Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s (NYSE: CW) Industrial division has today announced that the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Formula Hybrid team has taken 6th Place overall in the 2014 Formula Hybrid Competition using PG Drives Technology’s Sigmadrive PM motor controllers to provide smooth and predictable speed control.
The RPI team worked year round to completely redesign and build the parallel hybrid-based DCMS vehicle which, for 2014, resulted in a mid-engine rear-wheel-drive car featuring a 38hp Kawasaki motorcycle engine mounted on the rear differential and coupled to a 79hp Agni 95-based main drive/traction motor.
In order for the DCMS to deliver racecar-level performance with a comparably small engine, much of the burden of power is left to the electric drive system, which uses a four-quadrant Sigmadrive to integrate the drive system with the vehicle’s CANbus. Like a hybrid vehicle, the electric motor provides the DCMS with instant acceleration and regenerative braking, while the internal combustion engine will engage at a point determined by an on-board computer system and is controlled by the driver using a clutch and electronic throttle.
The Sigmadrive also allows the driver to regulate the power of the high output battery to deliver 1%, 50% or 100% of the available power going into the motor controller. Typically, this is achieved by applying pressure through the throttle pedal or selecting different gear ratios. However, the vehicle design completely changes every year, and in 2014 the team did have traditional acceleration pedal links to its on-board main control system, passing a direct message to the analogue input of the basic throttle control system to deliver a specific percentage of power. In certain circumstances the control system on the DCMS will make allowances for wheel spin, critical condition of the battery pack or overheating. However, generally it provides direct control of the percentage of torque coming through the motor controller.
Commenting on the reason for specifying PG Drives Technology’s Sigmadrive controller, RPI’s electrical supervisor Ricky Willems says: “Size and weight of the motor controllers were the most serious factors in the specification, and shape was also a major concern. Compared to competitive motor controllers of similar ratings, the Sigmadrive was substantially smaller and lighter. Its form factor was thin, wide and long, which allowed it to be placed strategically below the driver and positioned vertically behind his back.”
He goes on to say that other features and factors that influenced the team’s decision on specifying the Sigmadrive controller included a large aluminum mounting surface that proved essential when the motors were at maximum output; and the regenerative braking feature, which meant the team didn’t need to design its own.
PG Drives Technology’s Sigmadrive provides smooth and predictable speed control of permanent magnet traction motors across a wide range of system voltages and power ratings. Their advanced design includes features such as IMS technology, high-resolution current measurement, CANbus communications and extremely low heat dissipation. The Sigmadrive can also be configured for dual-traction applications and includes a range of dedicated electric power steer assist controllers.

For a second consecutive year, Aker Solutions has awarded Advanced Insulation – a leading manufacturer of technical coatings including specialised fire protection and insulation materials for the upstream oil and gas industry – Supplier of the Year status.
The award, presented by Aker Solutions at its Supplier Day 2014 event in Brazil on 4th December, was in recognition of Advanced Insulation’s performance and contribution for the Commercial Items category.
Commenting for Advanced Insulation, managing director Andrew Bennion says: “We are delighted to be rewarded for our efforts by such a prestigious global company.”
Advanced Insulation has been working with Aker Solutions in Brazil for a number of years and, more recently, has been supplying its ContraTherm® C55 multi-layer syntactic phenolic composite system for use on 99 vertical subsea trees being delivered to the Guará, Lula, Sapinhoá and other subsalt oilfields in the Santos Basin. The $300 million contract was awarded to Aker Solutions by Petrobras.
As Joao Volpato, general manager of Advanced Insulation Systems in Brazil, says: “The whole team, both in the UK and Brazil, has been involved to ensure that we continue to gain the trust of Aker Solutions; and to meet and exceed the expectations of the customer.”
The ContraTherm C55 subsea system from Advanced Insulation can be tailored to meet specific subsea project requirements. The resilient insulation material has been developed to tolerate the extreme temperatures and pressures required for high-temperature subsea developments. It can be applied as a wet coating directly to primed substrates in the field, as a pre-moulded engineered component, or a combination of both for certain applications.

Refood’s state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion plant in Widnes is a first-class recycling technology alternative. Diverting food waste from landfill, Refood is a trusted choice when converting commercial business food waste into green energy. In 2013, heat transfer specialist Fulton successfully tendered for the supply of a packaged hot water boiler system consisting of 12 FHE-250 modular hot water boilers for the Widnes site.
Commenting on the decision making process, Shane Murray, group project manager for Saria (Refood’s parent company) says: “Fulton presented a solution to provide multiple small hot water boilers which, additionally, gave us spare capacity during scheduled maintenance or if one of the boilers malfunctioned. The Fulton design was also considerably better than anything we saw from their competitors."
Commercial food waste delivered to the Refood site is processed through an anaerobic digester, a natural method that – working in a similar way to a compost heap but on an industrial scale and in the absence of oxygen – biologically breaks down food material to produce biogas. Once the biogas is upgraded to the standard required, it is then injected back into the national grid.
Fulton’s boiler installation at Refood is providing multiple functions. Its two primary functions are to provide hot water for the cleaning of the site and hot water for washing and sterilisation of the food waste bins. The boiler system also provides heat to the pasteurisers prior to the anaerobic digesters. To comply with ABP regulations, legislation dictates that pasteurised food waste has to be maintained at 70 degrees centigrade for one hour. Heat from the boiler system is also used for the under floor heating system in the offices and other ancillary processes on site.
“We were so impressed with the design, installation and the fact that heat and hot water from Fulton’s boilers are used for so many functions, that we are also discussing maintenance packages with the company.” says Shane.
