The Unkai protein skimmer is a radical new product from the creative minds at Perfect Reef Systems Japan. Better known as PRS, this think-tank makes very original aquarium products like the Corrente digital flow meter, their Auto Zeolite reactor, but the Unkai skimmer is their most ambitious project to date.
使Unkai撇渣器如此有趣的原因是,它将蛋白质撇油器的许多最进步的想法和特征融入了一个单元中,我们以前从未见过一些新想法。如果您正在寻找一种易于使用的蛋白质脱脂机,则UNKAI不是您的型号。但是,如果您是一个顽固的控制狂,想要一只热棒蛋白撇渣器,具有当前技术必须提供的所有最新功能,那么您很幸运。
首先,PRS使用内部泵和开放式焊接设计了Unkai撇渣器。该车身是现已标准的酒杯形状,它使用无管道设计,以保持底漆中的占地面积很小,UNKAI由PRS日本自己的3相可控制的直流泵提供动力。
我们以前曾见过开放式展览弹药器,而且它们似乎还没有比常规蛋白质撇渣器显示出任何真正的优势,但PRS才刚刚开始。对于初学者而言,该针头的叶轮实际上是一个带有交织的三角形图案的3D打印的网格轮,这是我们在网格轮中看到的最详细的。
仅上述功能就足以将UNKAI撇渣器放在我们的雷达上,但现在是撇渣器开始得到的really有趣的。像其他开放式静脉撇渣器一样,我们已经看到Unkai摄入量直接在蛋白质撇渣器身体下,但PRS Japan也走了一步。
这还不够,您可以控制的速度the pump and the outflow from the skimmer body, but PRS went ahead and made not one, but two controls for the intake of the protein skimmer. One control knob adjusts the water inlet to the skimmer pump, and the other adjusts the venturi’s intake, and therefore the air drawn into the skimmer – by finessing the both of these controls, users can fine tune the ratio of air to water drawn into the skimmer in a way that no other protein skimmer has ever even attempted.
This approach to tuning the ratio of air to water is possible with the adjustment screw on some Royal Exclusive protein skimmers but with two separate dials PRS Japan has made it a hallmark feature of the Unkai protein skimmer. As if all of these neat tricks weren’t enough, PRS Japan designed the Unkai with adjustable feet so you can adjust the height of the entire skimmer relative to the height of the water level it’s placed in, and there’s also an optional neck extension for increasing the height when used in sumps with deeper water level.
令人惊讶的是,将第一个数字水流量计带到水族馆爱好尚未包括的公司气流计in their masterpiece. But I think once they read this they will quickly realize their omission and hustle to develop an airflow meter as an option or an add-on (I hope!).
If all this seems like too many features to keep up with, PRS already has a trio of demo videos showing how the two different control knobs work to adjust the water inlet and the venturi inlets on the underside of the skimmer. PRS is currently working to build the Unkai Skimmer which should be released later this summer and a retail price hasn’t yet been formally announced. [日本PRS这是给予的
