E.A.R.S.® is the abbreviation
of Exhausted Air Recycling System.
An ingenious invention to revolutionize the world
of compressed air:
EARS® – Exhausted Air Recycling System. The precompressed
exhaust air from the tools is fed to the compressor via a second
air hose, thus raising compressor performance significantly.
The key to the success of EARS technology is the so-called manifold,
which controls the pressure of the return line and is fastened
to the piston or screw compressor.
The exhaust air of the compressed air tools is fed to the manifold
with a second supply line. Existing tools can be converted using
an easy-to-mount adapter. Prefitted EARS tools are also available.
Three convincing arguments
1. Performance:
The EARS system functions like a turbocharger for your compressor.
Pressure and air volume are kept virtually constant by feeding
back the exhaust air that normally escapes from the system inside
a circuit. Even notorious “air guzzlers” can work
for long periods with the required power output. EARS tunes your
compressor: by doubling output to give a constant working pressure.
2. The cost argument:
You can work highly economically with the EARS system and thus
save costs. Using EARS with a 5.5 kW compressor, for example,
you can generate the same volume of air as with a conventionally
powered 7.5 kW compressor. You therefore save from the outset
on purchasing costs – and in the long term on electricity
costs! If you upgrade your existing compressor to the EARS system,
you will gain from the lower compressor running times and longer
service life that these bring.
3. The environment and health argument:
Generating more power with less energy is especially good for the
environment.
With EARS you can also reduce exhaust noises from compressed air
tools by more than 50%. You thus contribute to standards required
by health and environmental management systems and easily comply
with the demands of government safety organisation. One further
positive aspect is that you prevent your employees from having
to breathe in the fine oil mist and particles of fine dust that
are normally stirred up by the exhaust air.