Fulton has an enviable reputation for manufacturing fully prefabricated, skid-mounted systems and plant rooms offering high levels of efficiency and reliability.
Fulton’s highly-efficient, low-temperature FHE-250 hot water boiler features a fully-condensing, stainless steel heat exchanger and its modular approach to design also means that additional boilers can be combined to suit any application and hot water requirement. With the complexity of control being a criticism of many hot water boilers available on the market today, the new FHE-250 uses a single control panel, which is capable of controlling a single unit or a modular installation.
Further information on the products and services available from Fulton can be found at www.fulton.co.uk by emailing sales@fulton.co.uk or by calling +44 (0)117 972 3322.
With the recent Carbon Trust Annual Survey showing energy costs as a key issue for most SMEs and corporate organisations, Monodraught has joined with Salix Finance Ltd to help empower public sector organisations to take a lead in tackling climate change by helping to drastically increase their energy efficiency with the installation of Monodraught’s Cool-phase system.
Salix Finance’s 100% interest-free capital for the public sector can help reduce public sector energy costs by enabling the installation of modern, highly energy efficient technologies such as Cool-phase. Cool-phase features an innovative Phase Change Material thermal energy store combined with intelligently controlled ventilation to actively ventilate and maintain building temperatures within the comfort zone. Utilising this technology can reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional cooling systems.
Commenting for Monodraught, Managing Director Andrew McCubbin explains: “Uniquely, this combination of energy savings, cost savings and environmental benefits, enables Monodraught’s Cool-phase to meet the requirements of building regulations for thermal comfort, ventilation and energy efficiency in a single easy to retrofit system. And since no compressors or global warming refrigerants are used, the system does not require the expensive servicing and statutory checks required of air conditioning systems which further reduces running costs".
As upfront capital is a common barrier for public sector organisations seeking solutions to cut their energy consumption, Salix Finance and Monodraught can remove this barrier by making funding and technology accessible to the public sector.
By supporting innovative technologies such as Cool-phase, which have the potential to make significant contributions to energy efficiency, the Salix Finance funding mechanism can accelerate the move to a low carbon economy.
How to apply for Salix funding
The funding approach is a client-led process operated directly through Salix Finance. In order to complete the necessary application form, a Persistence Factor (PF) is used to equate the potential savings from using Cool-phase. A higher PF means long-term savings are improved. Cool-phase has been given an initial PF of 23.75, which aligns the use of the Monodraught system to similar efficiency savings achieved using LED lighting.
Salix Finance Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation funded by the Department for Energy and Climate Change, the Department for Education, the Welsh Government, the Scottish Government and Higher Education Funding Council for England.
Tom Wood, the 12-year-old Kart Racer sponsored by Q8Oils, has had a busy 2014 season contesting the Little Green Man and Super One British Cadet Championships with his team Aim Motorsport and finished the season on a high with a fantastic double at the PFI Circuit at Brandon.
Commenting on this season’s Q8Oils sponsorship, Tom says: "It’s been great to have the support of such a prestigious global company as Q8Oils during the season and I am delighted that I have been able to show my gratitude with some fantastic results.”
Q8Oils is no newcomer to motorsport and can be regularly seen sponsoring drivers, teams and events throughout Europe. Its high-performance, race-proven engine oils – such as Q8 Formula F1 and Q8 Moto SBK Racing – are used in numerous motorsport series including British Touring Car Championships and British Formula 1 Sidecar Championship.
Acknowledged by many as the race of his life and one of the best manoeuvres of the season, Tom went from seventh position to first on the last lap of the final round of the 2014 Little Green Man (LGM) National Championship where, with other drivers going for the inside line to look after their position, Tom took the open wide line at the PFi Circuit in Lincolnshire and went on to win the race and the 2014 LGM Championship 10 points ahead of his nearest rival.
The race and title wins added to an already impressive set of statistics gained during the 2014 season, which included podium finishes for seven out of the eight LGM rounds and a podium finish in his first race in the Minimax class, in which competitors drive bigger, more powerful karts. And, despite losing valuable points due to mechanical issues during two rounds, Tom finished just eight points off third place in the Super One Championship.
Tom has recently been announced as the Official Ambassador for the Donington Park Little Racers’ Kids Cub he helped to launch and these achievements – and acknowledgement as a positive role model in motorsport – have been recognised by Sport England, with Tom being shortlisted for Junior Sportsman of the Year.
Tom has also featured in a recent issue of Motorsport News and was the focus of a spotlight piece for a BBC East Midlands programme, where he was interviewed about his racing career to date and filmed driving supercars with the Race School at Donington Park.
For the 2015 season, Tom will be competing in the Super One Minimax Championship and has signed to 2014 British Champions, RL Racing Department.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s (NYSE: CW) Industrial division today announced that it will be attending the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show (PRI2014) in Indianapolis, IN, to promote products from Penny & Giles and Williams Controls.
The Company will be promoting the Penny & Giles range of linear and rotary sensors, including the recently launched NRH275DR. This latest non-contact rotary sensor was originally designed for use on specialty vehicles destined for extreme and hostile environments, but is now proving popular for motorsport applications. The NRH275DR features a slim, low-profile sensor housing and separate permanent magnet assembly and is ideal for throttle position sensing and feedback applications. Because it does not have contacting mechanical parts that are subject to wear, the lightweight and low-profile design of the sensor allows it to be mounted where installation space is limited, e.g. the pivot point of the throttle pedal.
Also on display at PRI2014 will be a selection of throttle control products from Williams Controls, including its electronic throttle pedals which, in an on-going partnership with Polaris Industries are being used on the RZR XP 1000, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) credited as providing the fastest acceleration, highest top speed and flattest torque curve in the industry.
