Chart-Linde Distributor Training
 
In July Linde & Chart held a 3-day training program for members of the Linde Distributor Association at Chart's Georgia facility. What made this format different from Chart's normal technical training programs is that it was developed using the knowledge and experience from both the global gas producer and the cryogenic equipment provider, resulting in a more encompassing and in-depth training. It is anticipated that similar programs will be offered in 2014.

APPS 160 Gen 1 to Gen 3 Upgrade Kit Available

Chart, continuously investing in product development, recently introduced an APPS 160 Generation 1 to Generation 3 upgrade kit. This economical kit gets you all the features of a Gen 3 APPS 160 at about half the price of a new unit.

Chart's Generation 3 APPS 160 can save you the expense of an entire bulk tank. The APPS 160 will take high pressure gas and convert it to low pressure liquid. Low pressure liquid is useful for applications such as HALT / HASS chamber testing, electronic and manufacturing testing, and food and beverage packaging.   

 

Significant benefits of the Generation 3 versus Generation 1 APPS 160 units are:

- Reduced noise levels (98 to 106 dB), as the Gen 3 upgrade includes a
   muffler.

- Major components are moved out of the frost area for easier viewing and
   operation.

- The flip/toggle switch is intuitive and enables more troubleshooting options.

- The new level gauge is more accurate and reliable, and has also been

   moved out of the frost area for easier viewing.

- This kit can either be installed in the Chart factory or in the field (field

   installation travel expenses will apply).
