New standard in fume extraction
KEMPER HAS DEVELOPED an extrac- tion hood that sets new standards in weld- ing fume extraction which will be available this month.
Extraction hoods are the most frequently used technology worldwide for extracting
The new extraction hood can be rotated 360 degrees.
harmful fumes, particles and vapours directly at their point of origin during welding.
The dimensioning of the new extraction hood results in a higher capture rate and easier handling for welders. The increase in the hose diameter to 180 millimetres in- creases the extraction performance by 30 per cent and the capture rate by a further 20 per cent compared to the previous KEMPER hood.
Due to its flange-shaped design, this hood already achieved capture rates up to 40 per cent higher than conventional solutions. Welders now have to reposition the new ex- traction hood even less frequently.
The new extraction hood can be rotated 360 degrees and is easy to operate by hand, even with gloves on. Integrated above the ex- traction area rather than in the air flow, an energy-saving LED strip provides welders with an optimum view of the workpiece.
The new bayonet lock for connecting the extraction hose ensures an effective seal and quick fitting. The new function of extraction volume measurement in the hood directly at the point of origin safeguards companies now for future legal standards.

Building solution delivers double digit energy savings
A pilot was implemented at Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Honeywell Forge Energy Optimization was applied to HBMSU's existing building man- agement system, which uses competitor technology to demonstrate the platform's open architecture and hardware-agnostic capabilities. The pilot also uncovered local control issues with the chiller plant and fresh air handling unit that were not adjust- ing to set points.
"As a smart university, we look to deploy the latest technology across our campus and en- sure our buildings are efficient. We were pleas- antly surprised by the results we saw from Hon- eywell Forge and its ability to drive further energy savings beyond our achievable optimi- zation with the techniques we have," according to Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University.
Honeywell Connected Buildings vice presi- dent, David Trice, said buildings aren’t static steel and concrete, they’re dynamic ecosystems with energy needs.
Ideal for low flow apps
DWYER INSTRUMENTS PTY Ltd (Australia) has made available the Model TDFT thermal dispersion flow transmitter with continuous frequency output.
It fits applications with pipe sizes from 1/2" to 2" (12.7 to 50 mm) and features 316L stainless steel housing for use in harsh envi- ronments.
Features include: flow measurement in low flow applications; continuous frequency signal from measured flow velocity;
low pressure drop and; no moving parts.

HONEYWELL HAS LAUNCHED a Cloud- based, machine learning solution that continu- ously studies a building's energy consumption patterns and automatically adjusts to optimal energy saving settings without compromising occupant comfort levels.
Honeywell Forge Energy Optimization, the first autonomous building solution focused on decreasing energy consumption, may deliver double-digit energy savings, decrease a build-
ing's carbon footprint, and can be implement- ed without significant upfront capital expens- es or changes to a building's current operational processes. During a pilot at Ham- dan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBM- SU) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the prod- uct demonstrated an initial 10% energy savings. HBMSU is the first accredited smart university in the UAE and is known for its tech- nology and innovation programs.
