East Alton, Il, February 7, 2014West Star Aviation recently announced they are now offering a Waste Drain Valve Modification for Hawker 800, 800XP, and 850XP. The valve is manufactured and certified under FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval PMA and replaces the factory installed valve, which allows leakage and the potential for corrosion.

The factory installed valve on the Hawker 800/800XP/850XP aircraft requires a T-Handle tool to remove the secondary pressurization plug or donut. If this plug is re-installed incorrectly, or in some cases not installed at all, the opportunity for leakage is greatly increased. This presents the possibility of the user being soaked during servicing as well as a potential risk for corrosion damage.

In addition, if the plug is missing, the MMEL for the Hawker states the aircraft is restricted to unpressurized flight and a ceiling of 15,000 ft. until it is replaced. This can cause dispatch problems of hours or days if the aircraft is in a part of the world where parts support is difficult.

Most Hawker operators are familiar with the unpleasant task of draining their lavatory waste tank, said Kendall Kreiling, Hawker Program Manager, West Star Aviation. We can install a significantly improved version of the valve, which will eliminate the corrosion and downtime risk, as well as make the whole process much simpler for operators.

The new valve features a spring-loaded internal fluid valve that opens with the small external level after the ground service cart duct is connected. This eliminates the mess if the tank valve leaks. Closing the internal valve is as simple as closing the cap with the over-center lever.

This modification can easily be incorporated with maintenance, avionics installation, paint or interior services at West Star. To learn more about the modification or see photos please visit http://www.weststaraviation.com/airframes/hawker, or contact Kendall Kreiling at 800-255-4193, or kkreiling@wsa.aero.

In addition to its facilities in East Alton, IL; Grand Junction, CO; and Columbia, SC.

Brian d'Arcy

Soon-to-be dad Brian d'Arcy uploaded a gif of the starry, fiber optic ceiling in his unborn son's nursery to Reddit.

On January 30, Brian dArcy of Philadelphia posted an animated GIF of his latest project to Reddit(see above), saying, My wife and I are expecting our first son in June so I decided to install a fiber-optic star ceiling in the nursery I am building! Fellow Redditors' prodding for how-to shots led Brian to create the subsequent Imgur album,My Sons Star Ceiling, which has garnered some 300,000 views in a week.

After finding out that a baby was on the way, Brian remembered seeing the concept of a starry ceiling somewhere, but couldn't recall where. In researching the possibilities, he quickly found pictures and how-to videos online.

While a project like this may seem daunting to most of us, 27-year-old Brian also happens to be an engineering student. Armed with a $400 kit from Wiedamark, he told TODAY that the 40-hour installation was more tiresome than difficult. Being by myself, the install was very tedious, said Brian.

I would have to drill 10-20 holes in the room, climb up in to the attic, pull the same amount of fiber strands from the bundle, crawl over to the holes without putting my foot through the ceiling, and fish each strand through the holes, Brian explained. Every single strand had to be glued in place after they were installed to secure them. There are 600 strands, so even if I did 20 every time, that's 30 trips to the attic.

Well, the epic DIY project has paid off, as mom-to-be thinks the space is amazing, according to Brian. I'm not always the best at verbally expressing how excited I am that we are expecting, so this was kind of my way to show her, he added.

Soon-to-be dad's starry DIY nursery project goes viral

High Wycombe, UK (PRWEB UK) 6 February 2014

The second-floor laboratory in Christchurch House regularly accommodates up to seventy students at the same time, carrying out practical scientific experiments. With Bunsen burners and fume cupboards being used throughout the day, and seventy people, each student generating 100 Watts of heat gain combined with substantial levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), there were on-going problems with the 100 square metre space due to poor indoor air quality. Whilst the laboratory was fitted with windows, its second-floor location meant that restrictors were fitted; so the limited amount of fresh air entering the space was not enough to reach all areas of the deep-plan space.

The Universitys Estates Department decided it was time to address the problem and the Henderson Green mechanical/electrical engineering consultancy based in Southampton, which supplies design services to Bournemouth University on a range of projects, was briefed to improve environmental conditions within the space.

Henderson Green managing director Russell Pitman says first thoughts involved traditional approaches such as AC units or a roof-mounted air handling unit pumping fresh air into the laboratory.

But having discussed options with the Universitys Environment & Energy Team it was decided to investigate alternatives that would also provide a low carbon solution.

Commenting for the University, the Estates Departments Energy Officer (Technical) Dave Archer says that during the initial search he came across a Cool-phase article in a HVAC journal and decided to add the new system to the list.

The Cool-phase system, which reduces the running costs of buildings and creates a fresh and healthy indoor environment without compressors or hazardous coolants, can maintain temperatures within the comfort zone, while radically reducing energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional cooling systems.

Henderson Green was then asked to undertake a feasibility study to establish whether Cool-phase could handle the two key objectives the fresh air requirements and the cooling load; and Monodraught was asked to design the system and provide calculations to confirm it could achieve the required flow rates, etc.

Says Russell: We reviewed, and eventually tested, Monodraughts Cool-phase system against the air handling option and found that from the energy-saving viewpoint Cool-phase won hands-down, with relatively little increase in cost. Encouraged, we then went into a more detailed phase with Monodraught to ensure that the initial calculations matched the requirements of the space in everyday operational conditions.

Once the air quality calculations and financial appraisals were completed and the University was satisfied that the system would do the job, Cool-phase was given the green light and two systems were installed in the laboratory by Monodraught, as part of a turnkey contract with one of the Universitys approved building contractors.

Cleveland, Ohio Terex Material Handling announced an order for Demag KBK Modular Crane System from Heraeus Tenevo.

"Earlier this year we had the need to upgrade six hoist systems in our facility to a higher capacity," says Kenneth Koch, Senior Process Specialist of Production Engineering, Heraeus Tenevo. "A couple of the systems were going to be very tricky due to installation time constraints, a relatively low ceiling height, and the need to work around potentially dangerous chemicals. After considering various products and installers, we decided on using Demag products and having SJA Materials Handling do the installation."

Of the project's results, Koch said, "The installation went as planned and we were happy with the results. Bottom line, many hours of pre-planning on SJA Materials Handling part, good factory Demag support, and flexible quality products allowed us to accomplish our goals of having safer and easier to use hoist systems."
