EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Passive vs Active AGSS

Hi,

Can anybody point me in the right direction of information to allow me to compare the 2 systems?
I understand that only active AGSS is fitted to new installations, but we have a mixture of systems here. I'd like some information to help me understand how the different systems affect the machines.
Thanks

Hello Highy
There is some information in the training pages:

Thanks John,

I've already seen that - I was after some more in depth info, particularly how passive systems would behave with large flow rates set on the machines as compared with an active system.

Sorry,
I don't have the experience to advise you. hopefully someone else does.
