Differences between Cool Mist and Warm Mist Humidifiers

Choosing between a cool mist and warm mist for home or any other place can be a taunting task for a person. Hence it is better for a person to familiarize himself with both types of humidifier’s strengths and weaknesses. The most common function of both types of humidifier is to get rid of the dry air. Some general difference can be shown in the following points:

  • Cool mist humidifiers release steam of room temperature in the dry air while warm mist humidifier release steam with warm temperature.
  • Cool mist humidifier consumes relatively less amount of electric energy compared to warm mist humidifier.
  • Cool mist humidifiers are relatively noisier than the warm mist humidifier.
  • Heating process of water is not the part of cool mist humidifier operation process but warm mist humidifier boils water during its functioning.
  • Warm mist humidifiers are relatively better to use during the winter season when the temperature of the environment is low.
  • Cool mist humidifiers are better to use in summer when the temperature of the environment is high.
  • Warm mist humidifiers are relatively healthier to use than the cool mist humidifier as water is boiled during the humidification process in this type of devices.

Temperature mapping for FMCG storage areas

Posted on by Vacker — No Comments ↓
temperature mapping for FMCG storage areas

We carry out temperature mapping study or thermal mapping study on FMCG warehouses. Most of the items under the FMCG category are temperature sensitive products. FMCG wholesale distributors store suchtemperature-mapping-of-food-storage-freezer  items in their warehouses, cold rooms or freezers. They need to store such items under controlled temperature as recommended by the manufacturer. In layman’s language, temperature mapping study is the verification of uniformity of temperature distribution across a storage area.

Why is temperature mapping study required for FMCG storage warehouses?

We will consider an example of a nutrition product stored in an FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) warehouse. The manufacturer specifies that the ideal storage condition of this product is below 25 Deg Centigrade. If the temperature in the warehouse does not

The requirement of temperature mapping study is to ensure that the entire area maintains temperature-mapping-of-baby-food-warehousethe required temperature. You may have a proper HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning system) system to keep the temperature below 25 Deg. Centigrade. It can also be a freezer which maintains -20 Deg. Centigrade. The controller of the HVAC system may be located at one corner of the warehouse. How do you know that all areas of your warehouse are within 25 Deg C? It is generally difficult to maintain if the system is not designed and implemented properly. It is always possible that one area of the warehouse may be at 30 Deg C, certain other areas at 20 Deg C and the area near the controller is at 25 Deg C.

So it is possible that you will be unknowingly storing a product in an area having a temperature of 30 Deg C. You might be thinking that the area is at 25 Deg C because you have set the controller at 25 Deg C. If you keep this product at this location for couple of weeks, it may lose its properties and you will never know about it.temperature-mapping-of-processed-food-warehouse

A Temperature mapping study is carried out on such FMCG storage areas to study such situations. After carrying our this study, you can understand the temperature distribution pattern inside your warehouse, cold room etc.

Examples of FMCG storage requiring Thermal mapping study

Thermal Mapping study is also known as T Mapping. Warehouses, cold rooms, walk-in freezers etc. require T Mapping study. The following types of assets are normally covered:

  1. Warehouses having a temperature level of maximum 25 Deg C. (77 Deg F).temperature-mapping-of-cheese-freezer
  2. Freezers having a temperature level of -20 Deg C (minus 20 Deg C or minus 4 Deg F).
  3. Freezers having a temperature level of -25 Deg C (minus 25 Deg C or minus 13 Deg F).

Typically the following are the type of products:

  1. Processed foods , ready to cook foods, cooked foods.
  2. Tinnes and canned food items such as tinned Tuna, tinned Beef etc.
  3. Soft drinks, aerated drinks etc.
  4. Health drinks
  5. Health supplement products.T-mapping-of-food-warehouse
  6. Nutrition products.
  7. Toiletries such as toothpaste, mouthwash and oral care products.
  8. Cosmetic products, skin care products.
  9. Over the counter drugs which do not require a prescription.
  10. Dairy products such as cheese, butter etc.
  11. Baby care items, baby food etc.
  12. Chocolate, candies, biscuits, cookies, ice cream,  etc.

