Gas Economisier GS40

What is gas economiser?

The GCE Gas economiser is the leading accessory for shielding gas arc welding as MIG, MAG and TIG welding technologies. With its small and compact design, the GS40 can be installed downstream most common cylinder pressure regulators or outlet point regulators with flow control. GS40 stabilizes flow and optimises shielding gas pressure in the hose during welding process.

Why to use gas economiser?

Cost of the shielding gas is important factor influencing total cost balance of the welding operation. The savings with GS40 represents up to 0,5 liter of the shielding gas on each average weld. Optimal gas delivery with proper defined pressure and flow-rate improves quality of welding. Cost saving and quality improvement in this area give the advantage to the user on the competitive market.

How does it work?

When you close the gas flow at common pressure regulator during the welding process interruption, the outlet pressure in the connecting hose raises up much above the optimal level (acc. to ISO 2503 up to 30%). Then the volume of the gas, higher than really needed, is blowing through the system after the welding process starts again by switching on the arc on the welding torch. GS40 minimises amount of such waste gas cumulated in the connecting hose. The optimal, predefined gas flow is delivered to the welding process during all its phases. Adjustable variant with the handwheel (GS40A) is to be used with regulators with flow-meter, fixed variant (GS40F) with regulators with litre-scaled pressure gauge.
