NoiseDesk - Airport Noise Made Easy

A key challenge facing all airports is how to grow whilst keeping control of noise impact and managing community expectations.

With the demand for aviation continuing to grow, it is regional airports that will supply the bulk of the future growth and they have the added challenge of needing to manage the issues with very limited resources.

To help take on this challenge, Brüel & Kjær has launched NoiseDesk specifically to manage airport noise in an intuitive way that doesn’t require specific airport noise expertise, simplifying the task for regional airports and enabling more sustainable growth.

NoiseDesk has made full use of Brüel & Kjær’s 40 years of experience as market leader for airport noise monitoring systems to produce an expert system that guides the user through the workflow of managing issues like track keeping, noise limits, complaint handling and noise compliance.

Delivered as a web-based service, NoiseDesk leaves the airport free to manage the noise issues without having to manage the technology around the noise monitoring system.

Using the underlying technology of our flagship application, ANOMS, NoiseDesk delivers high quality processing through an intuitive interface providing regional airports with an efficient and effective noise management program.

You can see NoiseDesk in November at ACI Airport Exchange in Abu Dhabi and at a range of other airport conferences worldwide into 2012. If you can’t wait, please contact your local Brüel & Kjær representative.

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.
