Honeywell Intelligent Building Solutions Selected to Streamline Building Operations in China’s Wangjing SOHO

Honeywell has signed an $8.3 million contract with SOHO China for the Wangjing SOHO project to provide intelligent, integrated building solutions, focused on creating an efficient, comfortable, green landmark. Honeywell will provide its Attune™ Advisory Services to conduct real-time monitoring and management to streamline Wangjing SOHO’s building operations and identify opportunities to improve building operations, management and services over the life-cycle of this project.

Wangjing SOHO is situated in the heart of Wangjing, Zhaoyang District, Beijing, and covers 115,000 square meters. The building is composed of three high-rise mixed-use office and commercial buildings, and three low-rise commercial buildings. Upon completion in 2014, Wangjing SOHO is expected to become a base for multinational headquarters in China, where many Fortune 500 head offices will gather as well as place for the people of Beijing to shop and relax.

Through the Attune service, Honeywell’s team of expert will consolidate building data and propose actionable plans on how to best reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs, while increasing energy and operation efficiency. Honeywell will also perform real-time tracking and analysis of Wangjing SOHO’s energy use in order to promptly identify and solve problems to truly achieve proper building optimization. The Wangjing SOHO’s building design and construction will be in accordance with U.S. Green Building Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards to create an energy efficient, water efficient, comfortable and intelligent green building.

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.
