HEATED SIDE WALKS

 


A sidewalk road heating system that uses sewer heat (Niigata, Niigata Pref.) The heat required for the system was set at 123 W/m2 by comparing heat required for snow melting to that required for freezing. The system is able to melt the snow up to a maximum snowfall intensity of 1.49 cm/h.



Such measures include setting up a snow removal system that utilises different types of equipment, building snow fences on highways and launching a heavy snowfall warning system, Dr Nemoto of Japan's Snow and Ice Research Center said

INDOOR SUBSTATION

Image
  Indoor Substation - 110 / 13 KV Indoor Substation A substation in which the apparatus is equipped inside the substation building is called indoor substation. Such type of substation is mainly used for the voltage up to 11000 v, but when the surrounding air is contaminated by impurities such as metal corroding gases and fumes, conductive dust, etc., their voltage can be raised up to 33000 V to 66000 v. The indoor substation is subdivided into several compartments like control compartment, indicating and metering instruments and protective device compartment main bus-bar compartment, current transformer and cable sealing box compartment as shown in the figure below. The switch gear on the supply or primary side will consist of oil circuit breaker only. The high voltage supply is given to the primary of the transformer through a circuit breaker. From the bus bar, various feeders emerge out. The panel on each feeder consists of an isolator switch and a circuit breaker. In additi...

PLC Types

Image
    PLC Types PLCs are used in almost every industry right from manufacturing, food processing, automotive, oil & gas, and many other industries. No wonder the estimated growth for this market stands at $50 billion by 2026. PLCs have evolved over time, with many different types of controllers now available on the market. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses which can make it more suitable for certain applications than others; it is important to understand the differences between them before deciding which one will be most appropriate for your particular application. Let’s have a look at the types of PLCs that are available. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an industrial computer-based device used for controlling processes or machines in the manufacturing and production industry. PLCs are commonly used to automate processes that would otherwise be completed manually, such as machine movement, assembly line operation, quality checking, and process monitoring. ...
