Summer has arrived! At
least in the UK it arrived this last weekend.
To welcome this, we
have some stories about air conditioning for
people in factories,
and cooling systems for electronics racks. Plus
a FREE Prize Draw
from Vega on Processingtalk, to win a cool
water-park day out for
the family at Thorpe Park, where the water
splash is made
effective, memorable and photogenic with the help of
VegaBar
water level control: see the Top Ten stories below.
In the
UK, maybe the City Banks have air-conditioned offices, but
there
are few in the manufacturing industries that I know. The
opposite
is true in Japan, and an enormous amount of power is used by
air
conditioners: this is now a significant target for greenhouse gas
reduction efforts. The Government has specified that all public
and
private offices are to move their air-conditioner set points
up, to
28C, in an attempt to save energy and reduce the Japanese
output of
global warming gases. This is still swelteringly hot by
UK comfort
standards, but the second problem is to persuade the
Japanese
businessman to doff the dark jacket with collar and tie.
The
Government has decreed that between June and September
officials
should work in light clothes when possible. Mr Okuda,
the well
respected Chairman of Toyota, and leader of the Japanese
Business
Federation, has appeared in fashion shows with his
Toyota executives,
to encourage the introduction of more casual
office clothes, with no
ties. It is still going to be a long hot
Summer, in Japan!
I do not know if the US Government is
trying to save energy in the
same way: but Phil LaRocco of the
non-profit company E+Co in
Bloomfield (NJ) is trying to bring
simple green electricity to the
underdeveloped 33% of the World
population who do not have it, using
simple solar photovoltaic
panels. Since its creation in 1994 E+Co has
helped set up 120
businesses in 35 countries: these companies have
enabled nearly
two million people to get simple electricity supplies.

OUR TOP NEW PRODUCT SELECTION
====================================================================
[1] JOIN VEGA AND MAKE A SPLASH AT THORPE PARK!
(Vega
Controls UK, 16 Jun 2005)
Most level instruments Vega
supply are used in factories and
processing plants, working
reliably, out of sight. The Thorpe Park
"Loggers Leap" is one of
it's best known attractions and still has
the tallest drop in the
UK for a water flume ride. It was made famous
by pictures of a
'soaked' Princess Diana and her sons, who regularly
visited
Thorpe Park. Vega hydrostatic sensors 'VegaBar' have been in
operation on this important application since the park opened in
1990. The units work accurately over a span of only 3inches/75mm,
making sure guests at Park the water park enjoy every moment of
their
flume ride. Now you can try it for yourself this summer!
Vega,
Processingtalk and Thorpe Park are offering a family of 4
an entrance
ticket plus overnight family accommodation in a FREE
Prize Draw.

[2] BREEZAIR COOLS THE EMPLOYEE ENVIRONMENT
(Seeley
International Europe, 20 Jun 2005)
The installation of the
Breezair Evaporative Cooling System on a new
production line at
the Kingspan Insulation factory in Pembridge,
Herefordshire has
reduced summer temperatures from a sweltering 30C,
at the upper
levels of the factory, to a more comfortable 20 - 22C at
floor
level. Spectrum Air Systems has roof-mounted ten TBA Breezair
units, which are supported on a simple roof upstand, connected to
the
roof Z-purlins via a supporting H-frame. Installed around the
factory
to provide localised spot cooling to the production line
operators,
the units have introduced filtered air up to 6C below
ambient. They
have provided the operators with a cooler working
environment and the
benefit of humidified air, which provides a
fresh feeling in the
otherwise airless environment.

[3] SHOCKWAVE TECHNOLOGY HELPS SOFT DRINKS MIXING
(Pursuit
Dynamics, 16 Jun 2005)
The Pursuit Dynamics patented PDX
technology is delivering dramatic
process improvements and energy
savings to companies that use
thickening agents and stabilisers
in the production of soft drinks.
Dissolving these powdered
ingredients is often problematic. For
example, they can be slow
to hydrate, often requiring the base liquid
to be heated which
therefore consumes valuable process time and
energy. Pursuit
Dynamics offers its PDX shockwave technology that
pumps, mixes,
entrains and heats, all in one easy-to-clean process
that has no
moving parts. Several ingredients can be simultaneously
wetted
and hydrated thereby eliminating the need for pre-mixing.

