Honeywell Partners with Korea’s Kangnam University for Green Campus Model

Honeywell has signed a Green Partnership Agreement with Kangnam University (KNU) in South Korea to implement conservation measures that will reduce energy use on campus by almost 35% and cut greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption by nearly 30% each by 2015.  The project supports the Korean Association for the Green Campus Initiative which aims to support environmentally responsible facilities that not only comply with new government regulations emphasizing energy accountability, but also to inspire a new generation of students to care about the environmental impacts of their energy use.

Honeywell Energy Manager, in combination with Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator, will be installed to facilitate and analyze the energy consumption data from more than 35,000 points in 16 buildings across the 49-acre campus. The system enables the university to adjust lighting and temperature set points based on occupancy levels and time of day.  Honeywell engineers will also install new boilers and other heating equipment for the dormitories to replace older, inefficient models, and implement water recycling conservation measures that are expected to save up to 81,000 liters of water per year. Phase one of the three-phase project, which is expected to reduce energy usage by 15%, cut greenhouse gas emissions by 13%  and lower university operating costs by 18%, will be complete in April 2013. 

“While environmentalism and sustainability can be somewhat abstract themes, at Honeywell we help our customers bring together the technologies and services that turn these aspirations into results,” said MoonSung Kim, general manager of Honeywell Building Solutions Korea. “It’s about understanding how and where you consume energy, and about what you to do change those behaviors. We have a focused strategy on helping universities implement energy and conservation measures and can leverage our global expertise as well as our regional skill sets to do so. We’re delighted to partner with KNU to be at the forefront of change.”

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