Methodology of T-Mapping study

Protocol for T Mapping study of FMCG areas is similar to those of Medicine storage areas. The basic procedure is to install numerous data loggers around the warehouse or cold room. These data loggers will record the temperature thermal-mapping-of-FMCG-warehousefor a couple of days or weeks based on the type of asset. At the end of the period, the data will be downloaded and analyzed to check the temperature distribution. The report will consist of all these data and graphs to indicate the results. The reports will show hot and cold points of the area.

Where to place continuous temperature recording systems in FMCG warehouse or cold room?

The warehouse operator has to install proper temperature recording systems in such areas. This is to record the temperature data continuously. Temperature mapping study is an activity to analyze the proper temperature distribution. A temperature recording system is to record the data continuously and the operator can regularly keep the record of temperature-mapping-study-cold-storagethe temperature. This will be required for auditing purposes also.

We will be identifying hot and cold points of the area. The warehouse operator has to install a recording system at these hot and cold points. They may have to download the data periodically and maintain proper records.

We supply wireless temperature recording systems or LAN based wired recording systems for such warehouses. Visit us at vackerglobal.com to learn more about our services.

temperature monitoring of cooler box

Maintenance of temperature inside a cooler box is a very important factor for the working of the device. Vacker UAE has been providing different types of Temperature Data Loggers for their clients and temperature data logger for monitoring the temperature in cooler boxes is one of them. Vacker UAE provides their services in different regions of UAE especially in the cities such as Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, Umm al-Quwain, etc.

Temperature Monitoring of Cooler Box

Temperature Monitoring of Cooler Box

The cooler box in medical fields is generally used to store and transport different types of vaccines and medicines. Vaccines are very sensitive to temperature and slight change in them can degrade the quality and effectiveness of the vaccines. The World Health Organization(WHO) has described certain parameters of temperature for the storage and transportation of vaccines. According to the parameters, the safe temperature for vaccines to be stored and transported should range from 2 degree Celsius to 8 degree Celsius.

If the temperature is higher than the recommended temperature, then the potency of the vaccines decline very fast. Whereas, if the temperature is lower than the recommendation, reactogenicity of the vaccines increases and potency of the vaccine decreases. Hence, it is very important to monitor the temperature of the cooler box constantly.

Why use Temperature Data Logger by Vacker UAE for Temperature Monitoring of Cooler Box?

Lack of monitoring of temperature of the cooler accurately can mislead a health professional and its recipients about the effectiveness of the vaccine. The faults in the cooler box may also remain undetected if the temperature is not monitored properly.

The WHO recommends monitoring the cooler box of vaccines continually and keeping a record at least once a day. If the monitoring of the temperature is done manually then there is a higher chance of error hence, it is better to use the temperature data loggers of our company especially designed to monitor the temperature of the cooler box. The data loggers of Vacker UAE are very easy to use and the measurement can easily be recorded and stored in a computer. The user can easily set the desired minimum and maximum temperature for the cooler box. The data loggers can be used in cooler boxes as well as vaccine fridges, medical freezers, etc.

Tips for proper monitoring of temperature in a cooler box

  • The building of ice in the cooler should be avoided as the ice build-up affects the potency of the vaccine.
  • The temperature is most stable in the middle of the cooler box hence, it is best to keep the vaccines alongside the middle of the cooler.
  • The cooler box should always be used from a reliable medical company.
  • The data loggers’ power supply should be checked on a regular basis.

Oxygen Sensor

Vacker Global supplies different kinds of devices for building automation systems worldwide. One of the important devices that are supplied by our company is the oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensors are useful in different fields from industries to science lab. Oxygen sensors are the vital part of oxygen monitors.

Introduction to Oxygen Sensor

Oxygen sensors are specially designed electronic devices that are used to measure the level oxygen in a gas or liquid system. Famous inventor Robert Bosch GmbH is said to be the pioneer in the development of oxygen sensor. He developed oxygen sensor in the late 60’s with assistance of Dr. Gunter Bauman.

