Hi Events!. Three cutting-edge manufacturing events in one this June!.


Three unrivalled brands come together to create the most anticipated manufacturing event of the year when leading industry exhibition Subcon returns to the NEC on 4 to 6 June alongside the Advanced Manufacturing Show, a new event from the UK’s leading production magazine MWP, and The Engineer Conference, highlighting new ideas and groundbreaking technologies.

Grant Burgham, Business Development and Portfolio Director at Centaur Exhibitions, said: 
- “These events will provide a clear focus for excellence in manufacturing technology and services. They will be a critical destination for engineers, sourcing teams and manufacturing management across all sectors and disciplines.”

The Engineer Conference will showcase some of the most compelling and inspiring examples of manufacturing technology from both the UK's established and emerging engineering sectors. 
 
Some of the biggest names in British industry will be taking part, with keynote speakers Mr Bob Joyce, Group Engineering Director of Jaguar Land Rover responsible for technology and innovation and Mr Dick Elsy, CEO of the UK’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult, bringing together seven world class centres of industrial innovation amongst a rich variety of speakers from industry and academia.

The Conference will provide a unique snapshot of the diversity of UK industry and give visitors valuable insight into the manufacturing strategies of some of our most exciting companies.

Over 300 companies will be exhibiting at Subcon and the Advanced Manufacturing Show, providing an anticipated 3,500 production and sourcing professionals with a comprehensive showcase of manufacturing technology and services.

Together the two events will provide a single point of call for visiting industry professionals looking to invest in the latest manufacturing technology, find world-class manufacturing partners and refine their make-buy strategies.

Subcon is the UK’s only event that is completely focused on contract and subcontract manufacturing including prototyping, 3D printing, machining, moulding, fabrication, electronics assembly, casting and forging, finishing, treatments and testing.

With 86% UK subcontractors , Subcon also offers access to global markets, with thirteen overseas countries represented this year including France, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, Singapore, India, Taiwan and China.

The new Advanced Manufacturing Show features machine tools, tooling, metrology equipment, software and ancillary equipment from the leading names in the sector. Visitors will have the chance to see live demonstrations and do business with exhibitors  including Yamazaki Mazak, Renishaw, WNT, Delcam, Hexagon Metrology, Nikon Metrology and XYZ amongst others.

Visitors just need to register for one show to get free access to both.  Registration is now open online at;

Hi Green Tip #4: Hi Size and Select Fans Near Their Peak Total Efficiency.

Even the most efficient fan models can operate inefficiently if improperly sized.Fans selected close to their peak total efficiency (pTE) will use less energy. The 2012 International Green Construction Code requires selections within 10% of peak efficiency, and ASHRAE Standard 90.1,

Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, is considering language that would require a 15% allowable range. If a fan is selected to operate more than 15 point below its peak efficiency, it is probably undersized to result in the lowest purchase price (first cost). The smaller, less-expense fan will have to run much faster with higher levels of internal turbulence than its larger cousin to meet the required air flow, thus consuming a lot more energy.The cost difference to select a larger fan closer to peak operating efficiency is very small when compared to the energy saved.

Simple payback for 10% selections is usually less than one year. Smaller fans operating faster will also require more maintenance and earlier replacement. Smaller fans generate more noise as well.Below is a table showing the output from a fan manufacturer's sizing and selection program. All of the fans in the table would "do the job" of providing the required airflow at the required pressure.

The fan sizes range from 18-inches in diameter to 36-in. Notice that as the fan diameter increases, the fan speed decreases, as does the fan power (expressed as "brake horsepower"). The red region of the table indicates poor fan selection practice - none of these fans have an actual total efficiency (at the airflow and pressure required) within 15 points of peak total efficiency. The green region indicates proper fan selection process - all have an actual total efficiency within 15 points of peak total efficiency.

Note that the 30-in. diameter fan consumes roughly half the power of the 18-in. fan. The lowest cost fan shown is probably the 20-in. fan, with an efficiency of 49%, 29 points off the peak. If this fan runs 6,000 hours per year at a utility rate of 10 cents per kwh, it will cost $4,300 a year to operate. A more efficient selection might be the 24-in. fan because it is "Class I" and complies with both ASHRAE 90.1 and the Green code requirements. It has an actual efficiency of 69%, 10 points less than the peak efficiency of 79%. This fan would cost $3,100 to operate, which is probably more than the fan itself costs. A more efficient 30 inch selection is only 1 point from its peak efficiency of 83% and will consume only $2,600 per year, saving $500 a year relative to a 24-in. fan, and $1,700 a year over the lowest cost fan. Generally, the difference in initial cost of the most efficient fan selection is paid back in less than 5 years over more common less efficient alternatives. Perhaps this observation will bring it home.

Most fans consume more each year in energy cost than they are worth. So, when you buy a fan, think of it as a liability, not an asset. Your objective should be to make the liability placed on those who will pay future energy bills as low as possible. The leverage implicit in choosing a larger, more efficient fan is much greater than most people appreciate. And fans last a long time – 20 years plus – so choose wisely.The bottom line is this. Right-sizing a fan can yield energy savings and generate a lot of operating cost savings for the facility owner or occupants for many, many years.
