Price Industries, of Auburn, GA, recently decided to manufacture their own water coils for their air handling units, investing in a state-of-the-art VTech 50 Pressure Decay Leak Detection System. The VTech machine is part of a major investment that includes fin press, expander and hairpin bender.
The high-pressure testing of the coils (up to 450 psig) require a safety enclosure, which we integrated into a section of roller conveyor, so the coils can easily be slid in from one side and out the other side. A dedicated dry air supply system was installed next to the VTech 50; as an alternative to bottled nitrogen and the expense and time-consuming task of having to frequently change supply tanks, the unit supplies the required pressure for the test.
A second machine is due to be installed in the fall of 2010.
