be suppressed. A new version of such a controller, known as a phototransistorized proportional con troller, has been placed on the mar ket. It operates on the principle of a light beam being interrupted when a set point is reached. This controller is adaptable to regula tion of temperature as well as other functions. Proportional action of the NIEAF controller is based on the system of switching modula tion. Prices on request. Dept.

How to get drier or cooler AIR or GASES at low cost N I A G A R A AERO® AFTER COOLER
c o o l s a compressed gas, or air, below t h e temperature of the surrounding a t m o s p h e r e , t h u s p r e v e n t i n g the c o n d e n s a t i o n of moisture in your lines. T h e gas will contain only half o f t h e moisture left in it by conven t i o n a l methods. Even drier gas can b e p r o d u c e d if you require it. In working -with controlled at mospheres of inert gases to prevent undesired reactions, this dryness of the gas at low cost is a great ad vantage. The cost of the Niagara method is low because it uses evap orative cooling, saving 9 5 % of the cost of cooling water (and its pip ing and pumping). This direct sav ing of cost pays for the N i a g a r a cooler in less than t w o years.
If you use compressed air to operate instruments or pneumatic equipment you will get better re sults by using the Niagara Aero After Cooler. W r i t e for Bulletin 130, or ask nearest Niagara Engineer if you have a problem involving the in dustrial use of air.
