Workshop Extraction Systems
Workshop Extraction Systems: Types of Systems
Sliding Trolley Rail (STR) System
Sliding Trolley Rail... A sliding trolley operates within an aluminium extruded rail and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed air switch. This compresses the nozzle onto any shaped exhaust within its range. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. When the vehicle then starts to drive off through the bay it eventually gets to a dedicated position at high level where a simple air release switch automatically deflates the `grabber bag typenozzle`and releases the vehicle. Up to 2no. trollies can be fitted to one track for double lengthed parked emergency vehicles. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This is the ONLY system that grabs 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle.
Sliding Balancer Track (SBT) System
Sliding Balancer Track... This is an economical solution with a sliding hose that operates within an steel extruded track and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed air switch. This compresses the nozzle onto any shaped exhaust within its range. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are is detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. When the vehicle then starts to drive off through the bay it eventually gets to a dedicated position at high level where a simple air release switch automatically deflates the `grabber bag type nozzle`and releases the vehicle. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This is the ONLY system that grabs 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle. Ideal for smaller support vehicles and ambulances.
Magnetic Sliding Rail (MSR)
Magnetic Sliding Rail... A sliding trolley operates within an aluminium extruded rail and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed magnetic switch. When the trolley passed a switch at high level it demagnetises the nozzle away from the exhaust pipe. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. Up to 2no. trollies can be fitted to one track for double lengthed parked emergency vehicles. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This system grabs virtually 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle.
Vertical Sliding Rail (VSR) System
This unique product to AES is designed for upward facing stacks on Airport tender type vehicles. A flexible rail is installed at a fixed height just above the bay area. Guide springs allow the track to move left and right upto 600mm and this operation collects the moving vehicle as it approaches the canopy and guides itself into the rail assembly. The exhaust emissions are detected automatically within the rail by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. It captures 100% of the fume as it is all self contained within the rail. Benefits of this system include that no person has to touch the vehicle either on entry or exit. Can be used for drive through or reverse in type stations.
Workshop System (SER)
In this arrangement the extraction hose is wound onto a drum located at high level. An internal spring and locking mechanism allows upto 12.5metres of hose to be dispensed for connection to the vehicle exhaust. When not in use the hose rewinds onto the drum. Main benefits of this system is the reduction in risk of accidents due to trailing hoses from being left around the workshop. It is also worth looking at 'Types of System' in the Commercial section of Vehicle Exhaust Extraction section.