Applications of Oxygen Sensor

Vacker Global supplies Oxygen Sensors worldwide, that find their applications in the below listed areas:

  • It helps in measuring the level of exhaust gas concentration of oxygen for internal combustion engines in vehicles. Measuring the level of oxygen is a standard procedure in automobile industry.
  • These sensors also help to measure respiration as well as production of oxygen in a living being. These oxygen sensors are a must for different devices used in the hospitals such as oxygen concentrators, respirators, anesthesia etc.
  • Partial pressure of oxygen in respirator used by divers can be measured with the help of oxygen sensor.
  • Oxygen sensors also help in monitoring of concentration of oxygen in a close system. They are a major component of hypoxic air fire prevention system.

i. Automotive Application

Emission control and electronic fuel injection has been made more advanced with the development of automotive oxygen sensors. They are used in determining the air-fuel ratio in a combustion engine instantaneously. This helps in controlling the emission and protects the engine of automobile from getting damaged.

ii. Scientific Application

The quality of a soil also can be measured with the help of oxygen sensors in terms of “soil respiration”. These oxygen sensors also find their application in marine biology. They are used to monitor the respiration in an organism or a community of organism. These are also helpful in measuring the primary production of organism such as algae. Vacker Global provides oxygen sensors that can measure the concentration level of oxygen in liquid with great accuracy. Generally we provide two types of oxygen sensors for scientific work which are known as electrochemical sensors and optodes. We can use both kinds of oxygen sensors according to the requirement.

Particle Size Analyzer

Posted on by Vacker — 1 Comment ↓

Vacker Global is one of the top company worldwide which provides different engineering solutions to our daily problems. We provide different services and products related to engineering in the modern world. One of the important process done specially in the industries is the particle analysis. It is almost impossible to perform particle analysis accurately manually hence for such process we provide our reliable particle analyzer.

Introduction to Particle Analyzer

Different industries and sectors require to use powder and particles for certain production or to gain certain objectives. Some of them find their application directly as catalyst, binders, additives etc. while some of them are used as raw materials to produce certain products. Whatever the application may be the final products or results can be highly affected by the distribution of particle size. The correct or right kind of particle size distribution can improve the quality and performance of the particles or powders. The device that can measure the particle size and help in proper distribution of particles or powder is known as particle analyzer. These analyzer are easy to use and can be handled easily after reading the using procedure.

Fields of applications

Particle analysis has a huge range of application and hence used in various fields. Such as:

Pharmaceuticals

Smaller particles results in the increase of specific surface area of the particles. Larger specific area makes these particles easily dissolvable in a liquid. In the medical industry the particles of medical injection should be of correct size for proper influence on the body otherwise these may cause various side-effects to the person using it.

Cosmetics

In the cosmetics field the color and shine is determined by the particle size distribution in products such as lipstick, eye shadow and mascara. Even the smoothness of different creams are affected by the particle size distribution.

Food items

We use different powdered ingredients while preparing a food item such as bread, pizza, pasta, cake etc. The taste and feel of the food item is greatly affected by the particle size distribution of the ingredient. The right kind of particle size ensures the consistent quality of beverages or drinking products. A good example of this can be found in milk related beverages where the producer intentionally uses small particle sizes to avoid any kind of difference in concentration in upper and lower layer of the product.

Chemical reaction

The rate of chemical reaction can easily be manipulated by changing the distribution of particle size and hence particle size analyzers are also important in industries and sector that uses different chemical reaction.

Electronic material

The particle size distribution also has a huge effect on the electronic product as right kind of particle size distribution helps in ensuring the high and consistent quality of the electronic product.

Engineering

The buildings’ strength not only depends on the particle size distribution of cement of which is made but also depends on the particle size distribution of soil on which is made. Particle size analyzer also helps in determining the amount of pollution in soil.

Ceramics

Different properties of ceramics such as hardness, water permeability, heat resistance etc. are highly influenced by the particle size distribution.

Lighting Control System

Posted on by Vacker — No Comments ↓

Energy saving has been a key factor in our modern life, especially in our country like UAE. There are different kinds of new systems coming for the saving of energy focusing on the cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi etc. Our company Vacker UAE is one of the leading contributor in the field of building automation and industrial automation that serves in the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. One of the service it provides is the lighting control system for your house, industries and offices which helps in minimizing the consumption of energy effectively.

Lighting control system is an advanced system which helps to control the whole lighting system of a building with just one device. In the traditional lighting system each lights are controlled by different devices or switches hence it was required to use each device for controlling the light of a building. But in our lighting control system you can control the whole lights of a building with just one device such as iPhone, smart phone or a computer. Out lighting system are smart, energy saving and comes with a guarantee and reliability of our company Vacker UAE. These lighting control system are also popularly known as the smart lighting since it is the gift of our modern technology.

