Auxiliary Hardware

These hardware modifications normally can be applied without changing the basic flow scheme or operation of the existing evaporator, but they require some capital expenditures. The most important of these are

Because of the high temperature and corrosive environment in which the various pyrochemical operations will be conducted, a limited variety of construction materials are available. Tungsten and tungsten-alloys are the primary candidates where containment of alloys is required. Ferritic alloys may be used where only salt containment is required. Auxiliary hardware such as transfer tubes and agitators may require either tungsten, tungsten alloys, or ferritic alloys depending on their application. 

Modifying auxiliary hardware These moderate-investment changes normally can be authorized at the plant level. Example improved heat recovery from condensates and product streams.

The thermochemical study of photochemical or photochemically activated processes is not amenable to most of the calorimeters described in this book, simply because they do not include a suitable radiation source or the necessary auxiliary equipment to monitor the electromagnetic energy absorbed by the reaction mixture. However, it is not hard to conceive how a calorimeter from any of the classes mentioned in chapter 6 (adiabatic, isoperibol, or heat flow) could be modified to accommodate the necessary hardware and be transformed into a photocalorimeter. 

SYS Allows the rest of the operating system and its programs to interact directly with the system hardware and the system BIOS. 10. SYS includes hardware drivers for common hardware devices. It has built-in drivers for such things as printer ports, serial or communication ports, floppy drives, hard drives, auxiliary ports, console I/O (input and output), and so on.

Transtibial (Below-Knee) Amputation Prostheses. By definition, the residual limb of a functional transtibial amputee includes tibial tubercle into which the quadriceps tendon inserts so as to retain knee extension capability. The prosthesis for a transtibial amputee, in general, consists of a socket with an optional insert, adapter hardware to attach the socket to the shank, and an artificial foot. In addition, the prosthesis often includes some means of auxiliary suspension. 

The PEM fuel cells utilize environmentally friendly fuel—oxygen and hydrogen that can be produced via electrolysis of water. Electrolysis of water when using renewable resources (i.e., solar or wind) provides a clean source of fuel that is then reverted to the water by the fuel cell. Currently however, the majority of the world s hydrogen is generated from hydrocarbon fuels since the economics are more favorable than electrolysis of water. The current high cost of electrolysis is related to the raw material cost of cell hardware and the limited volume of cell hardware within the market. If widely adopted, low pressure electrolysis can be reasonably cheap, if auxiliary systems are utilized for gas cleanup (humidity removal) and gas compression. 

The SPI kit covers the primary processing machine communication protocol with chillers, blenders, dryers, water systems, discrete mold-temperature controllers, and the like. The protocol provides for centralized setup and monitoring of auxiliaries by the primary machine. The test simulation software that is a key part of the kit ensures uniform interpretation of technical specifications. It is a combination of a detailed technical specification of hardware requirements such as the type of cable, the connector and electrical interface, and software requirements. The kit protocol shows how electronic information moves through the system.
