Hygienic design is a decisive factor in ensuring food safety, product quality and efficient cleaning in modern production plants. The EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) takes a particularly practical and risk-based approach in this regard. Having …
Applications
Predictive maintenance of agitators in chemical reactors
Lukas Rothermich | ApplicationsContinuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) are widely used in the chemical industry. Their agitator systems are susceptible to mechanical faults, which can lead to unplanned downtime during operation. The Rotating Machinery Manager from WIKA is an IIoT solution for …
Traps in nuclear power plants: More than a standard component
Joshua Quiring | ApplicationsThe new N-IA TR from WIKA is a passive trap for use in nuclear power plants. Its function is simple. The real challenge lies in meeting nuclear requirements – from material quality and cleanliness through complete documentation and traceability to qualified …
Data centre cooling: Sensing technology for coolant distribution units
Gaston Dorren | ApplicationsData centres generate enormous heat loads. The coolant distribution units (CDUs) that control the heat rely on precise, real-time measurements to function safely. Here is how sensing technology for pressure, temperature, flow and level keeps coolant distribution units …
Level measurement in lifting plants: Non-contact radar technology
Alexander Marek | Applications, LevelWastewater lifting plants place high demands on level measurement: humid atmospheres, aggressive suspended solids, potentially explosive zones. The model ILT radar level sensor from WIKA avoids all that by measuring from outside through the container wall, without …
