New Swagelok Miniature

Quick-Connects Provide

Extra Safety Feature

Miniature "QM" Series Quick-

Connects, with double end shut-off stems, are now available from Swa- gelok Co., based in Solon, Ohio.

A valve in the new stem, and a poppet valve in the body, provide automatic shut-off in both halves of the connection when the unit is uncoupled. This is a safety benefit and can reduce fluid loss during uncoupling.

The miniature quick-connects feature easy fingertip operation.

This type of connection eliminates cross threading, overtightening and galling, which can occur with some other methods of connecting very small lines. The connects can be used in many systems which require small tubing, piping, or hose.

Swagelok regarding the new quick- connects and their applications,

ABB Offers Eight-Page,

Full-Color Brochure

On Turbochargers

ABB Turbo Systems Ltd. of Bad- en, Switzerland, has published an eight-page, full-color brochure on the VTR..4E range of turbochargers manufactured by the company.

BBC turbochargers type VTR have been manufactured since 1944, during which time they have been continually adapted to suit the re- quirements of the market. The range of VTR..4E turbochargers meets the demands of modern two- and four-stroke engines equipped with power turbine systems. Owing to the excellent efficiency which, according to the company, is much higher than the engine really needs, it is possible to utilize some of the exhaust gases direct in the power turbine to improve the fuel con- sumption or to generate additional energy.

The brochure discusses the design and functional range of VTR turbo- chargers, development objectives, field of application, and the VTR design concept. Cutaway drawings, photos and graphs complement the descriptive text.

VTR..4E range of turbochargers from ABB Turbo Systems,
