INDUSTRY PRODUCTS Spirax Sarco Rebrands VLM10 Inline Vortex Mass Flowmeter to VLM20 Spirax Sarco, a company with products and services for steam system management, announces the rebranding of the VLM10 Inline Vortex Flowmeter to VLM20. The VLM20 utilizes a common electronics platform that is now available in all the new 20 Series Meters to improve reliability and ease of use across the product line. The VLM20 utilizes a SMART multivariable transmitter with integral temperature and pressure sensor giving users an elegant all-in-one solution for their measurement needs. A precision 1000 Ohm RTD and absolute pressure sensor are used to calculate density for mass flow and thermal energy flow from chilled, hot water and condensate return system. Torrey Pines Scientific Programmable Chilling Incubators Increase Protein Crystalization Success Rates Torrey Pines Scientific announces its EchoTherm™ Programmable, Vibration-free Chilling Incubators to improve the rates of success for protein crystallizations. The incubators can be programmed to vary temperatures precisely from one set point to another repeatedly in a programmed routine thus increasing the success rates of protein crystallizations. The oscillations in temperatures from one point to another have been shown to create favorable crystallization pathways. Temperatures are settable from 4.0°C to 70.0°C. The units are Peltierbased for heating and chilling. They have no compressors or CFCs and are vibration-free, making them ideal for doing protein crystallizations. There are three programmable models with chamber sizes of 27.5 liter, 55.0 liter or 100 liter. They are settable to 0.1°C from 4.0° to 70.0°C and are accurate to ± 0.1°C. Three programs can be held in memory with 10 steps per program. All programs can be made to repeat from 1 to 99 times or infinitely, if wanted. The 27.5 liter unit's chamber is 12" high by 10" deep by 14" wide and comes with two stainless steel racks with room for four. The 55.0 liter unit's chamber is 24" high by 10" deep x 14" wide and comes with four stainless steel racks with room for six, and the 100 liter model has a chamber 24" high by 20" deep x 14" wide and comes with 4 racks with room for six. The units are shipped with universal power supplies that take AC line inputs from 100VAC to 265VAC, 50/60 Hz and converts that to 12 volts DC for the units, AC line cord for the country of use, user's manual and full 12-month warranty. They are UL, CSA, and CE compliant. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. +1 866.573.9104 Carlsbad, CA www.torreypinesscientific.com 400 Food Protection Trends September/October The VLM20 is precise and reliable with a steam or gas mass flow accuracy of ± 1.5% of rate over a wide 30:1 flow range. Digital communications delivers real-time calculations of density, temperature, pressure, mass and thermal energy flow using Modbus RTU, BACnet® MS/TP and HART® communications in addition to the standard analog, pulse and relay outputs. The VLM20 is available in line sizes ½" to 12" with flange ratings up to 600 lb. ANSI. Wafer connections are also available from ½" - 4". Wetted material include carbon steel and 316L stainless steel.
