NYOS TORQ是我们在礁石水族馆业余爱好中看到的最具创新性的新媒体反应堆设计之一。NYOS于5月在Interzoo首次在德国透露,NYOS从那以后一直在调整和完善NYOS反应堆,现在终于在全球范围内散布着Reefers。
Whereas most media reactors are a basic tube which may or may not include a pump, Nyos saw the need to offer up the Torq as two distinct components, the Torq Dock and the Torq Body. As you might expect, the Torq Dock is the base of the reactor which contains the pump driving the assembly. The pump inside the Torq Dock is rated for up to 1,000 liters per hour (264gph) with a power consumption of 12 watts.
The Torq Body is available in three different sizes, a 2.0 liter, a 1.0 liter and a 0.75 liter. The Body 2.0 is 100 mm in diameter and 17 inches tall, or 21 inches overall when mounted to the Torq Dock. The Body 1.0 is the same heigh as the 2.0 but 70 mm in diameter. Finally the Body 0.75 is the same diameter as the Body 1.0 but only 14 inches tall, or 18 inches overall when coupled with the dock.
The Nyos Torq has two neat tricks up its acrylic sleeve; first is how the Body is quickly attached and removed from the Torq Base, making for quick maintenance and refill of the media inside the chamber of the body. Secondly, the flow rate/flow through can be easily adjusted by twisting the Body relative to the Dock – and if that’s too much flow out of the gate the output can be further reduced by a sliding dial on the pump intake.
出口托尔克的水实际上流下了反应堆室的侧面,我们担心这可能会在撞到其运行的水面时会产生很多飞溅。当我们第一次设置Torq时,这是一个小问题,但是几天后,丙烯酸的疏水残留物被洗净,并且变得更加安静。
与0.75尸体的码头之间的价格在179美元之间,NYOS TORQ无疑是小型媒体反应堆的高级价格。如果您正在寻找纳米反应堆,那么那里的选择肯定会更小,而且价格更便宜。
但是,如果您真的对较大2.0升的TORQ感兴趣用于大型水箱,那么组合码头和车身是“仅” 225美元的225美元,与大型媒体反应堆相似,实际上具有竞争力。NYOS TORQ媒体反应堆真正脱颖而出的地方是易用性和快速维护,在更换Biopellets,GFO或活性碳时会感觉像是一种奢侈品。
