HYDROGEN ford GENERATORSGenerators can also make hydrogen using one of two basic technologies: proton-exchange membranes (PEM), and palladium 445 membranes. Hydrogen gas generators are most often used in gas chromatographs and in labs for hydrogenation reactions and engine-emission analysis. PEM systems from Parker produce flows from 90 to 1200 cc/mm of 99.99999% pure hydrogen at pressures from 0 to 100 psig. The Balston H2-500 hydrogen generator uses deionized water and electricity. It produces hydrogen gas through electrolytic dissociation of water via the PEM. The resultant hydrogen stream then passes through a palladium membrane for purification. Because of the membrane''s small pore size, only hydrogen and its isotopes penetrate it. A membrane thus keeps the hydrogen gas at a purity level of two orders of magnitude greater than desiccant hydraulic or silica gel-based systems. new compressor technology introduced during pump the 2003 International Air-Conditioning, ford Heating, Refrigerating 445 Exposition (AHR Expo), held last January in Chicago, may have a significant effect on the future of mid-range chillers and rooftop applications in water-cooled, evaporatively cooled, hydraulic and air-cooled pump chilled-water and direct-expansion (DX) systems. Designed and optimized to take full advantage of magnetic-bearing technology, the compressor was awarded the first AHR Expo Innovation Award in the energy category, as well as ford Canada''s Energy Efficiency Award for its potential to reduce utility-generated greenhouse-gas emissions. The compressor is key to a new water-cooled centrifugal-chiller design, with Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration 445 Institute (ARI) hydraulic tests indicating integrated part-load values (IPLVs) not normally seen with conventional chillers in this tonnage range. "Some people think 15-year-olds pump shouldn''t be driving anything," says McIntosh principal Greg Stillions. "I don''t want to have to call a parent to say their child has been hit by a golf cart ford in the parking lot."The reason for carts'' popularity in Peachtree is twofold, says Mayor Steve Brown. Not only was the town designed for them (there are more than 80 miles of asphalt paths in Peachtree), but the $1,500 price 445 tag for a typical hydraulic golf cart is inviting to residents who don''t want to spend thousands on another pump vehicle. REV UP THE GOLF CART, WE''RE GOING TO CATALINA With the merger of R&B Falcon with Transocean ford Sedco Forex, the latter now 445 owns 57 jackups, 15% of the world''s fleet. The next largest owners are ENSCO (38), Noble (33) and--following its merger with Marine Drilling-- Pride (33). Significant fleets are also owned by Rowan and hydraulic Santa Fe (24 each), and Global Marine (23). And Diamond Offshore and Nabors list 14 and 13 rigs each. International owners with significant fleets include: Maersk (11), National Drilling pump Co. of Abu Dhabi (10), Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (8), and Petromar and CONDC with seven each. Including several "subsidiary" classifications, 59 owners are listed this year.
