“Superheater” Vaporizers for Alternative Energy Systems
Chromalox, a leading manufacturer of electric heat and control products, has improved the heating capability and corrosion resistance of its horizontal electric vaporizers to create “superheater” technology to support production of materials for alternative energy systems. The enhancements allow the production process to vaporize materials rather than heating them in a furnace.
Chromalox horizontal electric vaporizers are designed to transfer heat at high temperatures and low pressures and are pre-engineered, pre-wired, and pre-piped for flexible, dependable and efficient operation. The recent enhancements to the technology open up new applications for these vaporizers, including hydrocarbon vaporizing.

EASYchange Online Removable Brush Holder
Cutsforth Products’ founder, Dave Cutsforth, has discovered that most problems that occur in the generator doghouse (including carbon deposits in brush box, poor terminal connections, brush binding in the holder, poor spring tension, and brush box erosion) can be traced to the brush holder itself. Any of these problems can lead to collector ring and commutator damage, poor brush life, possible catastrophic damage, and/or forced outages. The Cutsforth EASYchange Brush Holder System was designed to address each of these problems keeping you online and on time.
There are over 4,000 EASYchange brush holders operating without a single failure. See why the United States’ second-largest producer of power is in the process of retrofitting 50+ generators with EASYchange. Our holder addresses the seven most common problems with brush holders and rings. Imagine having one brush, one brush holder, and one mount for all units in your company plants, regardless of the foreign or domestic generator manufacturer.

EOvation Security Center
The Ovation® Security Center from
Emerson Process Management makes it easier for Emerson’s power generation customers to manage the execution of cyber-security measures related to compliance with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection standards. The Ovation Security Center is tightly integrated into the company’s industry-leading Ovation expert control system. The Ovation Security Center’s centrally located console streamlines management of the following security functions:
• Security event collection and threat identification
• Patch deployment and audit
• Malware detection and prevention
• Event log storage and reporting
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Data back-up and recovery
• Vulnerability assessment and management
The Security Center’s event management capability provides a centralized event collection, event correlation, and threat identification function for security-related events in an Ovation control system. Security events are collected from each network device, including network intrusion detection systems, firewalls, routers, switches, servers, workstations, controllers, and Security Center application modules. Critical security events that require plant personnel intervention are forwarded to a notification function, such as the Ovation alarm system, an e-mail or pager.
Simpler Level Indication
The
Endress+Hauser FMP45 Guided Wave Radar is already recognized as an excellent device for high pressure/temperature level measurement. However, with the Endress+Hauser Gas Phase Compensation enhancement, you can confidently place this unit in even more demanding applications. The Levelflex FMP45 with Gas Phase Compensation is the only guided wave radar that automatically adjusts for gas phase error, even in variable operating conditions. By utilizing a known reference point, the Levelflex FMP45 detects the gas phase error and corrects for it. This function is seamless and undetectable to the operator. The result is consistent and highly accurate level measurement.
You can install the FMP45 in your existing displacer chamber to minimize your downtime or include it on newly designed vessels. With no moving parts and Endress+Hauser reliability you will have a nearly maintenance-free level indication solution.
Intensive Use Chairs
Ergonomic Office Chairs Co., a division of
United Group, Inc. announces the latest addition to the IRONHORSE 24/7 Intensive Seating line, the 1000HDC and 4000HDC.
Born out of the heavy equipment industry, the IronHorse HD Series 24/7 chairs are built like a Sherman tank but feel like you’re seated in a high-end luxury automobile. The 1000HDC and 4000HDC feature a high backrest design that contains an inflatable air lumbar support to ensure comfortable seating for prolonged periods of time. The anatomically contoured cushions are engineered for maximum memory, zero pressure points, and are supported by a robotically welded heavy gauge tubular steel frame with a positively locking backrest. Fitted with a polished cast aluminum base, the 1000HDC and 4000HDC will support a user up to 400 pounds.
Self-Cleaning Suspended Electromagnet
Eriez will exhibit a rugged 7000 Series Self-cleaning Suspended Electromagnet with Armor-Clad belt. Such SE magnets remove damaging tramp iron from coal and other materials conveyed in heavy burden depths on flat conveyors, vibratory feeders or chutes. All Eriez Suspended Electromagnets feature an exclusive external oil expansion tank that has helped prevent coil burnout on thousands of Eriez oil-cooled electromagnets. Heat and moisture, the greatest enemies of electromagnets, are effectively controlled by the expansion tank, which ensures that the coils are always completely covered with cooling oil. Competitive units provide air space within the magnet housing, where damaging condensation forms when moist air seeps in through the pressure relief valve as the magnet cools. Eriez’ expansion tank traps this moisture and keeps it out of the magnet.
These magnets are fabricated from heavy-steel plate with a thick, manganese, steel bottom plate. Other design features include Class H insulated aluminum coils, Space–wound coils with non–deteriorating fiberglass spacers and insulating material. Eriez 7000 Series Suspended Electromagnets are also covered by a 60-month coil warranty.
Tube Stabilizer and Anchor System
EST Second Generation Tube Stabilizer Anchors are now available to complete the Pop-A-Plug® Tube Stabilizing System. EST's Tube Stabilizers prevent vibration or damage caused by movement of fractured or damaged tubes in many types of heat exchanger units. Without stabilization of the damaged tubes, neighboring tubes can be damaged or destroyed.
The stabilizer extends from the tube sheet, through the fractured or damaged section of the tube, and through the support plate beyond the fracture. The system utilizes one of several optional types of support (rod or cable), EST Pop-A-Plugs® Tube Plugs, and the Second Generation Pop-A-Plug® Stabilizer Anchors. The new anchor design incorporates the benefits of the patented EST Pop-A-Plug® with the added feature of user removal being possible. This allows for the efficient reclamation of tubes when called for.
