leaves the compressor. This helps to condense moisture and protect downstream equipment like dryers, filters, and piping. While both are heat exchangers, they serve different fluids and applications. 3G Electric supplies both types to meet various cooling needs.
Can AKG aftercoolers be used with variable frequency drives?
AKG aftercoolers are typically designed to operate with standard AC power supplies, such as 115/230V AC single-phase or 230/460V AC three-phase. They are not specifically marketed for use with variable frequency drives (VFDs). However, if a VFD is used to control the compressor, the aftercooler should be selected based on the actual airflow and cooling requirements. It is important to ensure that the aftercooler's fan motor is compatible with the power supply and any control method used. Consult the technical specifications for each model to determine suitability.
