The last few years have seen an increase in high power applications, from railway and EVs to manufacturing and renewable energy. Traditional air-cooling is unsuitable for these applications due to high temperature and low space constraints. Here, Steve Hughes, Managing Director, REO UK, explores the world of liquid cooling and how it can provide significant efficiency gains.

At PCIM Europe 2015, it’s all about power electronics and its applications. Besides around 420 exhibiting companies, visitors can additionally look forward to a varied programme at the two free of charge visitor forums in the exhibition halls.

ABB’s latest generation of head mounted smart temperature transmitters have helped to provide a clever solution to a tricky upgrade project at Tata Steel in Port Talbot. ABB’s solution involved thirty TTH300 temperature transmitters being used to replace Hartmann and Braun field mounted units installed in 1981 without the need for extensive retrofitting work.

Faced with challenges from rising costs, growing competition and the need to raise productivity, manufacturers have begun assuming greater technological leadership, especially in converging high-end manufacturing equipment with next-generation ICT. These technological advances in automation, robotics and 3D printing are on show at MTA2015 - The Precision Engineering Industry Event.

The International Federation of Robotics states that demand for industrial robots will continue at an average annual growth rate of 12% between 2015 and 2017. In Asia and Australia, robot sales are expected to increase by around an average of 16% a year. The automotive and electronics industries will continue to see increasing investment in robots. Mr. Lim Say Leong, Assistant Vice President, ABB, thinks that in a new era of robotics, collaborati...

Boulting Technology, has traversed new ground with its 100kA low voltage (LV) switchboard. The product is the largest specification Boulting has developed to date and is specially designed for building services and industrial facilities with applications requiring high fault levels.

Millions of shipping containers pass through sea ports each year, carrying anything from machinery and auto parts to shoes, toys, and frozen food. At modern ports, containers are unloaded onto docks, and then moved to stacking yards where Automatic Stacking Cranes and Ship to Shore Cranes stack them until they are ready to be loaded onto trucks or train cars. Containers must be moved quickly and accurately without interference from other containe...

Sercos International celebrates its 25th anniversary as well as 10 years of Sercos III technology.

Tata Steel announced the signing of a prestigious contract to supply highly wear-resistant rail for the Crossrail project beneath the heart of London. The Crossrail route will serve 40 stations and travel more than 100km from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through new twin-bore 21km tunnels below central London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.Tata Steel has already commenced deliveries to the Crossrail project, and will ultimately supp...

ABB says its electromagnetic flowmeters from the Water Technology List scheme will help water companies reduce the cost of using the latest flowmetering equipment. Set up over 10 years ago to promote the use of water efficient technology, the scheme allows companies to offset 100 percent of the costs associated with both purchasing and installation in the first year.
