Exhaust system

The patent pending Strobic Air® Smart Fan™ is designed to maintain safe ventilation levels while minimizing facility energy costs and carbon footprint in “safety critical” ventilation applications. The fan senses pressure changes as system demand changes and continually adjusts fan speed to produce optimal flow. In multi-fan applications, fans are cycled on and off as required. Additionally, the system can sense a fan failure and turn on a standby fan to maintain safe exhaust operations.

Manhole monitoring

Weidmuller’s wireless solution acts as a monitoring system from a sewer manhole to a customer’s existing SCADA system. Components include a compact 900 MHz wireless transmitter (WI-I/O-9-K), coupled with a matching battery pack (WI-BP-I/O-9-K), which uses standard AA Alkaline batteries. The wireless transmitter sends analog and discrete signals to a wireless transceiver (WI-I/O 9-4). This unit collects the data from the transmitter and forwards it to a customer’s SCADA application. The easy-to-use programming software for the wireless devices is provided for free via web down load, and simplifies the process of mapping the transmission of signals and control transmit schedules, prolonging battery life.

Wear protection systems

Abresist has introduced two new Keraflex wear protection systems, consisting of Alresist® high alumina ceramics or Kalmetall®W hard overlay welding plates vulcanized to a steel base. These systems are suited where high abrasion and impact occur in combination. Maximum operating temperature is 176°F/80°C. Keraflex reduces noise and is especially well suited for use in transfer chutes in belt conveyor systems and impact zones in bunkers and silos. These wear protection systems are produced in standard panels, up to 20" square, with welded studs or countersunk bolting attachments.

Pressure sensors

Kavlico offers two pressure sensors for wastewater treatment systems which meet the NSF/ANSI Standard 61. Wastewater systems require all waste to be pumped from lift stations to the wastewater treatment facility. Kavlico’s P350 pressure sensor can be used to notify personnel of drops or rises in pump pressure which would be cause for alarm. The company’s P356 pressure sensor can be used to monitor flow.
