COM Solutions Vol5, Iss1 PMGT. indd 351106 103139 AM2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=6http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=64Vol. 5 Issue 1ENGINEERING ENERGY EFFICIENCY ENVIRONMENT ENVISIONEERING Better metal alloys and welding techniques Many products today are being manufactured with stainless steel, replacing metals that require greater size and mass to achieve the same strength and durability. With deep drawn stainless steel structures, for instance, ow control products can be made lighter and more compact, making them easier and faster to install and more resistant to corrosion, vibration, and mechanical shock. Using nowrap technology, bimetal connections also dramatically impact product quality. By fusing copper to stainless steel under extremely high pressure rolling, valve connections are made that require much less heat input during the brazing operation. Each braze is accomplished in less than half the time required for traditional connections, and the heat remains in the connectionit is not conducted to the precision internal valve mechanism. Containing brazing heat in the connection means theres no need for cooling or wet wrapping of the valve body, as with traditional copper connections. Developed for the TU expansion valve, bimetal connections are now applied to other Danfoss expansion valves and to solenoid valves. Laser welding is another manufacturing innovation that yields many benets in improved product life and quality. In an expansion valve power element, laser welding the diaphragm takes just a second or two, and again, there is less heat input. he diaphragm is thin, and the heat input of traditional plasma welding tends to partially crystallize the periphery of the diaphragm, shortening its service life. Laser welding is acutely focused and results in much less heat input, with the result that Danfoss power elements give the valve considerably longer life, with signicant cost savings for component production and in energy conservation for repeatable control. Other benets include lower manufacturing cost, time saved, and a reduction in hazardous waste. Laser welding technology is now extended to other products, including the Danfoss GBC ball valve line, which pioneered brasstobrass laser welding to the industry. Laser welding means that less brass is needed, and makes the GBC more compact and slimmer and much lighter than other ball valves. Innovation Dees The Impossible Mastering advanced technologies is a core Danfoss value. A bumblebee is used to symbolize doing the impossible. The bumblebee ies, even though its physical structure dees the laws of gravity. Danfoss upholds this same philosophy, to strive for breakthroughs even when others say it cant be done. Automated machining has also reached new levels of precision. Danfoss uses digital control processes with no lag error, producing surface nishes with a residual roughness Ra with less than seven tenths of a micron.

COM Oilfree compressors Another true breakthrough in the HVACR industry is the Danfoss Turbocor compressor, the worlds rst oilfree compressor, using magnetic bearing technology. he compressor rotor shat and impellers levitate during rotation and oat on a magnetic cushion. It also integrates variablespeed centrifugal compression and digital electronic technologies. he result is an extremely ecient and quiet compressor with greatly reduced maintenance. Automation advances Automated machining has also reached new levels of precision. Danfoss uses digital control processes with no lag error, producing surface nishes with a residual roughness with Ra less than seven tenths of a micron. A prime example of the benets of digitally controlled machining is the accuracy and smoothness of scroll components, and low friction controlled orbit design that ensures high eciency for Danfoss Performer scroll compressors. Automation technology has set new standards for adaptability and exibility in electronics as well. For example, in surface mount technology SMT , where components are placed onto a printed circuit board PCB, instead of through it, takes advantage of automatic assembly with a pickandplace machine, leading to much higher eciencies, costsavings and accuracy. A pickandplace machine works extremely rapidly, mounting 10, 000 or more components per hour with high precision. he factory which produces Danfoss VLTTM Automation Drive variable frequency drives implements innovative design and use of automation. It also combines Justin Time procedures, Quick Response Manufacturing, and Kan Ban philosophy into a logistic set up that lets customers order products specic to their product and delivery needs in a massproducing environment. By integrating marketdriven product development, platform design philosophy and design manufacturing processes, a unique setup was devised allowing delivery of the specied product built to customer order and delivery schedule. he setup allows delivery of thousands of dierent Danfoss components Just In Time to customer order. Process ow on the drive assembly lines includes highly automated systems for producing customerspecied products. For example, integration of surface mount device SMD technology with high performance placement machines allows the automation of leadmounted components directly at the line, called Pin In Paste technology. his means the PCBs remain untouched until nal assembly. here are thousands of dierent commercial combinations of the Automation Drive products, which demands a need to automate the manufacturing setup by including generation of automatic bill of material. Insertion programs on oddform mounting machines are also changed automatically. he customer lls in the type code during an Internetbased ordering process. he system checks to see if the particular variant has been produced before. If the program, called Shop Floor, recognizes the variant, the bill of material is retrieved from the How Lean Thinking Got Popular In 1990 James Womack wrote a book called The Machine That Changed The World, which looks at the history of automobile manufacturing combined with a study of Japanese, American, and European automotive assembly plants. In the book a new phrase was coined Lean Manufacturing. The Lean concepts come from the Toyota Production System and Just In Time Production, Henry Ford and other