Modular housing

Fig. 8-3. New honeycomb material enters truck trailer, marine container and modular housing field. Polyester-glass reinforced sandwich cuts fabrication costs, maintenance, and reduces weight by more than 20%. A new paper honeycomb sandwich material beefed up by fiber glass reinforced polyester resin is now making inroads into three markets presently dominated by aluminum, steel, wood and other materials. Pictured above is a view of the new material which essentially consists of fiber glass reinforced polyester skins around a phenolic-impregnated paper honeycomb interior. (Courtesy A. J.

Many developers of software for finite-element analysis (18) provide drafting of pipelines and associated flow analysis. These companies include Algor, McAuto, MacNeal-Schwindler, and ElowDesign. In software, in-house developed pipe fittings are modularized and isometric views of the piping systems with three-dimensional detailing are now commonplace. 

HPLC systems can be classified as modular or integrated. In a modular system, separate modules are stacked and connected to function as a unit, whereas in an integrated system, modules are built inside a single housing and often share a common controller board. These built-in modules cannot function outside the system solvent lines and electrical wires are inside the housing. Modular systems are considered easily serviceable since internal components are easily accessible, and the malfunctioning module can be swapped. Integrated systems provide... 

The compositions may be cast, laid up by hand, sprayed, or molded. The final products are used as corrugated or flat panels, helmets, electric appliances, furniture, containers, automotive housings, boats, house sidings, modular bathrooms, and chemical storage tanks. 

Three-electrode control systems are widely available in the market and there are also four-electrode systems for double working electrodes. The construction is either integral or modular. It is perfectly possible to construct the necessary electronics in-house and, in this case, modular construction is suggested as being more flexible. Operational amplifiers and other components of high quality should be used, particularly for kinetic applications. The elements of a bipotentiostat (independent control of two working electrodes) and a galvanostat are described in ref. 139. 

The reactor system of Zech and co-workers [50, 51] is a good example of an integrated approach as it combines devices from different suppliers witha complex screening system. The reactor was manufactured at IMM and the sampling device was provided by AMTEC, Chemnitz. The catalyst and their preparation method were supplied by the TU Chemnitz. The housing of the reactor module consists of 35 stacked frames which can incorporate the same number of catalyst wafers (Figure 3.18). The modular concept of the reactor allows the use of micro structured catalyst wafers made of different materials such as metals, ceramics, silicon and glass. 

To achieve an even higher degree ofnumberingup, a modular microbubble column reactor was developed that contains a stack of microstructured plates. The construction encompasses five different assembly groups, a cylindrical inner housing, which...
