Parker Gas Generators for Life-Sciences Sector

Parker Hannifin has signed a strategic partnership with life-science analytical solutions provider AB Sciex to enhance its distribution network for its Parker Balston LCMS gas generators. Under the agreement, AB Sciex will resell, install and service the Parker technologies, allowing the company to penetrate the European and Asian markets. Parker has provided a comprehensive training and support suite to the AB Sciex field sales and service groups, forming part of a long-term programme for both companies to develop new technologies for the life-sciences sector.

Parker's laboratory gas generators have been specifically designed to meet and exceed the gas flow, purity and pressure requirements of the latest generation of LC/MS instruments. Indeed, these systems deliver pure nitrogen for curtain gas, pure zero grade air as gas-1/gas-2 source gases and dry -40C dew-point air as source exhaust, at flow rates ranging from 12l/minute to 40l/minute. Although supplied as complete systems, the modular nature of the units provides flexibility to allow single or multiple instruments to be used.

Using the pressure swing absorption technique, the high-performance generators provide a continuous stream of clean, dry nitrogen without the need for secondary purification and are fully compatible with all known APCI and ESI interfaces. Gas distribution, pressure, and flow control are integral to each generator, therefore eliminating the requirement for secondary gas pressure or gas management systems. The Parker Balston gas generators eliminate the need for high-pressure nitrogen and zero air cylinders.

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.
