Babcock Wanson launches energy efficient Optimo 2 burners with exceptionally low emissions


F Crowcon


launches its Xgard Bright addressable fixed-point gas detector with display


and toxic gas detection and oxygen monitoring. Crowcon’s Louise Early explains, “We originally


C


developed the Xgard Bright specifically for China four years ago and due to its success, particularly in regard to its addressable functionality, we have now released Xgard Bright internationally.”


Key Facts: • Three-wire addressable – reduces the amount of cabling for installation so reducing cost and improving speed of installation


• Non-intrusive calibration – reduces the amount of time people spend in hazardous locations and removes the need for hot work permits


• Local back-lit display – ensures local visibility of status and gas readings, speed up implementation and maintenance routines


• Oxygen, toxic and flammable sensing options from the same detector head – reducing training time and cost

ollowing a substantial research project with the aim of reducing exhaust gas emissions and improving the energy efficiency of


burners, Babcock Wanson is pleased to announce the first of its new burners borne of this project: Optimo 2. Optimo 2 is designed as a fully configurable stand alone burner


for medium size firetube Steam Boilers ranging from 2 to 4t/h output. Optimo 2 burners are available from 1500 to 3500kW output for new Steam Boilers and also as a retrofit solution to upgrade existing boilers to meet enhanced emission requirements. Designed with a high-performance combustion head, Optimo 2 emission


rates are less than 100mg/Nm3 NOx throughout the firing range when burning natural gas. Optimo 2 not only meets the requirements of the Medium Plant Combustion (MCP)

Keep your cool with the HardCap Aerolite® T


the lightest best performing full shell Bump Cap available


he HardCap AeroLite® from JSP is the lightest, best performing, full shell Bump Cap on the market weighing


less than 135g without compromising on performance. It is designed to be worn in work environments where there is a risk of impact to the front, top and also scrapes to the side of the head from stationary objects. The sleek textile cover has large open weaved panels to


facilitate the transfer of cool air to the head reducing heat build-up and discomfort making it one of the coolest caps on the market. Underneath the textile cover is a tough HDPE shell and a lightweight EPP impact liner offering class leading impact performance. The Polygiene® treated sweatband and foam-cushion comfort pads guard against the growth of bacteria, fungus and mildew reducing skin irritations and odours and therefore requiring less washing.

ew modular, solid-state fuse units from ifm electronic give the user much greater control over their circuits.


Modules in the DF system control single or dual channels with loads up to 10A per channel, and up to eight modules can be attached to the base unit. The DF series uses the latest IO-Link technology for


bidirectional communication with the PLC. This allows the user to enable each channel independently, allowing a phased start-up of a complex system, for example, to avoid a big inrush that would otherwise trip a traditional fuse. If a trip does occur, the circuity can also be reset remotely. Data exchange also leads to more information about the


machine; the DF will tell the PLC the actual current and voltage of each channel, so the power consumption is split down to individual circuits.
