TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
KNX features at the Crystal
A
t the heart of the Siemens Crystal building in London's Royal Victoria Docks, is a Siemens Desigo building energy management system (BEMS) from Siemens, a KNX UK member. It controls the building to ensure it operates in the most energy efficient manner. Meeting room chilled beams, trench heating, blinds and lighting are controlled using devices on a KNX network. A combination of occupancy and CO2 sensors in the meeting rooms put these areas at their “day” setpoints only when a room is occupied. All of this can be controlled via room units, and occupants can use third party touch screens in each meeting room. This total room automation solution balances energy efficiency with occupant comfort. The Crystal has achieved both BREEAM Outstanding and LEED Platinum certification and is the first building in the world to reach the top rating in both systems.

New SEAT S50: Powerful Protection from Hazardous Fumes
P
owerful, energy saving and quiet, it’s hard to ask for more from a fume extraction fan but the new SEAT S50 has all those attributes and more. Designed for exhausting fumes from hazardous manufacturing processes, the S50 is the latest
addition to SEAT’s S Series and can support perilous processes such as PCB manufacturing, component washing and etching. Fitted with a backward curved impeller, the S50 can produce a high pressure but with low noise and impressive efficiency. The fan’s polypropylene construction makes it ideal for use in highly corrosive environments and chemical industry applications, safeguarding workers from potentially harmful gases. End users that require an externally fitted system can rest in the comfort that the UV treated polypropylene will be protected from the erratic British sunshine.

AGO's new 2857 Series JUMPFLEX® transducers feature a uniform contour design compatible with its existing 857
Series. Commoning of the power supply for all widths saves the time and effort of wiring each single component. They are designed for an expanded temperature range of -25 to +70 degrees Celsius. Marking strips and WMB and WMB Inline markers can be used and the individual connecting clamps can be marked using the Micro-WSB system. Besides DIP switches, software for the PC and an app for smartphones, the newly developed display is also a special feature of these devices. This removable display can be easily attached to the housing and comes equipped with a capacitive touch panel for intuitive configuration of the devices. The display can switch between different colours to show the current status.

Energy-efficient modular chargers T
he new Hawker® LifeTech® Modular and Hawker® Life IQ™ Modular high-frequency battery chargers from EnerSys® deliver increased flexibility, efficiency and reliability with reduced downtime, costs and carbon footprint across a wide range of materials handling, automatic guided vehicle and motive power applications. They reduce energy consumption by up to 25 per cent compared with conventional chargers and can cut charging times by up to two hours. Single-phase and three-phase modules are available in a range of configurations with outputs from 12 to 80V for use with any batteries with a corresponding charging profile including models from the Hawker XFC™ and Hawker Waterless® ranges. The chargers
are configured using a number of identical power modules so that performance can be matched to the specific application requirement. This allows installations to be optimised to take full advantage of all of the energy-efficiency and battery-life benefits of high-frequency charging.

FDA-approved gasket rings
BM is now able to supply a selection of gasket rings, such as O-rings, made of NBR gasket
material that meet the highest hygiene requirements to complement its PW27 platform load cell. The gaskets have excellent cold flexibility and very good resistance against contamination by grease and oil.
In addition HBM also supplies EPDM gaskets that can be used under high application and cleaning temperatures and where acids or alkalis are used for cleaning. The heads of fastening screws can also be protected against potential contamination with gaskets designed with an external sealing bead made of EPDM elastomer. HBM’s PW27 is the world’s first platform load cell supplied with an EHEDG certificate that acknowledges its ability to provide optimal hygiene safety in the food sector with high weighing accuracy.
