Pointfuse Laser Scanning Software Powers Design of Formula One E-Racer Plane

Pointfuse is helping engineers design and develop an electric plane that will take part in the Air Race E competition later this year. The world’s first electric air race will see eight international teams, including Canada based Team Outlaw, simultaneously race electric aircraft around a 5km circuit, just 10 meters above the ground and at speeds of up to 450kmh. Using as-built plans created from laser scanned data and processed using Pointfuse, Team Outlaw are planning to replace the traditional motor with a battery powered electric unit before competing in the race which is described as NASCAR in the air.

NEW HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONTINUOUS EXTRACT FAN OFFERS BUILDING REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE

To help landlords and installers comply with Building Regulations, Elta Fans has expanded its de-centralised mechanical extract ventilation (dMEV) fan range with the introduction of the MORI dMEV II 150HT.

Elta Fans’ dMEV range provides ultra-quiet, low-energy ventilation for use in kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, en-suites and toilets. These continuously running units are designed to provide improved performance over intermittent extract fans for the existing homes market, as they are able to provide a guaranteed ventilation rate and do not have a high dependency on background ventilators, such as trickle vents in windows.

NSK´s Condition Monitoring Service saves €34,500 at pump manufacturer

When a manufacturer of centrifugal pumps for water-treatment applications was developing a new high-speed design, it could not understand why test-rig trials indicated a higher running temperature than the original concept. Duly concerned, the company contacted NSK, which sent an AIP+ (Added Value Programme) expert to the company´s site in France to perform a full vibration analysis. NSK´s investigation, which was carried out as part of its Condition Monitoring Service (CMS) that analyses the health of bearings and associated components, saved the customer €34,500.S032018-N-

ECS Engineering Services delivers 49 duct cradles for nuclear power station

ECS’ in-house fabrication department has recently completed the manufacture of 49 steel duct cradles destined for the main reactor building at a UK nuclear power plant. Each of the duct cradles required fabrication to the highest standards, with ECS engineers delivering all of the structures within six months.

Supplying steelwork to the nuclear sector is a demanding project for a fabricator. ECS is accredited to provide steelwork under BS EN 1090 for CE marking up to Execution Class 4 (EXC4). EXC4 is applicable only to facilities of the highest consequence class, such as nuclear power stations. This accreditation ensured ECS could offer the required quality of steel fabrication and welding procedures to carry out the project effectively.

High-performance ceramic for oxygen measurements

Kyocera’s subsidiary, Kyocera Fineceramics Solutions GmbH, formerly part of Friatec GmbH, develops robust oxygen sensors for managing combustion in industrial processes.

Research heralds ‘step change’ in fluid injection injury care

Medical research commissioned by the Water Jetting Association has led to the publication of the most comprehensive guidance ever created for the management of high-pressure fluid injection injuries.

The guidance is set to transform the emergency medical response to fluid injection injuries, where fluids enter the body by piercing the skin, greatly reducing the risk of death, long-term disability or unnecessarily prolonged periods of recovery.

Where There’s A Mill, There’s A Way: Babcock Wanson Provides Urgent Process Heaters For Flour Miller

Babcock Wanson has supplied flour millers Whitworth Bros. Ltd. with two TPC Thermal Fluid Heaters for its flour heat treatment process at its Barlby Road, Selby site.

A new customer for Babcock Wanson, Whitworth Bros. had been using another manufacturer’s thermal fluid heater, originally installed in 2004 as part of a complete process install project. “Support from the other company had been very poor over the years” states Alan Boyce, Whitworth Bros. Engineering Manager, “and in August 2018 the heater suffered a catastrophic failure of the heating coils rendering it useless.” With the incumbent company unable to supply a swift solution, and Whitworth Bros. productivity directly affected, they turned to Babcock Wanson.