manufacturing pioneers. Thanks largely to Womack, the concepts of Lean Manufacturing inspired manufacturers around the world and have become common in production. In the meantime, the knowledge, experience and skills for implementing Lean techniques continue to develop. system and the unit is produced with a specic manufacturing setup. If the combination is not recognized by the system, Shop Floor systematically generates a customer specic bill of material, generates the required manufacturing setup, and the unit is then built and run through a series 2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=8http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=86Vol. 5 Issue 1ENGINEERING ENERGY EFFICIENCY ENVIRONMENT ENVISIONEERING Oilfree technology Production relies on chilled water UPM, one of the largest plastics rms on the West Coast, is located in Baldwin Park, a Los Angeles area suburb. It produces a wide array of plastic parts for many applications, including crates, containers, trays, and many complex specialty parts. Injection molding machines rely totally on a ow of chilled water to remove process waste heat. Its this simple No chilled water, no production, says Pipan. Until recently, chilled water was supplied to the facility by an older 150ton watercooled chiller with six reciprocating compressors and a 106ton water cooled chiller with two screw compressors. h ere also was an aircooled reciprocating compressor chiller that was in reserve, though its condition was questionable. h e chillers and related equipment are located at grade level in a mechanical yard adjacent to the manufacturing building. A chiller to trust Pipan and the production sta were concerned because the reciprocating compressor chiller appeared to be getting increasingly unreliable, requiring frequent inspection and repair outages. Because the manufacturing plant operates around the clock, there was no good time to do service work, and there was an increasing threat of chiller failure that could jeopardize production. We had a problem. If the chillers go down, the whole plant goes down, said Walter Pipan, engineering manager for California plastics manufacturing UPM Inc. And we didnt trust the chillers. This challenge led to the rms decision to install a new type of chiller for cooling process water. UPM specializes in the production of custom injection molded plastics. A key element to the production is the availability of chilled water to keep cool the intricate injection molding machines. Plastics rm gets peace of mind with Solutions Vol5, Iss1 PMGT. indd 651106 103147 AM2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=9http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=97Vol. 5 Issue 1WWW. ENVISIONEERING. DANFOSS. COM Oilfree technology UPM went to h ermal Care, Inc. , a process cooling product manufacturer headquartered in Niles, Illinois, that specializes in chilled water equipment for industrial applications. Michael Clavelli, h ermal Cares West Coast regional manager, worked with Pipan and other sta members to determine a solution for better reliability of the chillers and reducing the risk of loss of chilled water service, which would put production in peril. Pipan indicated that they were interested in reducing the energy usage of the chilled water operation. Any replacement equipment would also have to t in the existing mechanical area. At er a detailed evaluation of the facility, h ermal Care recommended removing the watercooled and the standby aircooled reciprocating compressor chillers in stages and replacing them with two chillers customdesigned for the installation. h e new units feature a new type of oilfree centrifugal compressor manufactured by Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. We wanted to design a system with very high reliability and e ciency. What we proposed was a system that we think is ideal for this type of process application, says Clavelli. h ermal Care and Danfoss Turbocor had worked together for over a year in the development of this chiller product. Because the new system would operate at a dramatically higher e ciency than the existing chillers, UPM was eligible for a rebate from the electric utility, Southern California Edison, which would further shorten the project payback. In early 2003, the watercooled reciprocating chiller was removed and replaced with the rst h ermal Care chiller. In June 2004, the aircooled machine was removed and replaced with a second h ermal Care package. h e existing screw chiller remains on the site and is generally held in standby status. h e e ciency of the new chillers is such that we recommend they be used to carry the load and the screw chiller be held as a backup, Clavelli explains. A quiet, ef cient solution At the heart of the two new chillers are the Danfoss Turbocor compressors, which has an oilfree design. h e shat and twin impeller assembly is the compressors only moving part. h e impeller shat rotates on magnetic bearings, which eliminate friction and wear in the compressor, and reduce noise. h ey also require no oil, avoiding many associated maintenance costs and problems. Walter Pipan was also surprised at the drastically lowered sound level in the outdoor mechanical yard. You can easily hold a conversation here now, where you couldnt before when the recip units were running, he says. Staying in the sweet spot According to Dan Mason, director of North American sales for Danfoss Turbocor, the application of Turbocor compressors in the chillers at UPM was the right match for their machine. Long running hours at variable loads, and a need for high reliability are places where our product really shines. He adds, Because of the oilfree design and the builtin variable speed feature, we can stay in an e ciency sweet spot all the time. h e h ermal Care chillers designed for the UPM installation each have two 70ton Danfoss Turbocor compressors. h e chillers have individual unit controls and diagnostics, and along with the screw chiller are linked to a central chilled water control system. In this h ermal Care installation, chilled water at approximately 50F goes to a 1, 000 gallon supply tank, from which it is pumped to injection process machines as needed. The new units feature a new type of oilfree centrifugal compressor manufactured by Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc.

