红海看到了一个富有成效的2022年,其中有两个重要的新产品范围 - 直流返回泵和新的DC驱动的自我升级蛋白质撇渣器。DC返回泵代表了逐红外拼图中最明显的缺少作品,但是新的Reefer DC Skimmers上的自我级别功能是如此独特,我们从未见过类似的东西。
Reefrun DC返回泵
这款令人惊讶的双产品发布有很多值得一提的事情,但让我们从返回泵开始。红海被命名为Reefrun DC泵,毫无疑问地将其用于SICCE在该领域的可靠质量和可靠性,并且每个人都有五年的保修。它们将有三种尺寸,可控制的流速高达5500、7000和9000卢比/1450、1900和2500GPH。每个都有10英寸长的电源电缆,旋转的插座,以便于弯曲软管,并旋转入口,以防止空气从泵室的表面吸入。
红海已经沿着自己的路线进行了回程泵的控制,但是,正如您所期望的那样,从头开始建造自己的控制器将泵完全集成到自己的Reefbeat应用程序中。The first thing to note about the controller is that it’s a dual controller, meaning that it will control any two ReefRun DC pumps, including that in the skimmer (more on that in a moment,) but unlike most DC pumps available right now you purchase the pump and the required controller separately.
通过应用程序,Reefrun DC在输出和程序方面完全可以控制,并且当然可以将整天选择时的连续,可靠的输出或减少/增加输出。如果通知被阻止或重要,则它将发送通知。对于带有双插座的最大的红海储罐,可以并排运行两个泵,以增加流量,但在一个双控制器上。现在,您也可以按照自己的要求在应用程序中点击馈电模式,并控制所有红色海浪泵,直流返回泵和直流撇渣器泵。
新的Reefer DC撇渣器
Reefrun推出中的电阻是撇渣器。冷藏DC撇油器是现有的演变AC pump-powered Reefer Skimmer, promising quieter performance from a more economical pump. The new DC skimmer pump is also made by Sicce, also proven and reliable but also now controllable via the Dual Controller and the ReefBeat app. That means if you’re investing in Red Sea from new you purchase one ReefRun DC pump, one Reefer DC skimmer, and one Dual Controller, saving money versus purchasing two DC controllers, and if you buy the three items together there’s a further saving when buying as a bundle.
The Reefer DC is exactly the same body as the existing AC model and comes just as before in the same three 300, 600, and 900 sizes. That means that existing AC Reefer owners will be able to purchase an upgrade kit to turn their AC Red Sea Skimmer into a ReefRun Family DC-powered, app-controllable skimmer without having to buy a whole new skimmer body. That’s a nice touch.
自我升级功能
Now for the really new bit, the sensors. The Reefer DC Skimmer is fitted with not one but two unique sensors mounted inside the cup. The first is a full-cup sensor, something we have welcomed from other brands before but unlike every other float sensor which switches off the skimmer pump if the cup becomes full, Red Sea’s turns the DC pump down instead, preventing the cup from overfilling while still providing gaseous exchange from inside the skimmer body. It will also give you a notification that the skimmer is full.
Next though is the device we are most excited about, and the one that has the most positive implications for our tanks and the way that we skim them. The Reefer DC Skimmer also comes fitted with a self-leveling feature. This comes in the form of a sensor fitted in the lid that reaches down inside the center of the collection cup and tests how wet the foam is. Then using the controllable DC skimmer pump, it regulates the flow to get the optimum skimmate height, consistency, and air/water mix for that particular Reefer Skimmer model and holds it there 24 hours per day, autonomously, making incremental changes in regard to load and the surface tension of the water as and when they happen.
No more going haywire
In times gone by you could add a certain buffer or oily food and the skimmer would go haywire, overflow, jettison its collected skimmate back into the system, filling the cup with clean water, and spraying everywhere. You return from work or vacation and open the cabinet to find a dysfunctional, overflowing skimmer. That or one that may have float-switched off entirely days or weeks before.
但是,借助红海的新自我升级功能,它应该可以防止此类事件,当泡沫变得不稳定时,将泵倒下,然后慢慢将其恢复到最佳状态,然后返回到提供一致,可收集的撇渣物。如果您完全忽略了它,则应随着时间的推移填充杯子,再次将流量切下来,同时向您发送通知杯子需要清空的通知。这是革命性的。
The word Smart is overused in our industry but the Self Levelling Feature on Red Sea’s new Reefer DC Skimmer does appear to be the first genuinely smart feature we’ve ever seen in a protein skimmer. It’s not just on/off smart or notification/alarm smart, it’s self-regulating skimmate smart. So smart in fact that it’s Patent Pending.Red Sea fanswill delight in the launch of the return pump, the new skimmer, and the upgrade path for the old skimmers, but you don’t need to own a Red Sea tank in order to enjoy either new device.
