Coolant circuits must dissipate heat from applications such as welding or power-electronics installations. This requires high flowrates within a compact space. This company has extended its Liquidline by designing two energy-optimized coolant connections that exceed the flowrates of previous Liquidline…
Dickow Pump No cooling water needed for these hot-water pumps This company offers a wide range of hot-water pumps for temperatures up to 530°F and design pressures up to 1,160 psi. Due to high vapor pressures, standard mechanical seals cannot…
The Type 3738 electonic valve-position monitor can be used with on/off valves across a wide range of applications, and enables valve-position monitors to be configured at the push of a button. The device features a contactless, magnetoresistive sensor system that…
Researchers at the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s (DOE) Ames Laboratory (Ames, Iowa; www.ameslab.gov) led by Ryan Ott have developed a process for recovering rare-earth (RE) metals from magnet scraps. The process involves first crushing neodymium-iron-boron magnet scraps and placing the…
For the first time, it has become possible to spin carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a fiber that looks and acts like textile threads, yet has the electrical conductivity and strength of a metal. The breakthrough, which came after more than…
Determining the proper preliminary size for centrifugal pumps during the initial stages of any pump-specification exercise requires numerous calculations and assumptions. This article reviews the steps needed to size centrifugal pumps during the early stages of a project, to support…
The new Hard Seat VHS Micro-Dispense Valve offers repeatable, non-contact dispensing of fluids in the nano- to microliter range. It features a precision zirconia ball and seat instead of a traditional elastomeric seal, thereby ensuring resistance to aggressive fluids, such…
An Australian team has developed a new molecular sieve that allows carbon dioxide molecules to be trapped and stored. Contrary to the way molecular sieves usually work, allowing smaller molecules through, the new sieve acts like a trapdoor, and allows…
Designed for flow chemistry applications, the patented Asia Syringe Pump is said to give users a tool for performing flow reactions not possible using HPLC pumps or “single-shot” syringe pumps. Used in combination with the Asia Pressurized Input Store, the…
Tygon S3 (safe, smart and sustainable) is said to be the first bio-based and phthalate-free tubing, and is the next generation of flexible tubing from this company for food and beverage manufacturers. Tygon S3 complies with FDA, NSF and 3-A…
