Widespread use of gas monitoring systems increasingly calls for test gases in small, portable, robust and easy-to-use cylinders to simplify regular calibration and instrumentation procedures. ECOCYL® is Linde’s response to this need. It is ideal for bump testing gases as well as for calibration and instrumentation gases. In addition, it is helping companies to improve their corporate responsibility performance. Unlike disposable packages, ECOCYL is a more sustainable option as it can be reused.
Integrated device
ECOCYL is a small, refillable aluminum cylinder with a valve plus pressure (up to 200 bar) and flow regulator fully integrated in a specially designed protection cowling. This makes it a safe, easy and ready-to-use system. No additional equipment is needed to deliver gas at the point of use. All the operator needs to do is open the cylinder valve and select the flow rate. This can be adjusted across a range from 0.1 to 10 liters per minute.
New product range
The ECOCYL family was recently expanded to include ECOCYL 201 and ECOCYL 202 models. Building on the success of the market-proven one-liter, 150-bar ECOCYL RSH package, these upgraded 1- and 2-liter devices work at filling pressures of up to 200 bar, offering more flexibility and up to 160% more gas content than ECOCYL RSH. For even greater connectivity, ECOCYL now comes with the option of a standard hose barb outlet, a quick connector outlet or a ¼-inch compression fitting.
