Innovative adhesives for the solar industry

At the 26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference in Hamburg, Henkel will be presenting powerful solutions spanning the entire value chain. To meet the market challenges, Henkel develops innovative adhesives and sealants, because extremely productive manufacturing processes and new concepts for saving materials and energy are vital to the future viability of the solar industry. Customers looking for more information regarding the innovations or who would like to talk to an adhesives or sealants expert will find Henkel in Hall B6, Stand B11.

Visitors to this year’s EU PVSEC can look forward to the presentation of new trends and developments in the photovoltaic industry. As the leading global manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, Henkel will also be there presenting an extensive product portfolio for the automated production of solar modules.

High-tech adhesives for the photovoltaic industry

With solutions from Terostat and Loctite Henkel provides the photovoltaic industry with powerful adhesives, sealants and cleaners for the production and installation of solar modules. For instance outstanding and reliable results are ensured by high-strength frame bondings that are ready for transport within a few minutes or durable and highly resistant backrail bondings.

Weather-resistant PV Backsheets with Liofol

Furthermore, specialists at Henkel will display different adhesive solutions for backsheets used in PV solar modules. With two-component PUR systems developed under the Liofol brand, the world number one in sealants and adhesives has now applied its entire expertise in laminating technology to solving the problems of the solar industry.

Conductive adhesives for the production of solar modules
At the EU PVSEC Henkel will also display conductive adhesives for modern thin-film and crystalline silicon (c-Si) module assembly. These advances address the low stress, faster cure speeds and lower temperature curing requirements.

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.