An important aspect of the installation is the remote monitoring capability. hermal Care provided a CPU, interconnecting cables from the CPU to the chiller, sotware, and an Internet card. his feature allows either UPM or service specialists at hermal Care remote access to 79 points of diagnostic information per compressor, including the status of the compressors, electronic expansion valves, and condensing water regulating valves. his capability is a tremendous value for the customer, says hermal Cares vice president of sales and marketing, Tom Benson. We can quickly assist with any chiller performance questions by having one of our service specialists communicate directly with the chiller through the Internet. Both hermal Care and the customer can view temperatures, pressures, volts, and amp draws, log and save data, adjust setpoints or control parameters, view alarm history and captured data at the time of the fault, view demand prole including k W usage, and make PLC program updates. Teamwork installation he installation of the chillers at UPM was done by West Coast Industrial Services Inc. WCIS of Riverside, California. Bill Stanonis, president of WCISs team worked closely with hermal Cares corporate sta and with Michael Clavelli from the rm to install and start the unit as eciently as possible. Stanonis says, his was our rst time with units with these Danfoss Turbocor compressors and we wanted to do it right, and not create any problems at the plant. Dramatic payback According to Pipan, with the installation of the rst chiller in 2003, UPM immediately noticed a reduction in the plant electric demand charge from Southern California Edison, and the installation of the second unit increased that savings. In addition, the units use signicantly less energy than their predecessors. hey are using about 40 less energy than the reciprocating units that we were relying on earlier, he says. he payback on the hermal Care chillers has been dramatic due to the Southern California Edison rebate and the reduction in energy usage by 40. With the installation of the second unit in 2004, the screw chiller was relegated to standby status. Pipan is impressed at reliability to date of the hermal Care system and the Danfoss Turbocor compressors. Pipan also points out that the new 140ton chillers actually have a smaller footprint than the chillers they replaced, thus freeing up space in the mechanical yard. Oilfree saves energy Oilfree compressors eliminate the potential for oil to contaminate the refrigerant and coat the tubes. They are more efcient, especially at part load conditions and maintain the high level of efciency during their lifecycle. The technology also avoids replacement of lter cartridges and reduces compressor maintenance cost by up to 50 percent. Oil consumption and disposal costs are also eliminated making oilfree an environmentally responsible option, a true En Visioneering breakthrough.