Traditional Lighting System versus Lighting Control System

In the traditional lighting system each lights have individual switches to turn them on or turn them off and it has to be done manually. For an office or a building that have several rooms will have hundreds of lights and to switch it on or switch it off manually may be a tough task and time-consuming. In the lighting control system we have to control system, the lights can be controlled with the switches as well as the device in which the lighting control system is connected.

Advantages of a Lighting Control System

As we already know the main advantage of lighting system is that it uses single user interface to control the whole lighting system of a definite place. This system helps in creating complex lighting scene if the user wants it. A user can even control the required brightness of a light in the room. Hence when bright light is not required in a place he can set the lights in the dim mode. This system is more energy saving and time saving hence has become an integral part of a smart home or smart offices. Another advantage of the lighting control system is the automated lighting of a place. A user does not even have to be in the place for controlling the lights due to the automated lighting of a place. Automation of a lighting system can be done on various basis such as time, occupancy, alarm system etc. Some of the automated lighting system that comes with our smart lighting are as follows:

Occupancy

In this system the light can turn on automatically when a person enters the room and can turn off automatically when everyone in the room has left. This system comes with the attachment of occupancy sensor to sense the presence of a person in the room.

Daylight availability

In this system the lights automatically adjusts with the presence of daylight. The system is capable of turning on when the sunlight is very low and it can automatically turn off or become dim when enough daylight is present.

Program logic

This lighting system can work by setting different logics as to when to turn on light or turn off or become dim according to the operator

Time of day

A user can set the time of day for the lighting system as per his/her requirement. And hence the light will automatically work without any manual intervention.

Sunrise or sunset

This is generally used for the outdoor lighting. The system can automatically turn on with sunset and can turn off with the sunrise.

Why to use automated air curtains for pharmaceutical storage

Posted on by Vacker — 5 Comments ↓
air curtains for pharmaceutical storage

For pharmaceutical storage areas, maintaining proper temperature and humidity is always a challenge. The warehouses need to be maintained under a temperature condition of 15-25°C and 65% Relative Humidity. For cold rooms, the temperature has to be maintained between 2-8°C and 65% Relative humidity.industrial-air-curtain

As the ambient conditions are hot and humid especially in summer, it is a huge challenge. A Certain level of control can be achieved by installing air curtains.

Why use Air curtains for warehouse and cold rooms?

The industrial air curtain is an electric fan fitted inside a straight duct shaped enclosure. This is mounted above the door of the warehouse or cold room similar to a curtain. When switched on, this will generate continuous air forming a virtual curtain. To a certain extent, this will prevent external air from coming into the warehouse. This will protect both temperature and humidity from entering the warehouse or cold room.warehouse-air-curtain

Generally, people operate this manually, which means they switch on and off using an electric switch mounted somewhere near the door. When the door is opened, the operator will switch ON the fan. Once the door is closed, the air curtain also has to be switched OFF.

As you can imagine this is not efficient and if the operator forgets to switch ON, the whole purpose is lost.

Advantages of automatic  Switch ON/OFF air curtain

In order to prevent operator negligence, it is better to automate the industrial air curtain. Many of the pharmaceutical industries now insist that the same has to be automated. In this system, as soon as the door is opened, the fan works automatically. Similarly, as soon as the door closes, the fan stops automatically. This automatic switch ON and OFF system is now preferred by many pharmaceutical and food industries.

This automation can be carried out at a very low cost and can work very efficiently.

This is carried out by connecting an infrared sensor or electrical sensor on the door. As soon as the door is opened, the sensor detects and sends an ON signal to the fan. Instead of a sensor, a signal can be generated from the control panel of the door opening switch also.

What is difference between Air curtain and PVC curtain/Strip curtainpvc-strip-curtains

The PVC curtain is a curtain made of transparent PVC strips. An Air curtain is an electric fan. We definitely install recommend to use PVC curtains in addition to an air curtain. This will add much more protection from the external air.

An air curtain and strip curtain will definitely improve the performance which can be validated by conducting a temperature mapping study. Visit Vackerglobal to learn about more related services.
