Softinway Offers Turbomachinery Training Courses

Softinway is offering a series of online turbomachinery training courses that allow engineers to enhance their expertise and consult industry specialists without leaving their offices. The first two online courses - entitled 'Axial Turbine' and 'Axial Compressor' - have already been scheduled. The aim of the online training is to familiarise engineers with the design, analysis and optimisation of turbomachinery flowpath through lectures, tutorials, practical exercises, the reviewing of home tasks and consultation with instructors. 

As a strong emphasis is placed on practice, on completion of the online training all participants will be able to perform such tasks as preliminary flowpath design, map generation, optimisation using Design of Experiment, profiling, 3D blade design and the analysis of an existing turbine/compressor. The programme includes 16 hours of study (two hours per day) as well as the time the attendees need to perform home tasks. All sessions are recorded, providing quick access to the course's contents. 

 This approach enables individuals to leverage their time to save precious working hours and allows companies to organise in-service education for employees, reducing travel expenses and boosting productivity. The courses are targeted at engineers involved in design and optimisation of axial/radial turbomachinery, technical managers responsible for product-range development and engineering students who want to accelerate the speed of learning and gain a solid educational background to succeed in their job search, according to Softinway. The online courses are a part of the company's educational programme, which also includes intensive onsite training for professional mechanical and aerospace engineers, introductory seminars and free one-hour webinars.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
