June 02 Regenerative Blowers Provide Quiet Office Solution Rotron SW Minispiral regenerative blowers provide low-noise solutions for developing ideal air pressures and vacuums in office equipment and other applications with small design envelopes. These instrument-grade blowers perform quietly (to NC-47 office equipment specifications), feature lightweight construction at 1.9lb (0.86kg), and measure 106.2 x 46.5mm. Their regenerative air technology generates pressures or vacuums using a spinning, non-contacting, oil-free impeller. Blower design and simple operation contribute to cleaner, safer, more reliable, and virtually maintenance-free pneumatics. These blowers can be specified in three DC versions offering maximum flow variability and in AC versions available in voltages ranging from 24-230AC, depending on model. They incorporate a glass-filled moulded phenolic blower housing, cover, and impeller and a shaded pole motor with ball bearings promoting up to 30,000h of service life. SE Minispiral blowers can achieve maximum flows up to 9 SCFM and pressures and vacuums up to 20 IWG, depending on blower style. All versions are ISO 9001 and CE compliant and can be customised as sealed units or with a range of options and accessories to satisfy application requirements. Perkinelmer Unveils Cool Eye Thermopile Line Array Perkinelmer introduced the Cool Eye thermopile line array for energy conservation and indoor climate control at Sensor + Test 2009 in Germany on 26-28 May. The thermopile line array detector is designed to meet applications that require low-resolution 3D thermal images capable of resolving humans and small animals without the use of expensive, high-resolution, infrared-imaging cameras.Perkinelmer's 16-element thermopile array features increased sensitivity, providing improvements in temperature resolution, thus enhancing energy conservation by up to 30 per cent in HVAC applications. The company claims that Cool Eye offers greater flexibility as a result of microcontroller integration and is easier for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate into their overall system. |