Cuts resources and gets results his concept diminishes the OEMs need to dedicate engineering resources, factory oor space, and warehouse space to design and building of the assemblies they receive from Danfoss. Human resources are made available to increase and streamline assembly of packaged chillers, where the OEM wants to apply its greatest expertise. Danfoss is supplying two main chiller subfunctions to this OEM partner. First there are the compressor subfunctions, which consist of two to four compressors, along with all connection piping suction, discharge, oil. he functions are customized to include other components such as ball valves, pressure transducers, pressure switches and electrical cabling. he unit is built on a supporting base that slides onto the chiller frame and is xed in place. Finally, the inlet and outlet refrigerant connections are brazed and the electrical cables connected. Chillers, like the buildings they cool, come in a wide range of sizes, and the load placed on them by conditions in the building can vary considerably. In order to provide dierent capacities, Danfoss constructs compressor subfunctions using from two to four Performer scroll compressors with interconnecting piping. Product and global demands met he global OEMs expectations for ontime delivery and service are met through Danfoss global network. he subassemblies are supplied from compressor plants on several continents, through a rened logistics process. he compressor plants producing the subfunction units are those that can best serve the OEMs chiller manufacturing locations. he second subfunction that Danfoss supplies is the chillers liquid line assembly in many cases multiple assemblies. Two main designs, with a number of variations satisfy the needs of the OEM, and Danfoss matches production to the changing demands of the customer. Each liquid line assembly includes an ETS electronic stepper motor expansion valve with an integrated sight glass, either a hermetic sealed lter drier or one with a replaceable core, and a ball valve. Both 78 and 118 sizes are supplied. Each component in every liquid line assembly is individually helium leak tested under pressure. his is another demonstration of En Visioneering, in which engineering partnerships create innovative energy ecient and environmentally responsible solutions. he virtual factory designed to improve chiller manufacturing eciency succeeds because each partner concentrates on its core competencies. he OEM can use its resources more productively in designing and building ecient, serviceable, longlasting chiller units, while Danfoss can supply the highest quality compressor and liquid line subfunctions, completely fabricated and thoroughly tested, with savings in time, labor, space, and cost. improving efciency for a chiller OEMVirtual Factory 9Vol. 5 Issue 1WWW.

Machine independent stops, caused by turned over bottles or broken glass. Induced stops Bottlescans under supplied to the ller or labeler so that production stops on the aected machine and stops bottles ater it. Blockage Bottlescans oversupplied to the ller or labeler so that production stops on the aected machine and stops bottles before it. Machineindependent and machine dependent stops are random and dicult to avoid. Induced stops and blockage occur when the machine does not anticipate the requirements of other machinery on the production line, and can be prevented using variable speed control. Developments that help prevent stops and meet the latest bottling plant demands include the Danfoss VLT Automation Drive, decentral solutions like the FCM 300 series and the DMS 300, and advances in synchronizing positioning capabilities and communication sotware. As an example, one large brewery had problems controlling the speed of two conveyor belts due to dierences in bottle weights. he rst belt took the bottles through the bottle washer. he next belt sent the bottles away from the bottle washer and to the bottling machine. he belt taking the bottles away from the bottle washer conveyed the lighter bottles and had lower inertia than of the other belt, and it started and stopped more abruptly than the belt through the bottle washer. When the bottles moved from the rst belt to the next one, whose speed was inaccurate, they were exposed to a sudden change of speed the bottles toppled over and sometimes a domino eect occurred up the belt. he result was frequent stops in the line and broken bottles. Danfoss VLT variable frequency drives equipped with a synchronizing control option solved the problem. he belt running through the bottle washer acts as VLT Automation Drive Coca Cola is a registered trademark of the Coca Cola Company Solutions Vol5, Iss1 PMGT. indd 1251106 103159 AM2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=15http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=1513Vol. 5 Issue 1WWW. ENVISIONEERING. DANFOSS. COM the master and the belt from the bottle washer to the bottling machine acts as the slave in the system. A closedloop system equipped with the drives uses counters proximity and photoelectrics to monitor the volume of bottles going through key points in the production line. he counters send the information to the synchronizing controller, which signals the drive to maintain or modify the motor speed it controls. If the slave speed does not match the speed of the master, then the speed is immediately adjusted via the controller. his prevents the stoppages due to dierent conveyor requirements. Diminished strain Motors in conveyor operations take a lot of strain. When an AC motor is started across the line it puts a major mechanical strain on the motor and connected load. his starting shock increases wear and tear on the mechanics of the connected load, as well as the motor. A variable frequency drive provides controlled motor acceleration, which decreases energy use and wear on the drive train. It starts the motor at zero speed and accelerates smoothly on a ramp, adjusted to customer specications. he drive optimizes the process and allows remote adjustment of speed by programmable controller. he drive can also protect machinery from damage, and protect the process or product through torque control of the motor to the load. One large beverage maker, for example was experiencing jams in which the motor continued to try to rotate until the motors overload device tripped and opened. A drive was installed and adjusted to the amount of torque so the motor never exceeds this limit, resolving the problem. Decentral catches on Many beverage manufacturers are turning to decentralized motor control. Installation is easier and costs saved by locating the controllers on the production equipment as opposed to in a separate control room. An increasingly popular setup demanding decentral solutions is integration of plastic blow molding machines in the lling areas. Air conveyors guarantee that the lightweight containers or bottles are eciently transported to the subsequent handling machines. For these applications Danfoss installs a decentral concept, the VLT FCM 300 motor and drive unit, which can be mounted directly to the machinery without the need for a control panel. Its exibility allows it to meet the restrictions of the site. It also has individual frequency control facility of the radialfan drive motors for an energy ecient handling system that avoids losing bottles on the line. he air lter systems connected upstream of the radial fans are constantly monitored for any contamination, which combined with VFDcontrolled motors, ensures that the delivery pressure is optimal in the air conveyor. A Danfoss DMS 300 Motor Starter can be mounted on the wall or directly to the motor for sot starting and stopping of the motor in either direction when no variable speed control is required. With these technologies developed for the beverage industry, the bottling process goes down a lot smoother.

Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, desertlike conditions where the air is so dry that you feel as though your skin will crack. Buildings need to control indoor humidity to ensure human comfort. In many industries there are also applications that need to control humidity to ensure process quality. Product developments in high pressure mist systems provide highly eective and energy ecient indoor humidity control. People generally feel most comfortable between 40 and 60 percent relative humidity r H and a temperature of between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, according to homas Foster Mortensen, North American sales manager for Danfoss High Pressure Water Solutions. To maintain a comfortable level of humidity, about 20 to 30 percent of large buildings, such as oce buildings and hospitals have humidication systems as part of their standard equipment in air handling units or directly in ducts. In addition to comfort, some applications and processes need to maintain the right humidity in order to function. For example, if the humidity levels are not correct in newspaper printing houses, the ink simply will not adhere to the paper in the printing presses. Electronics production, where static electricity can interfere and disrupt the sensitive processes, also maintain humidication systems as one of their key operating systems. In general, humidication systems have a few challenges they are sometimes considered expensive and maintenance intensive, and there have been concerns regarding hygiene and healthrelated issues. New technology meets these challenges. ALL STEAMED UP In the United States the majority of humidication systems are steam driven, although other types also are on the market. In steam systems, the humidier contains an electric or gas powered steam generator. he hot steam is directly injected into the humidifying area. he heat produced in the system is not removed from the humidied air, and thus increases the air temperature in the building. Steam systems use considerable energy resources and are very expensive to operate with electricity. In fact, if the system is operating in a warmer climate, the space then has to be cooled with airconditioning in order to maintain a comfortable temperature, The Comfort Zone Humidication puts buildings and industry in Keeping Cool Atomization nozzles keep a constant level of humidity in the duct by introducing water into the system under highpressure. The nozzles create water droplets 10 to 15 microns in size, at a pressure of 1000 psi, which quickly evaporate.

ENVISIONEERING. DANFOSS. COM adding to energy costs. Steam systems can, however, reduce winter heating costs for the same reason. Maintenance costs for steam systems also tend to be high, as boilers need a higher level of care. Steam systems have no hygienic issues, due to the fact that the water is heated to high temperatures, and are suitable for smaller, single room applications. HIGH PRESSURE COMES TO THE RESCUE As the cost of steam has skyrocketed in the last few years with increasing natural gas and electricity prices, High Pressure Water Mist systems have become more popular. he cold water sprayed into the system at high pressure is also called cold steam. Danfoss manufactures pumps and valves for these cold steam humidication systems. he cold steam systems help users maintain the comfort of indoor climate, while saving money by cutting energy and maintenance costs. In one laboratory application, annual energy savings of almost 75, 000 were achieved when this type of system replaced nine steam generators. In addition to the high pressure pump and relief valve, a typical pump unit consist of stagingvalves to shut down or activate a certain number of nozzles as necessary, to keep a constant level of humidity in the duct. It is based on the highpressure principle, where the water is introduced into the system via atomization nozzles. he nozzles create water droplets 10 to 15 microns in size, at a pressure of 1000 psi, which quickly evaporate. he evaporation takes more time than with steam, and so requires a minimum of 5 feet of space for it to take place. he cold steam systems also allow adiabatic cooling, which utilizes the cooling eect of water evaporation, says Foster Mortensen. his is advantageous in warmer climes, as it reduces the need for airconditioning. But at the same time it can be disadvantageous in the winter time if you do not want the cooling eect. Stainless steel Danfoss pumps are designed to use reverse osmosis RO water. RO water is mineral free, which is important in humidication systems. Not only does the RO water prevent mineral buildup clogging the duct and nozzles, but from a hygienic perspective, the minerals in regular water also produce mineral dust, which is