Presented here are equations governing heat transfer in a moving-bed heat exchanger, along with a numerical method for solving them Moving-bed heat exchangers (MBHE) represent an efficient method for heating or cooling bulk-solid materials compared to other technologies, such as…
The new Rosemount 8800 Quad Vortex flowmeter (photo) is specifically designed to meet stringent safety standards in environments and applications that require safety instrumented systems (SIS). The flowmeter is said to be the first in the industry with quadruple sensors…
This company has expanded its HiLobe series Roots pumps (photo), which are available in a broad spectrum of pumping speeds and applications. HiLobe Roots pumps are particularly suited for rapid evacuations (lock chambers or leak-detection systems) and for general coating…
Genesis Network (photo) is a new system that provides site-wide operational awareness and supervisory control of heat-trace systems. Users can easily monitor, maintain and troubleshoot even the largest heat-trace systems that may include over 10,000 heat-trace circuits. The Genesis Network…
The Mac SpaceSaver dust collector (photo) is said to be up to 75% smaller than traditional dust collectors, offering a superior cleaning mechanism and long-lasting, leak-free cartridges. With a footprint as small as (27 ✕ 38) in.2, the Mac SpaceSaver…
The new NGMs 1–3 range of nitrogen generators (photo) features membrane technology and offers a highly efficient, compact and simple on-site solution for low-flow N2 requirements, with the added benefits of minimal maintenance and operational costs. There are three models…
Washdown-ready, smooth-body gear units, motors and variable frequency drives (photo) bring an innovative alternative to expensive, bulky stainless steel, while nsd tupH provides these units with even greater protection for food. The nsd tupH sealed-surface conversion system is not a…
The new CDS Series of non-metallic, curved-top motor-disconnect switches (photo) features a curved profile to eliminate standing water and minimize contaminant buildup in food processing and cleanroom operating environments. In addition to its curved profile, the CDS Series features a…
Two new models have been added to this company’s Sitrans LR100 series of 80-GHz radar transmitters (photo). These high-frequency, compact transmitters deliver reliable measurements even in challenging environments. Sitrans LR140 features 4–20-mA simplicity and is configured via Bluetooth wireless technology…
