Waveguide Air Pressure Unit

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Waveguide Air Pressure Unit by Parker domnick hunter is engineered to supply clean, dry compressed air to prevent arcing in radio frequency energy systems, protecting waveguides and radar power amplifiers.
Key Features:
  • Continuous supply of dry air to prevent arcing.
  • Dual compressors for fail-safe operation.
  • Interfaces with radar Built In Test Equipment (BITE) for monitoring.
  • Compact design with local operation alarms.
Technical Specifications:
  • Particulate removal down to 1 micron.
  • Maximum oil content: 0.01mg/m3.
  • Pressure dewpoint: -40°C (-40°F).
  • Outlet pressure: 2.8 bar g (41 psi g).
  • Outlet flow range: 2.3 – 3.3 m3/hr (1.4 – 1.95 cfm).
  • Operating pressure range: 4 to 8 bar g (58 to 116 psi g).
  • Temperature range: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F).
  • Electrical supply: 220-240 Vac 50Hz, Alarm supply: 28Vdc.
Operational Stages:
  1. Stage 1: High-efficiency water separator removes bulk liquid contamination.
  2. Stage 2: Pre-filter removes further bulk contamination.
  3. Stage 3: Coalescing filter removes oil/water aerosols and dirt particulates.
  4. Stage 4: Regenerative desiccant dryer removes water vapor, maintaining low dewpoint.
  5. Stage 5: Final particulate filter removes desiccant dust and acts as an air receiver.
Design and Construction: The unit is housed in an epoxy-painted steel cabinet with lifting handles and removable panels, featuring visual flow and pressure indicators on the front panel.

Waveguide Air Pressure Unit-1

Waveguide Air Pressure Unit Prevents arcing of radio frequency energy Dry air is essential to prevent arcing of radio frequency energy, which can damage the waveguide and radar power amplifier. The Waveguide Air Pressure Unit from Parker domnick hunter is designed to provide a continuous supply of clean, dry compressed air that prevents arcing and improves power handling duties on ground based waveguide radar systems. Air is filtered and dried to remove water vapour and potentially damaging particles down to 1 micron in size. Dual compressors provide a fail-safe security function; in the event of a primary compressor failure, a secondary compressor maintains pressure to ensure that waveguide system performance is maintained. The unit interfaces with radar Built In Test Equipment (BITE) to indicate high temperature and low pressure and also has local “normal operation” alarm neons on the facia panel.
