Virtual Showroom Shows Alfa Laval Products in 3D

Alfa Laval has revealed that customers can now obtain 3D interactive previews of new products for the energy, environment and food industries on the re-launched Virtual Showroom. The Virtual Showroom, which is viewable at Alfa Laval's website, currently displays seven of the company's latest products. Using 3D imagery, the showroom provides visitors with a 360deg overview of each product accompanied by concise details of each product's features and benefits.

The Virtual Showroom is available in 50 country/language versions and includes features such as films, customer testimonials and downloads for the company's products. Typical of these is the Aldec G3 Decanter, which enables sewage treatment plants to process 10 per cent more sludge while consuming up to 40 per cent less energy compared to the previous version. Another product launch designed to save energy costs is the Brew 2001 brewery separator.

Equipped with the E-drive, Alfa Laval said the Brew 2001 can save large breweries around EUR25,000 (GBP21,250) per year in energy costs. The Compabloc 120 is another example of Alfa Laval technology being used to reduce energy consumption and cut CO2 emissions. One Canadian refinery has cut annual fuel costs and slashed carbon emissions by replacing bulky shell-and-tube heat exchangers with compact Compabloc 120 heat exchangers.

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.
