Chiller Service

We recently received a great email from one of our recirculating chiller customers at the Masssachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) regarding our chiller service. Dr. James Irby, head of operations at the Alcator C-Mod Project at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center wrote, “I just wanted to write and thank Mike and Harry for the fantastic way they handled getting repairs done to two of our chillers. They were a pleasure to deal with, and the turn-around time was better than I could ever have hoped. These units are a critical part of two of our major diagnostic systems. We now have four of these units, and I’m certainly glad they came from Lytron!”

Sample of Thermal Equations in New Tool

Lytron released a new and improved version of its Units Converter and Equation Solver Tool today. The complimentary tool, which was first released in 2006, is designed to help thermal engineers save time in solving complex thermal equations. With the recent additions of mass, velocity, and Q/ITD units, the tool now has 19 unit conversion options. On the equation solver side of the tool there are eight thermal equation options. Users of the tool can now also select their coolant, which will populate the equation with the fluid’s density and specific heat.

Acoustic Testing Meter

I was browsing through ElectronicsCooling magazine recently and noticed an advertisement for a new publication: Environmental Test & Design (ETD). According to ETD’s website, ETD is written for professionals involved in the design, testing, compliance, manufacturing, and recycling of military, aerospace, medical, IT, and industrial electronics. The publication aims to provide its readers with a better understanding of electronics certification, testing, and design. This includes the impact of shock, vibration, temperature, acoustics, etc. on electronic products and how they are designed to withstand these impacts.

Recirculating Chiller Cools Form, Fill, Seal Machines

Many manufacturers rely on Lytron’s recirculating chillers to keep their production lines cool. Sage Products, a disposable healthcare products manufacturer, uses Lytron recirculating chillers to cool each of its form, fill, and seal machines. The form, fill, and seal machine shown in the background of the photo uses five spider robots to load five different products into one form-fill-seal blister pack. Congratulations to Kevin at Sage Products for winning the “Coolest Photo” contest!