circulated in the building, Foster Mortensen explains. he Danfoss staging valves on this type of humidication system are all 32 way valves, automatically draining the water from the nozzle back into the pump until there is no standing water, again preventing bacteria build up. PRODUCTS IN HARMONY he pumps have a turndown ratio of 40 to 1 with a Danfoss VLT variable frequency drive VFD, and even without a VFD, the pump is able to bypass up to 90 percent of the pump ow without increasing the water temperature to levels where components will be adversely aected. he VFD typically used with Danfoss high pressure pumps is a Danfoss FCM 300 motor and drive unit. In addition, a Danfoss MBS pressure transmitter is used to ensure a constant 1000 psi pressure in the system, as valves are turned on and o. Not only does this type of system reduce energy costs compared with steam systems, but also decreases maintenance costs. In the laboratory case mentioned above, annual savings of 18, 000 were achieved in the maintenance budget. A Danfoss highpressure pump unit can run for at least 8, 000 hours before its rst service. his is mainly because the Danfoss pump is lubricated with water if a pump is oillubricated, it is just like a car that needs its oil changed every once in a while, adds Foster Mortensen. Danfoss En Visioneering leads to eective and environmentally responsible solutions like these innovative humidication systems.

In the US, several state governments have followed the lead of the European Unions Ro HS and WEEE Directives. Under these new regulations, the states seek to regulate environmental hazards that are perhaps the more insidious because they are far from obvious. Materials used in industries that produce many domestic conveniences and commercial and industrial appliances are coming under control. Our burgeoning hightech industries are coming into regulatory focus, too. Back in the late nineties, statistical projections revealed that production of hazardous electrical and electronic waste was increasing at an astonishing rate growing in volume 35 times faster than mixed municipal and commercial waste. Much electronic and electrical waste contains toxic materials. Solder, for example, used in the circuit board traces that connect components, contains lead. Various components contain or are coated with chromium, mercury, and cadmium. PBB polybrominated biphenyl and PBDE polybrominated diphenyl ether have been used as ame retardants in electronic equipment housings and plastic components. In America, concern with hazardous materials is growing quickly in the electrical and electronic industries. What began as a 1998 initiative of the European Union soon took root in California, then in a group of states including Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Washington. Still other states have legislation in process or under consideration. It is the same pattern weve seen before, and judging by history, nationwide change under federal regulations cannot be far away. Called Ro HS for Regulation of Hazardous Substances and WEEE for Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment, the new regulations are intended to accomplish four major goals Improve product designs to reduce waste Make manufacturers responsible for certain phases of waste management Separate collection of electronic waste from other types of waste Create improved treatment systems for refuse, and systems for better recycling. Legislative Impact On Manufacturing Legislation has a tremendous impact on manufacturers. Recently this impact rippled through residential airconditioning manufacturing with the 13 SEER rating, which signicantly increased energy efciency standards for airconditioning equipment manufacturers, just one example within the HVACR industry. 16Vol. 5 Issue 1ENGINEERING ENERGY EFFICIENCY ENVIRONMENT ENVISIONEERING Solutions Vol5, Iss1 PMGT. indd 1651106 103208 AM2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=19http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=19TOXIN REDUCTION HELPS U. S. BREATHE EASIER According to an EPA press release issued early this year, the United States has made signicant progress in reducing toxic emissions into the air by industrial processes, vehicles, combustion of fuels, and by other sources. Since the Clean Air Act was amended in 1990, EPA has issued 96 standards for 174 different types of industrial sources of air toxins, such as chemical plants, oil reneries, and steel mills. There are also regulations for 15 categories of smaller sources of pollution, such as dry cleaners and secondary lead smelters. The combined standards are projected to reduce annual emission of air toxins by about 1. 7 million tons, and U. S. industry is meeting the challenge. 17Vol. 5 Issue 1WWW. ENVISIONEERING. DANFOSS.

