| This CD provides information for engineers, installers and project managers on the design and installation of copper solar thermal systems for domestic hot water and space heating. It covers components, installation, applications, design, operation and maintenance. Information is presented in PowerPoint format.. | FREE |
| CD9 - Power Quality and Utilisation Guide |
|
| The Power
Quality and Utilisation Guide(formerly the Power Quality Application Guide) is a unique 8
section reference source providing not only background theory, but also the whole range of
solutions from industry. The Guide now has an extended scope to include DG, RES and
Rational Use of Energy. Since it will be published in parts, it will be constantly updated to reflect current thinking and leading edge solutions in this fast moving field. Authors include Power Quality Partnership members and other technical specialists in their field. Click on the link to view a contents list of sections available to date. All sections can be downloaded from this site, either individually or as a zip file. |

D2 Copper-Nickels & Aluminium Bronzes | This disk contains two completely separate databases describing these two groups of materials that each have significant engineering applications because of their strength combined with excellent corrosion resistance. Each database has a significant textural content describing the key attributes of the alloys and the ways in which they can be selected for use. Compositions and mechanical properties are fully tabulated for each material. The effect of time or temperature on many properties can be viewed either in tables or as graphs. Information is derived from publications Nos.30, 31, 80, 82 and 85. 1991. | Download |
|
D3 Copper Alloy Castings. Design & Applications | This disk contains information about all the major casting processes and describes the parameters that help selection of a process suitable for a given application. It also contains the compositions and properties of all the coppers and copper alloys commonly cast in Europe that will be included in the CEN standards that will replace the existing BS1400. Information can be sourced through: applications of coppers and copper alloys; selection of casting process; alloy selection; designing for casting. 1992. | Download |
|
D4 Designing for Production | This disk includes much information not easily available elsewhere that will enable designers to select the process by which components can be made. It covers all the common hot and cold fabrication processes and casting techniques., describing the basic advantages and disadvantages of each. The main menu offers three options: selecting a method; description of techniques; examples of how things are made. Each section is self contained but cross-referenced to give the easiest access to the most useful information. 1993. | Download |
|
D5 Energy Efficient Motors | This disk describes the benefits that can be obtained by using high efficiency electric motors. The difference between these and standard motors are explained and calculations can be made showing the overall savings in cost which can be achieved and the pay-back period for the investment. 1993. | Download |
|
D7 The Brasses: Properties and Availability | This disk lists all the brasses and nickel silvers commonly available in Europe together with their composition and properties. Near equivalents are indicated and the differences are highlighted. Besides the properties normally specified, the disk includes data on log-term properties above and below ambient temperature and in fatigue conditions. 1994. | Download |
|
D9 Component Costing Comparator | This interactive program enables engineers and designers to quickly estimate the cost of machined components in brass and other materials and to calculate the savings to be made by machining in brass. Comprehensive information on high-speed machining brass and most other copper alloys (composition, mechanical properties, applications, etc) is included, as is data on cutting fluids, cutting tool materials and machining speeds and feedsfor common machining operations and metals. 1998. | Download |
|
D10 Economic Sizing of Power Cables | This program calculates cable size taking account of type of cable, installation method, circuit length, overload protection, ambient temperature and circuit grouping. Results are presented for the minimum size (ie. BS 7671) and for each incremental size up to the most economic size (ie. IEC 1059). For each size, the overall lifetime cost and the payback period are calculated. The economic calculations take account of load growth, discount rate and increases in energy costs. Cable and installation costs can be modified by the user to suit local conditions. 1998. | Download |
|
D11 Busbar Design Guide | This program, based on the formulae found in CDA publication 22, calculates the current rating, size and working temperatures of common configurations of copper busbars. The minimum size and the savings and payback periods that accrue from the use of larger sizes, up to the most economic, are calculated. The economic calculations take account of copper price, fabrication cost, load growth, discount rate and increases in energy costs. 1998. | Download |
| . |
D12 K-Factor Calculation Software | This software calculates the K-Factor of a load from the harmonic content accordingto US and European practice. The results can be used to select transformers or to determine suitable de-rating factors for transformers. The software requires Windows 95 or higher or NT version 4.0 or higher. | Download |
