Heating & cooling.Most of the news at the show is in fluid-circulating mold-temperature-control systems. And the watchwords are energy savings, smaller footprints, less maintenance, reduced water consumption, and quieter operation. This is the first NPE NPE NullPointerException (Java) NPE Network Processing Engine NPE National Policy on Education NPE National Plastics Exposition NPE Natural Penis Enlargement NPE Nutrition Program for the Elderly since the introduction of so-called "frictionless" central chillers with oil-less magnetic bearings on the compressor. They save energy, space, and maintenance, and they are very quiet. You'll see these remarkable new chillers at Thermal Care, AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission , and Sterling. Another cooling approach that's new to North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. is "dry cooling" without a cooling tower, introduced here by Frigel of Italy, whose new U.S. subsidiary recently opened near Chicago. Its EcoDry System is designed to save energy, water, and the maintenance hassles of operating a tower. This closed-circuit system runs only clean water through a unique air/water heat exchanger heat exchanger Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger. that uses outdoor ambient air for "free cooling" as much as possible (depending on the local climate) and also has a special adiabatic ad·i·a·bat·ic adj. Of, relating to, or being a reversible thermodynamic process that occurs without gain or loss of heat and without a change in entropy. mode for hot weather. The latter sprays a fine mist of water that evaporates instantly to moisten and cool the heat-exchange air. No scale is deposited either inside or outside the cooling circuit. Plantwide supply of clean water cooled Refers to a cooling system that uses water. Similar to a car, systems for electronics circulate water in a loop, through a cooling radiator, to all of the heat sources. In personal computers, the hottest devices are the CPU chip and GPU chip (the processor on the display adapter). by ambient air is supplemented by small chillers or TCUs at each process machine. Depending on ambient conditions and process needs, those local units can automatically select the energy-saving EcoDry circuit to send ambient-cooled water directly to the molds when further cooling is not required. More new and improved chillers and TCUs are being shown by AEC, Advantage Engineering, Matsui, Mokon, Motan, Star Automation, and Wittmann. Burger & Brown Engineering has a new water/oil flowmeter See flow meter. . Meanwhile, Automatic Filters, Burger & Brown, Motan, and TowerKlean all have new water treatment/filtration systems; and Motan is showing a new hot-oil system cleaner. Little in the way of new electric heating Electric heating Methods of converting electric energy to heat energy by resisting the free flow of electric current. Electric heating has several advantages: it can be precisely controlled to allow a uniformity of temperature within very narrow limits; it is elements was announced in advance of the show--an exception being energy-saving high-temperature heater bands from Fast Heat. Meet new suppliers Apart from Frigel, U.S. processors will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with other less familiar international suppliers of fluid temperature-control systems, such as Cimco of Canada, Ningbo Fangli and Ningbo Huare of China, Yann Bang of Taiwan, Bry-Air Asia and Dynamic Engineers of India, PSG/Frigotrol and Single of Germany, and Tool-Temp of Switzerland. Meanwhile, PEP Filters is introducing the Spin Klin Disc water filter from Arkal Filtration Systems in Israel. In addition, at least four domestic suppliers--Motan, Colortronic, Comet Automation, and Universal Dynamics (under the name H20 Engineered Water Systems)--recently brought out their first lines of fluid temperature-control systems. And Mokon has expanded its line beyond chillers and TCUs into cooling towers. Process Cooling Systems cooling systems for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used. , a supplier of customized process-cooling systems, is bringing out a line of fiberglass cooling towers.
