How to save on gas consumption?

Protect your money from inflation and invest in the Optimator GasIQ smart control valve, which will mitigate the effects of the increasing price of technical gases on welding.

The GasiQ optimizer has the following features:

• regulates the pressure,
• measure the flow rate thanks to its own flowmeter,
• the flow rate can be locked to the desired value,
• improves the quality of welds,
• reduces the appearance of pores,
• and mainly saves gas.

Do you wonder how they save gas?

Standard control valves are slow and the hoses are overpressurized and the gas flow increases in excess of the recommended required flow rate at the nozzle.

‍

The GasiQ optimizer optimizes gas pre-blows in the first seconds of welding. Thus, when scoring and short welds, there is a maximum saving of up to 50% of gas consumption! With conventional welds, we measure around 26% savings. And the return of invetice? The latter is usually 5-7 months. Considering the valve life of around 15-20 years, this is an excellent investment.

It also improves the quality of welds without increasing costs

Thanks to the laminar gas flow function, you can achieve even better quality welds with the GasIQ Optimizer without the appearance of pores!

A result with the power of proof - A case study at VOLVO!

A test at Volvo car manufacturer showed that it saves the least by installing the GasIQ Optimizer 43% of the cost!

To examine how much gas can be saved with the GasIQ Optimator, the following test was carried out in Volvo: A repeated welding cycle was performed in one of the welding departments over a period of approximately 60 minutes. The test was carried out in such a way that the welder in one cycle first worked with a conventional reduction valve that was available, and in the next cycle worked using the Optimator. A mass flowmeter with a digital counter was connected to determine how much gas is consumed during both welding processes. Flow meter checks were also carried out on welding torches to show that the melt cycle has the same volume of gas flow. The gas flow rate was set at 18 l/min.

Result:

Gas consumption of conventional welding machine: 838 l
Gas consumption of conventional welding machine using Gasiq Optimator: 429 l

Similar savings are proven in other companies:
ABB, BMW, GM, Caterpillar, JCB, Aker Kvaerner, Autolio, Mercedes, Benteler, Evobus, Kögel, Iveco, Doosan Bobcat, Agromaskin Pelhřimov, SUNGWOO HITECH, DONGWON, V O P, etc.