[4] THERMAL IMAGER FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
(Fluke (UK),
20 Jun 2005)
The new Fluke Ti30 Thermal Imager is
specifically intended for
infrared preventive and predictive
maintenance at industrial and
large commercial property sites.
Infrared thermography is invaluable
to any maintenance programme
because a radiometric, thermal image
shows absolute temperatures
across a full, two-dimensional picture,
making problem
identification faster and more effective than with a
spot
thermometer or other measuring device. The rugged, portable
Fluke
Ti30 thermal imager is very straightforward to use, allowing
maintenance organisations to conduct periodic equipment
inspections
on their own schedule using in-house staff familiar
with the facility
and potential trouble spots.

[5] WIDE RANGE MASS FLOWMETER IS ATEX APPROVED
(Bronkhorst
, 20 Jun 2005)
Bronkhorst have announced that their
Cori-Flow liquid and gas mass
flow meter is now ATEX approved for
use in hazardous areas. The
Cori-Flow uses the Coriolis flow
measurement principle, making the
measurement independent of
fluid properties such as viscosity,
density or conductivity: it
is available in sizes that cover
measurements significantly below
20 grams/hour up to 600Kg/hr. The
ultra low flow capability
enables the Cori-Flow to be operated in
very low flow
applications such as dosing and blending or on pilot
plants. All
the Bronkhorst mass flow measurement and control systems
will be
on display at the 7th World Congress of Chemical Engineering
in
Glasgow (10th - 14th July).

[6] LOW FLOW METERS EXPAND CORIOLIS MEASUREMENT RANGE
(Emerson Process Management, 16 Jun 2005)
Emerson Process
Management has expanded the Coriolis range with the
new Micro
Motion LF-Series, a mass flowmeter family designed for low
flow
applications. The LF-Series deliver precise mass, volume,
temperature, and density measurement for liquids and gases in a
flow
range extending from 1 g/hr up to 28 kg/hr. With easy
installation in
small flow lines, and a small footprint (100 x
150mm), the LF-Series
is the ideal solution for precise
measurement and dosing of catalyst
feeds, flavours, fragrances
and tints in process applications, and
for research or pilot
plant scaled processes.

[7] pH/CONDUCTIVITY TRANSMITTER PROVIDES SIMPLICITY
(Endress+Hauser, 15 Jun 2005)
Life is complicated enough
without technology adding to the
day-to-day complexity of your
plant. That's why Endress+Hauser
Liquiline M is a pH/conductivity
transmitter with a guiding
philosophy at its heart: to make life
simpler. Why should dials be
difficult to see? Why shouldn't an
instrument be its own technical
manual? The Liquiline M addresses
both questions, with a large plain
text display that shows the
measured value in sensibly-sized figures
22mm high. It is also
easy to use, thanks to its new Navigator button
- a twisting dial
complete with an integrated 'enter' key. The
Navigator takes you
through parameter setting, servicing, diagnosis
and predictive
maintenance, with plain text format replacing bulky
manuals.

[8] ABB STANDARD DRIVES FOR EASY INSTALLATION AND USE
(ABB
Automation Technologies (Drives and Motors), 16 Jun 2005)
A
range of intuitive standard drives, designed to be sold
off-the-shelf with few optional extras, is available from ABB.
Standard drives are rated from 0.75 to 355 kW, 200 and 400 V.
They
are targeted at applications in the food and other
industries, such
as pumps, fans and conveyors, and have been
designed for reliability
and ease of use. The product has a range
of innovative user support
features, making it "the easiest drive
to install, commission and
use" according to Gary Busby, industry
manager for food and beverage
at ABB. The panel is as easy to
handle as a mobile phone and the
set-up can be done in seconds.
The drive has interfaces for all
common bus standards and
includes many other useful features such as
a fault logger and a
real-time clock.
