newsCarbon Trust to lead next phase of Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator
FOLLOWING A competitive process, the Carbon Trust has been re-appointed to design and run the next phase of the UK government’s Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA), launched by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to help accelerate the net zero transition, while bolstering the competitiveness of British industry.
newsSiemens to build advanced 2-pole electric motor
SIEMENS LDA has received an order from a Chinese customer to deliver a machine with dual shaft extension. It can be used in motor operation with a power of 105MW and as generator with up to 129MVA in power generation mode. The 2-pole electric motor will have efficiency of in excess of 98%.
newsDecentralised drive package
WEG HAS announced availability of a decentralised drive package, consisting of WG20-series gear units, EUSAS motors and a MW500 variable speed drive (VSD). Compared with traditional drives, this compact and decentralised package provides lower energy consumption and a compact footprint, as well as improved flexibility.
newsEfficiency gains in vacuum technology
In addition to representing the interests of the UK compressed air industry, the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) is the only trade association in the UK dedicated to low pressure and vacuum distributors, manufacturers and end users. Here, the Society explains more about vacuum systems.
articleSupporting strong UK supply chains
To further strengthen its support for manufacturers and suppliers across the UK’s engineering market, the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) continues to work with Reshoring UK and its other industrial engineering partners. Here, Julia Moore, chief executive at Reshoring UK explains to AirUser how this unique collaboration of 33 leading industrial engineering associations is continuing to grow.
articleUnder Pressure? Getting to grips with the PSSR
The aim of the Pressure System Safety Regulations (SI. 2000 No 128) (PSSR) is to prevent serious injury from the hazard of stored energy as a result of the failure of a pressure system or one of its component parts. Roy Brooks discusses what this means for owners and operators of compressed air systems.
articleTraining: Pick a place and a pace to suit yourself
Wherever your work takes you in these uncertain times, you can rest assured that BCAS training is on hand to help – at a place and at a pace – that works for you; whether that’s the office, or the comfort of your own home.
articleNavigating the ISO 8573 air quality standard
In a typical compressed air system, there are a wide range of contaminants that require treatment if the system is to operate safely, efficiently and cost effectively. Here, Roy Brooks outlines the basic principles of ISO 8573, the international standard for air purity (quality).
articleCompressed air gun use in machine workshops
A RESEARCH study has been carried out in an aerospace machine workshop to understand why machinists rely on compressed air for cleaning work and whether increased awareness of health and safety risks would result in them adopting different cleaning methods if these were suitable and safer? Claire Bailey reports on the findings.
