Honeywell Launches Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent in Japan

Honeywell has launched its new Solstice™ Liquid Blowing Agent in Japan, where it has the potential to be used in spray foam insulation, insulated metal panels and refrigerator insulation.

The product offers exceptional benefits over hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents including a global-warning potential of less than 5, which is significant because most commonly used HFC blowing agents have a global warming potential of 700 to 1000 or more. Solstice™ Liquid Blowing Agent also provides superior insulating capabilities, no impact to the ozone layer, non-flammability and low toxicity.

"Japan presents an exciting opportunity for Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent, as it is phasing out high-global-warming products," said Sanjeev Rastogi, business director of Structural Enclosures, Fluorine Products. "Our partnership with a local producer is helping to supply the product to meet the increased demand for field trials and customer evaluations."

Honeywell Fluorine Products is in the process of commercializing Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent globally.

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

Model QLS Quad Loop Splitter Splits One 4-20 mA Current Loop into 4 Independent Loops

Image
Model QLS Quad Output Loop Splitter / Retransmittersources up to four (4) independently adjustable 4-20 mA outputs from a single input, which can be 4-20 mA, 1-5V, 0-5V or 0-10V, as selected by jumpers. The outputs can share a common ground. The input and outputs are mutually isolated to ±10V by means of active circuitry to accommodate differences in local grounds with normal industrial grounding practices. If any device in an output loop is removed from a loop or fails, or if a wiring fault occurs, the other loops continue to operate properly. Each loop only drives a single load, avoiding compliance problems. Model QLS overcomes problems associated with the common industrial wiring practice where the same 4-20 mA signal from a transmitter is sent to multiple devices in series. In such a circuit, the devices in the loop cannot share a common ground, but must be electrically floating, which is often not possible. When any device in the loop is removed, fails or if a wiring fault occur
