Hi Report; USA & Industry Innovation,

A four-minute explanation of why innovation is so important to the United States

Fig.1: Here's what Americans don't want!


What makes America great? You'll get different answers depending on whom you ask.

There’s no doubt that developing new technologies has helped the country lead the world.

Without money to finance research, it’s tougher to make that next discovery or advancement. 
Here’s a short film (no sound required) that warns we're shortchanging our federal investments in innovation. 
It comes from innovationdeficit.org and is timed to coincide with President Obama’s new budget:


For those curious, here are the 14 organizations behind the video: Aerospace Industries Association, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Council on Education, American Heart Association, Association of American Universities, Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, Business-Higher Education Forum, Council on Competitiveness, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, Semiconductor Industry Association, Task Force on American Innovation, the Science Coalition and United for Medical Research.

Hi News Beat - "Anguil expands into Australia"

Hi News Beat - "

Anguil expands into Australia"


Two leading suppliers in the air pollution control industry are partnering-up to meet the needs of Australian companies with emission control requirements. 

Australia’s single-largest air pollution control company, Total Air Pollution Control (TAPC) has teamed up with Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. (Anguil), a global provider of oxidation and vapor combustion technologies.

Both Anguil and TAPC specialize in technologies, products and services that destroy Volatile Organic Compounds  (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from a broad range of applications. 
When released into the atmosphere these pollutants contribute to smog as well as the destruction of agriculture and forests.  In humans they can cause birth defects, nervous system damage, respiratory ailments, heart conditions or even death during massive accidental releases. 
TAPC’s current product offering includes gas scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters.  With access to the Anguil thermal and catalytic oxidizers technologies they can now offer a control technology increasingly being used in the region to meet the more stringent environmental regulations for VOCs and HAPs.  
Anguil, founded in 1978, has gained recognition and a reputation as one of the leaders in manufacturing, servicing and installation of oxidation technologies and heat recovery systems for various applications and industries. 
TAPC will incorporate Anguil’s oxidizer designs and heat recovery systems with their existing gas cleaning technologies for facilities throughout the region. 
This partnership provides a local Anguil presence for sales, installation, fabrication and service needs. 
Customers in Australia can expect state of the art air pollution control equipment, dependable service and responsive support from two of the most reputable companies in the industry.

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.
