The ir ox 12 is powered by a hydraulic recovery turbine pump that was specially designed by Plad Equipment Ltd.

3 ir ox 12 ir ooler Included The ir ox 12 is equipped with a stainless steel single pass air cooler that cools down the air temperature to the level of the water pond. four-pass air cooler is also available as an optional feature to provide colder air and water, at a temperature close to the pond water temperature. new sprinkler head is born! ir In The ir ox 12 has approximately the same water requirements than the 90-foot radius golf course sprinkler heads; Rain ird Eagle (Red nozzle) and Toro series 855S-59 (eige nozzle).

The ir ox is supplied with an oiless rotary vane air compressor that represent the best pneumatic solution for continuous operation and a continuously air flow supply. ir/water ooling iagram How does a rotary vane compressor work? Pumping action is produced by a series of sliding float vanes as they rotate in a cylindrical housing. s the diagram shows, an eccentrically mounted rotor turns and the individual vanes slide in and out of their slots by centrifugal and pressure forces. This creates a series of air compartments of unequal volume against the wall of the housing. These compartments get smaller during the discharge portion of the cycle, creating pressure at the exhaust port.

4 ir ox 12 ir required! In 2001, the Knowlton golf club built a second 9-hole course. total of 7 ponds were built on the new course. ut after only two years, those ponds were full of algae, and the water quality was deteriorating rapidly. The ponds eventually ended up looking like wet lands. Since the usage of algaecide is prohibited, the golf club had to find other options to bring back life to these ponds. lthough the use of bacteria and aquatic plants can prove efficient, they require oxygen to work properly. The oxygen can be supplied by aerator fountains or fine bubble diffuser systems. ut there were no electrical power sources anywhere near these ponds. The golf course had everything in place such as the plants and the bacteria, but no electrical power to generate oxygen. The solution was then to use this huge energy that most golf courses have under their feet, that is the hydraulic power within the irrigation pipe network system. y using the pressurized irrigation water to activate an hydraulic recovery turbine, it was then possible to provide power to a rotary vane air compressor. The power generated by the turbine makes the compressor work to distribute air through air diffuser pods installed at the bottom of the pond. It was the birth of the ir ox, a new tool that helps golf course's superintendent solve the problem of algae. Sylvain Fullum, the golf course superintendent has confirmed that they are now very happy to see those ponds in great conditions once again. The ir ox in action at the Knowlton Golf lub, Knowlton, Quebec, anada. Fine ubble iffuser System The ir ox 12 is perfect for seasonal sub-surface pond aeration and/or preventing winter ice formation. The air blower will service air diffuser pods that will be assembled with one to four 9 inch or 12 inch fine bubble diffusers built with EPM membranes and heavy duty UV resistant plastic parts. The benefits of sub-surface pond aeration are not limited to the following: Provide enhanced aerobic digestion Increase dissolved oxygen and transfer rate Reduces nutrient levels and associated algea growth End thermal water stratification Eliminates odors from undesirable dissolved gases Safe, since there is no electricity in the water complete sub-surface aeration system includes the air blower, air diffuser pods and heavy duty air supply self-weighted tubing. PL manufactures 8 models of air diffuser pods from 1.5 to 14 FM of air flow per pod. Simplex, duplex and triplex pod configuration with 9 and 12" diameter disc diffuser.

5 onventional Electric ir ompressor for Pond eration The ir System 10 by Plad uses a conventional 1 HP electric motorized compressor to provide 10 FM of air at 10 psi to feed a sub-surface fine-bubble diffused air system. The rotary vane type electric compressor can service up to four duplex fine bubble diffuser pods, located at the bottom's pond, to provide a very good oxygen transfer throughout the entire water column.
