Gas Sensor for Highly Flammable Refrigerant (R290) Ensures Safe and Accurate Refrigerant Leak Detection in HVAC Systems

PR-Gateway

Düsseldorf, Tokyo and New York – August 29, 2024 – Environmental regulations are driving the European HVAC industry to switch from synthetic to natural refrigerants, such as R290. To ensure safe operation with this highly flammable refrigerant, Senseair, a Swedish subsidiary of Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM), has developed „Sunlight R290,“ a gas sensor featuring high measurement accuracy and operating range, while minimizing heat generation, packaging space, and power consumption. High-volume shipments of Sunlight R290 are scheduled to begin in September 2024. Existing and upcoming regulations in regard to PFAS (per-…

THE THINK-PYRAMID / THE BE-PYRAMID or COGNITO ERGO SUM … THE THINK-PYRAMID / THE BE-PYRAMID or COGNITO ERGO SUM … After 10 years of focussing on inventing, I have a lot of experience with 1. thinking-level approaches AND 2. obstacle-steps structures in innovation (the latter is one of the topics of the lecture). In the HAVING-WANTING („Materialistic being“ – „I have, therefore I am“, „industrialised countries“) there is Maslow’s NEED PYRAMID For THINKING-WANTING („Ideally Being“ – „I think, therefore I am“, Rene Descartes), I have now developed the THINKING PYRAMID:…

Monel® and 316L – Interesting materials for cryogenics

PR-Gateway, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Many materials are embrittling at low temperatures, but two are rugged, even if they are usually used in hot environments like power plants. Particularly low temperatures, sometimes well below -150°C, are required for superconducting materials in many areas of medicine, industry, research and science. Interesting examples are: – Particle accelerators, nuclear fusion reactors and magnetic resonance imaging: Extremely low temperatures are required to operate superconducting magnets. Similarly: – Quantum computers: The most well-known approach utilizes tiny circuits made of superconducting materials that can carry electrical current without resistance when cooled…

How can we meet patient needs without amassing waste?

PR-Gateway, ,

SustainMed – new project aims to make material consumption in hospitals more efficient (Stuttgart) – BioRegio STERN Management GmbH is a partner in the „SustainMed“ project. This initiative aims to develop waste and resource management strategies for medical products and processes in order to minimize the use of disposable materials and optimise recycling rates. Currently, the average hospital in Germany produces around eight metric tons of waste every day, with just under five million metric tons of waste accumulating across Germany each year. That makes hospitals the fifth largest waste…

Higher process security and lower oil consumption

PR-Gateway, , , , , , , ,

Oiling of aluminium strip At Aluminium 2024, Limax will be showing for the first time its new modular electrostatic oiling machine for aluminium strip. The machine combines the company“s proven atomization system based on secondary electrodes with a flexible width adjustment system, a new, integrated smoothing roller, and an inline oil film measuring system from Amepa. This unique combination of components guarantees a perfectly uniform oil film, while markedly reducing oil consumption and providing operators the security that they are instantly alerted by the system in the event of overoiling…

Cellendes hydrogels avoid animal testing and will be a game-changer in research (Stuttgart/Tübingen) – Cellendes GmbH, based in Kusterdingen, near Tübingen, develops and sells hydrogels. These are used to produce all kinds of three- dimensional cell cultures – often created using human cells – that can map the complex functions of organs such as skin, and also abnormal tissue such as that found in tumours. As a result, they offer great potential when it comes to drug development and the testing of toxic substances. Given the growing scepticism about applying…
