Products COOLING EVEN FURTHER In order to satisfy the increasing market requirements of electrical energy requirements in data centres, ebm-papst has developed the tried-and-tested series of RadiCal centrifugal fans further. By employing computer-aided optimisation methods, the new RadiCal achieves efficiency of 68.5% at an air flow of 13 000 m³/h. The new impeller is made of glass- fibre-reinforced polypropylene, the outer diameter and installation height have remained the same - ensuring that the tight installation space in the air conditioners is utilised to best effect. ebm-papst products with GreenIntelligence have IoT capability and can be interconnected with any system. The power electronics integrated into the EC motors meet requirements of a 0–10V control signal or via Modbus RTU. Fans are available for all common line voltages and frequencies in sizes 310 and 630. FANS FOR LIFE For more information, contact +27 (0) 21 555 4547. EASY FLOWS Instrotech is offering Kobold’s VKP plastic flowmeters that operate on a special suspended float principle with cylindrical measuring tube and spring-loaded float with orifice. The float in model VKP-3 has slots mounted onto the outside, which protect the instrument from soiling by capturing dirt particles. The danger of the float jamming is thus considerably reduced and soiled liquids with a particle size up to 400m can be measured without difficulty. In model VKP-2, TLT-Turbo has launched a new range of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) fans, with ceramic hybrid bearings that provide a long operational lifespan. The fan offers numerous advantages with regard to performance efficiency, minimal maintenance and high reliability. The MVR fans have a lower maintenance requirement, high motor speeds, a wide range of optimised impellers and the allowance for high temperature and pressure increases. The introduction of hybrid ceramic bearings underscores their commitment to developing products in close alignment to their clients and their needs. The hybrid ceramic bearings are lifetime greased and can be operated the sharp-edged orifice in the float renders the instrument less sensitive to changes in viscosity. The model VKP finds application in lubricant circuits, domestic electrical, installations, machine tools, solar energy systems, cooling circuits, welding machines, and pumps.

The TLT-Turbo MVR fan is suited to numerous applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, wastewater treatment, and the organic natural product production industries as well as in the food and beverage process and manufacturing sectors.
