How can I keep my gas mixer running smoothly?
To keep your gas mixer running smoothly and extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is key. It is important to ensure that the gases supplied to your mixers are clean and dry, and we recommend using a BSL gas filter to ensure this. Once installed, we suggest...
Is it necessary to calibrate my gas mixer regularly?
Calibration of your gas mixer is only necessary if you want to modify it or if you’ve encountered issues with the quality of your gas supply. It is recommended to refurbish your mixing valves every five years, which involves stripping the valves, replacing all...
Why is gas mixer maintenance so important?
A BSL gas mixer is built to last but still needs some maintenance. Although they are highly durable, certain gases at specific pressures can cause rubber components to deteriorate over time. To ensure the longevity of your equipment, we recommend refurbishing mixing...
How can I safely perform maintenance on my gas mixer?
When engaging in common activities, we naturally assess the risks involved. Gas mixers, however, pose certain inherent risks that must be considered. Factors such as gas pressure, gas nature, skill level, tooling and protective equipment must be taken into account. To...
What safety precautions should I take when using gas mixing equipment?
Gas mixing systems operate at high pressures, which can be dangerous if not handled with proper guidance. In addition to this, inert gases can be hazardous to personnel, especially in confined spaces and carbon dioxide (CO₂) can also be harmful in low concentrations....
How can I troubleshoot issues with my gas mixing system?
When you receive your gas mixing system, you will also receive a detailed instruction manual, a test certificate for your gas mixer and a warranty statement. The test certificate provides information about all the parameters you need to consider during the gas mixing...
What happens if I lose a supply gas to my BSL mixing panel?
Our gas mixers are equipped with a built-in safety interlock that functions independently of power supply. If you lose a supply gas while using one of our gas mixers, this safety interlock will immediately prevent the flow of any gas to ensure your safety. Our...
Which gases are the cleanest and which are the dirtiest?
Industrial gases are usually clean when they are produced. The cleanest gases are often the rarest and hardest to obtain. However, various processes are implemented to ensure their cleanliness and purity from the start. Flammable gases and gases that support...
Which gases are the most dangerous to handle?
All gases pose a potential threat to life. While some, like hydrogen (H₂), are widely recognised as dangerous due to their flammability, some seemingly ordinary gases, such as the colourless carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide, can also be hazardous to life and should...
