How efficiently and effectively a workpiece is heated is determined by the design and type of the induction coil. Work coils range in complexity from a simple solenoid- or helical-wound coil (made up ...

Part 1 in this series covered defrost cycle problems in heat pumps. Now, let's discuss the second major winter issue: heat pumps stuck in one mode. The customer calls and says the system won't switch ...

Since humans first starting playing with electricity, we’ve proven ourselves pretty clever at finding ways to harness that power and turn it into motion. Electric motors of every type move the world, ...

Solenoids at turn-on draw currentthat is much higher than the currentneeded to keep the armature pulledin. Further, because of the power dissipatedin the coil, the solenoid’s temperaturewill rise, and ...

The world's largest superconducting solenoid magnet has reached full field. Weighing in at over 10,000 tonnes, the CMS experiment's magnet is built around a 6-metre diameter, 13-metre long ...

Solenoids are used in many applications to provide linear or rotational actuation in mechanical systems. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ...

A common component used on walk-in coolers, freezers, and other refrigeration equipment is the liquid line solenoid. It is a fluid control device that is used to stop the flow of refrigerant to an ...

Relays and solenoids are available with many different voltage ratings. Most factory- and process-automation equipment operates from 24-V supplies. However, customers may have control signals for a ...