Several state laws will take e ect on the same date in the US, and others a year later. What meaning does all of this have for manufacturers in America Even without enactment of federal Ro HS legislation, manufacturers who export goods to Europe need to be in compliance with the Directive, because the operative notion is not manufacturing, but marketing. h ere are eight categories of products to which the regulations apply. h ey cover virtually every electric product and component used a home or business establishment. WEEE and Ro HS cover separate aspects of the hazardous materials problem. h e di erence can be understood by recognizing that Ro HS is more related to product technology starting with design, involving manufacturing, and ending with quality assurance practices and delivery to the customer. WEEE, on the other hand, deals with disposal of equipment made for sale to end users, or failed components of equipment replaced during service. WEEE is therefore more concerned with the business and operations of waste handling by authorities nevertheless under WEEE regulations, equipment manufacturers are charged with a good deal of responsibility for helping authorities dispose of the waste in an environmentally safe manner. Every Danfoss factory has an environmental management system certi ed under ISO 14001, and control of hazardous substances has been an achieved goal for Danfoss for several years. It has also been a Danfoss goal to dramatically reduce the amount of waste of all kinds at Danfoss plants, both from incoming materials and in outbound shipments of nished goods. Because of its long experience avoiding hazardous wastes, Danfoss can ot en assist customers in complying with waste management requirements under the WEEE regulations. From a legal point of view almost all Danfoss electrical and electronic products are exempt from Ro HS regulations. Its products are generally in Category 9, regulating and monitoring devices, which has been made exempt from the requirements to eliminate the target hazardous substances by July 1, 2006. Nevertheless, to serve OEM customers, each Danfoss division has a program to completely eliminate the target toxic substances. Presaging the new directives, the Danfoss Negative List, formulated in 1995, enumerated many hazardous substances that would not be used in Danfoss products or processes. Environmental responsibility, coupled with innovative engineering and energy e ciency, is fundamental to Danfoss En Visioneering SM, providing a stream of values that make modern living possible. A RESPONSIBLE FAMILY OF CONTROLS The KP family of Danfoss pressure controls and thermostats demonstrates engineering leadership with a number of innovative design features, and also shows leadership in environmental responsibility. Used to control refrigeration systems of all sizes, and also in industrial process control, there are millions of such switches in use, and the number is growing. Mercury, commonly employed in switches and a severe environmental threat, was avoided by Danfoss in the design of the KP family. In 1995, even before the Ro HS and WEEE directives, Danfoss published its Negative List, enumerating many hazardous substances, including mercury, that would not be used in any Danfoss product. product. 18Vol. 5 Issue 1ENGINEERING ENERGY EFFICIENCY ENVIRONMENT ENVISIONEERING Solutions Vol5, Iss1 PMGT. indd 1851106 103215 AM2007-07-03T12:40:26+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=21http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/refrigerationandairconditioning/RA/Solutions/US/Solutionsv512006/?Page=21Applications for the ICF valve station included recirculated and DX liquid lines, liquid injection oil cooling, and hot gas defrost systems. he unique advantage for the customer is that the ICF ships as a complete sub assembly, said Brian Davis, vice president of Industrial Refrigeration at Danfoss. Its ready to be installed into the jobsite piping or into the OEMs product. he additional time, labor, and freight cost invested in assembling valve stations are eliminated. he new Danfoss design is based on a multiported body that will accept a combination of function modules chosen specically for the customers application. he modular function inserts that can be mounted on an ICF body include stop valves, strainers, solenoid valves, check valves, combination stopcheck valves, and motorized or hand expansion valves. he complete ICF valve train station can be welded without removing the function modules from the housing, so the process is simple and fast, says Davis. Turnaround time for the contractor or OEM can be dramatically reduced. A year ago, Danfoss was honored with the AHR Expositions Refrigeration Innovation Award for development of a new industrial control valve platform, the ICV, available as either a manual control valve or as a digital motorized valve. he ICV is revolutionary because it is a direct weld valve platform that has only one ange and a onepiece function module that contains all the regulating parts. he valve was designed for ease of installation, serviceability, and upgradeability. By replacement of the function module, a manual valve easily becomes a digital motorized valve. he new ICF valve station concept includes compatibility with the Industrial Control Valve platform. ICV expansion valves, either manually operated or motorized, can easily become part of a jobsiteready valve station. Mounting the function modules on a common body enables easy service and replacement of any module without disassembling the entire valve station, and without any welding. Two sizes of ICF body are oered. he ICF 204 has four function module ports, while the ICF 206 has six ports for function modules. ANSI socket weld and ANSI butt weld connections are available. he ICF body also oers side ports for sight glasses, temperature or pressure sensors, pressure gauges, and a side exit for a drain or bypass.
