Loaner engine for Elk Grove Township – update

Bill Friedrich shared a photo of an engine currently being used by the Elk Grove Township Fire Department. This particular unit was previously owned by the Galesburg Fire Department. In his own words: "I captured this image of the loaner engine that Elk Grove is using while their Spartan/Alexis engine is undergoing repairs. The loaner is Engine 52 from the Galesburg Fire Department. I also included a shot of the same rig when it was still in service with Galesburg." Here are the images:

Galesburg Fire Department Engine 52 Spartan Alexis

The engine served the Galesburg Fire Department as Engine 52. It was built in 2003 on a Spartan Diamond chassis by Alexis with a 1,500-GPM pump and 600 gallons of water. Bill Friedrich photo

These photos offer a glimpse into how fire departments often share resources during maintenance periods, keeping their operations running smoothly. It’s always interesting to see how equipment moves between departments and continues to serve in different communities.

Oxygen generator

The air we breathe is about 21% oxygen. Oxygen for industrial use is generated by separating oxygen molecules from the other molecules within a clean, dry compressed air stream. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a simple, reliable and cost-effective technology that enables continuous, high-capacity oxygen flow at the desired level of purity. Adsorption happens when atoms, ions or molecules from a substance (compressed air in this case) adhere to a surface of an adsorbent. PSA technology isolates oxygen molecules from other molecules (nitrogen, CO2, water vapor and trace gases) to leave high purity oxygen at the outlet of the generator. The process takes place in two separate pressure vessels (tower A and tower B), each filled with a carbon molecular sieve, that switch between a separation process and a regeneration process.
