BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have extended the METPOINT BDL graphic-display recorders series with a mobile variant for data logging in compressed-air and compressed-gas applications. The new METPOINT BDL portable will complete the stationary standard and compact versions of the successful measurement equipment series.

The METPOINT BDL portable data logger is designed for the measured value acquisition via a multitude of different transducers. With this, it is suitable for use as a hand-held device where measured values need to be recorded and logged by mobile devices – also beyond compressed-air applications.  

Full flexibility between the smallest delivered quantities and the peak load – with this, the new refrigeration dryers of the DRYPOINT® RA eco series from BEKO TECHNOLOGIES achieve decisive efficiency gains as regards the energy consumption. With fluctuating compressed-air removal or changed ambient conditions, the energy consumption can now optimally be adjusted to the demand. Compared to conventional refrigeration dryers, which are generally designed to meet the maximum requirements, which has the potential to save up to 80% of the operating costs in the partial-load range.
