INDUSTRY : Gas Bottle Industry

SILICONE HEATER TYPE

Silicone mat – custom made rectangular with heater with hook and spring fitment.

SILICONE HEATERs APPLICATION

Surface heating mats applied to the face of gas bottles to maintain a consistent temperature and counteract ambient temperature influences. Client required a low power density heater silicone mat specific in size to one of the variations seen in the gas bottle industry. Specification consisted of an over temperature safety device with a manual reset button.

BENEFITS OF SILICONE

Custom design and manufacture capabilities enabled this heating solutions to deliver constant heat control to an industry that can be significantly affected by fluctuating cold temperatures below 10°C. At this temperature, the ambient conditions cause reduced gas output and an uneven gas flow which can result in a varying welding quality.

IBC & Drum Heaters: T&D International are the UK’s largest stockist and supplier of Insulated Heating Jackets for Drums & Containers.

• By Chris Dodds : estimated reading time 3 minutes

Drum Heaters To Melt Waxes & Resins

Drum heating jackets can be used to consistently heat the drum container and raise the temperature, allowing for easy management of contents with uniform surface heating of drums containing waxes. Wax is solid at ambient temperature and requires heating to the melting point to convert to a liquid state.

T&D provide standard and bespoke heating solutions to drums, containers and storage vessels for an extensive range of waxes:

Natural Waxes

• Vegetable Waxes – carnauba, candelilla, soy
• Animal Waxes – beeswax, lanolin, tallow
• Mineral Waxes – fossil/earth (cereson, montan) or petroleum (paraffin, microcrystalline)

Synthetic Man-Made Waxes

• Hydrocarbon (eg Fischer-Tropsch)
• Ethylenic Polymers (eg polyethylene)
• Chlorinated Naphtalenes

Some substances are highly viscous or solid at ambient temperatures making them difficult to decant and have very high melting points. Wax in particular can require high temperatures before becoming manageable – for instance, paraffin wax has a typical melting point between about 46°C and 68°C (115 and 154°F).

T&D are able to provide drum heating jackets and equipment to suit a range of drum container sizes including high temperature heated jackets and base drum heaters to melt solidified substances and reduce viscosity.

A range of high temperature drum heating jackets are available for 25, 50, 105 and 200 litre steel drum containers. Alternatively, custom drum heaters can be provided to fit other container sizes.

To further increase the temperature of 200 litre drums to higher temperatures in a reduced time period a base drum heater can be used.

Drum Heater Jackets Supplied To Keep The Air Fresh

T&D have provided 25L drum heater jackets to many industries and applications including cleaning and hygiene chemical manufacturers.

T&D were approached to provide a solution when problems occurred when trying to empty the contents of a 25L drum container which had arrived from overseas.

The drum containers held a chemical which at low temperatures was difficult to remove and as a result was slowing down the production process.

T&D provided a solution with the HISD/A drum heater jacket for 25L containers, this allowed the client to heat up the container to reduce the viscosity of the chemical allowing the contents to easily be removed and avoid production delays.

HISD/A drum heater jackets can be fitted with either a 0-40ºC or 0-90ºC adjustable thermostat, a 4 metre power cable and adjustable quick release buckles to secure the jacket to the drum container.

T&D – Andel Water Leak Detection Systems

• By Chris Dodds : estimated reading time 3 minutes

As part of BS EN378 Andel have supplied and installed a major refrigerant gas leak detection system across 7 floors of a new London office block monitoring all air conditioning units and associated pipework for any refrigerant gas leak within office areas and alerting staff with both local and centralised alarms.

Andel Refrigerant Gas Sensors

BS EN378 specifies the installation of fixed refrigerant leak detectors in both existing and new systems, especially where there is more than 300kg of refrigerant within the system.

Refrigerant Gas DetectION USING Floodline FGS1000

Andel’s Floodline FGS1000 Refrigerant Gas Detector can be used either alone or within a Floodline leak detection system to provide an audible and visual alarm in the event of a gas being detected.

The FGS1000 sensors are provided to detect a predetermined gas as specified by the client and are calibrated with 1000 ppm gas to air mixture and complies with BS EN378 regulations and detects refrigerant gases to HSE Occupational Exposure Limits.

The sensitivity controls are calibrated with 1000 ppm gas to air mixture using the specified gas (R134A, R404A, R407C, R410A). Other gases can be accommodated subject to calibration.

REFRIGERANT GAS DETECTION – APPLICATIONS

• VRV Air Conditioning Systems
• Refrigeration Compressor Packs
• Machine / Plant Rooms
• A/C Service Tunnels
• Hotels Bedrooms
• DX Split Units

Andel FSG1000 Refrigerant Gas Leak Detection Sensor

The Andel FGS1000 Gas Sensor constantly monitors the area for any build up of the specific refrigerant gas above a preset level and in the event of a leak above the preset levels is detected, audio/visual warnings are given by a pulsing 85dB sounder along with amber LED and red LED for the detector status.

On every floor of the 7 storey office block adjacent to A/C Units, one FGS1000 detector has been installed at 100mm above floor level, calibrated to 1000 ppm of R407C refrigerant gas.

A Floodline 128 control system monitors all 7 refrigerant gas sensors individually allowing the client to easily identify the zoned area affected.

Additionally, refrigerant gas sensors are installed within plant rooms and machine rooms and monitored by the same Floodline 128 control panel.

T&D – Andel Water Leak Detection Systems

• By Chris Dodds : estimated reading time 2 minutes

Water Leak Detection systems are often installed within Museums & Art Galleries to provide an early warning system before major damage can be caused to valuable and even priceless antiques and works of art displayed within the building.

In historic and heritage buildings, services such as heating & cooling pipework are difficult to maintain and therefore cannot be protected against serious or damaging leaks. Plant rooms, roof spaces and basements are considered to be the principal sources of leaks in these types of buildings. Leak detection systems can be used to continually monitor for the presence of leaks and raise an alarm for action to be carried out.

Water leaks cause downtime, disruption and destruction

Andel’s award winning Floodline Leak Detection equipment has been installed in many Art Galleries and Museums such as Tate (Britain & Modern), British Museum (Great Court), Manchester Museum and the National Museum of Scotland to protect against potentially damaging leaks from water services.

Andel’s leak detection equipment includes a full range of control panels, leak sensing cables and sensors which together forms a leak sensing zone around an area.

Andel Floodline Leak Detection System

Leak sensing cable can be applied directly to pipes or run on, or behind, display cabinets.Where sensing cable could be damaged, Andel have a full range of Floodline sensors including point sensors to monitor the area.

Andel’s Control Panels are installed to suit the application, either small stand-alone single zone systems, or much larger multi-zone panels up to 128 zones, offering the capability for reporting back to central BMS monitoring systems using either volt-free contacts or RS232/485 Comms.
