Maximizing Cooling-Tower Water Efficiency
With a nominal efficiency of 0.2 kw per ton, evaporative cooling towers are among the most energy-efficient and cost-effective technologies for rejecting waste heat from air conditioning and other heat-exchange processes to the atmosphere. In the process, however, they use significant volumes of water. This article will discuss practical water-conservation opportunities for cooling towers. Click here for more information.
10 Millionth Drive for Yaskawa
Yaskawa Electric America Inc., the Waukegan, Ill.-based manufacturer of alternating-current drives, servomotors, motion controllers, and robotics, recently laid claim to being the first company in the world to ship 10 million variable-frequency drives. The 10 millionth drive was from Yaskawa's V1000 line. It took the company 19 years to cross the 1-million-drive mark, nine more years to cross the 5-million-drive mark, and only five more years to cross the 10-million-drive mark.

***Model QEM Plenum Fan***
SCHOFIELD, WI: Greenheck's Model QEM plenum fan is ideal for lower pressure supply or return air handling applications where first cost is critical. The QEM features a 12-bladed airfoil wheel that reduces both energy consumption and sound levels. Compared to other plenum fans in the market, the QEM has a more compact footprint that requires less floor space for installation. Available in both belt and direct drive, Model QEM can be specified with a wide range of accessories including inlet guards, protective cages and isolators. ---Greenheck Fan Corp.
***Thermally Controlled "Spot Cooling" Fan***
DALLAS, TX: Providing industrial design engineers with a quick, inexpensive and convenient solution to the problem of "hot spots" within enclosures, Orion Fans has developed a series of plug-in thermally controlled fans that can be added to any existing electronic cabinet to direct increased airflow to specific areas that are experiencing elevated temperatures. These "spot cooling" fans are supplied with a standard NEMA 5-15P AC plug-in transformer, giving enclosure manufacturers the ability to add them anywhere within their cabinets. The spot cooling fans are available from stock in 92mm x 25mm and 120mm x 32mm sizes; but Orion will develop them based on any standard fan size and airflow required by customers. ---Orion Fans
