Fiac TDRY 6 luchtdroger voor compressor voor 600 liter per minuut NW

Various websites provide specifications for this or similar machines, but "NW" generally doesn't seem to appear.

@Barend Yes, for that line of compressors, "NW" is a Michelin code, according to one of the suppliers.
Barend van Zadelhoff Jan 3, 2023:
For the related compressor?

Productomschrijving van Fiac TDRY 6 luchtdroger voor compressor voor 600 liter per minuut NW

De FIAC TDRY luchtdroger kun je aan je compressor koppelen voor een hogere luchtkwaliteit.

Thanks for all the help and information I have since obtained information from elsewhere, including a supplier of this type of equipment, indicating that NW is part of the model name and should not be translated.

I appreciate your input!

'nominale waarde' in combinatie met 'liter per minuut'

In de Kombi Kompakt HRE 24/18 en Kombi Kompakt HRE 28/24 zit een doseerventiel met een nominale waarde van respectievelijk 6 en 7,5 liter/min.

Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 30, 2022:
Je vindt inderdaad 'maximale capaciteit' in verband met '600 liter per minuut'.
Maar hoe je van 'maximale capaciteit' bij 'NW' komt, is mij niet duidelijk.

Technische eigenschappen van de Fiac TDRY 6 Luchtdroger
Maximale capaciteit 600 Liter per minuut.
Maximale werkdruk 16 Bar.
Voltage 230 Volt.
Aansluiting 3/4"
Afmetingen 350 x 493 x 450 mm.
Gewicht 19 Kg.

NW = nominal width see:

"Compressed air supply: NW 7.2 coupling, acc. ISO 4414/EN 983 standard
Minimum requirements for compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [1:4:1]"

https://www.obsessedgarage.com/products/ics-ic-030-evo-ii-dr...

then see:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Compressed air supply: "nomi... (Googling: Compressed air supply: "nominal width" "NW 7.2 coupling")

• "… NW 7.2 Coupling …"
• "… nominal width 7.2 …"

nominale wijdte (nominal width) Have a look at: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

Look for "NA" in the table. This seems to confirm Astrid's suggestion.
Marijke Singer Dec 30, 2022:
It may stand for nominale werkdruk: nominal operating/working pressure (sometimes abbreviated to NWP: .lawinsider.com/dictionary/nominal-working-pressure-nwp)
Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 30, 2022:
NW = nieuw ?
philgoddard Dec 30, 2022:
Here's the product http://www.hbm-machines.com/nl/p/fiac-tdry-6-luchtdroger-voo...
But I can't see anything beginning with NW.

Nominale wijdte (nominal width)

Found on the website selling this product. Could however also stand for New Whisper which is a product used simultaneously with the one you described. Will need more information to be sure

Max. capacity

assuming NW refers to the 600 L/min
nominale waarde

=~ rated value
but more likely written as (Max) capacity in EN

as on: https://toolsidee.co.uk/product/fiac-tdry-9-air-dryer-for-co...
" Technical features of the Fiac TDRY 9 Air Dryer
Maximum capacity 850 liters per minute. "
