CHLORINE GAS DETECTION ALARM SYSTEM WORKS AS DESIGNED

In 2015 Pfannenberg provided signaling notification appliances (alarm horns and strobes) to the North Tonawanda Wastewater Treatment Facility as part of their new Gas Detection Alarm System. On the evening of Tuesday, September 13, 2016 there was a very small chlorine gas leak. Pfannenberg's PATROL Signaling Alarms were triggered through the system notifying plant personnel and surrounding area. The alarms could heard up to a mile away from the facility.

As companies move forward implementing Industry 4.0 infrastructures and strategies, the need for connected equipment grows. Companies will require the ability for systems to support remote monitoring, firmware updates and preventative maintenance diagnostics. Working with Cybus (Hamburg, Germany) we will be able to meet the IoT needs of our customers.

We are aware of the durability and versatility of our products, which are used all over the world and would like to pass these higher quality standards on to our customers in the form of a 10-year warranty," says Volker Matthies, Global Product Manager Signaling Technology at Pfannenberg. 

The 10-year wasounders (audible alarms) from the PATROL and PYRA series which have been certified since the beginning of 2013 according to the latest EU regulations EN 54-3 and/or EN 54-23. Also included are the impact resistant Quadro series flashing and LED lights for harsh environments and the DS sounders with an especially high-level IP protection. Each signaling device has the respective international approvals.

Pfannenberg would like to wish one of our blue line employees a happy "2nd" retirement. Vern Agee retired several years ago from GM after working there 30 years. Looking to keep busy after retirement from GM, Vern came to work for Pfannenberg on our blue line doing assembly work for our cooling products. We asked Vern about how he's going to spend his retirement and he said he's looking forward to spending time with his family, going to the Gym, driving his Camaro and traveling.

Our production line is going to really miss him. Each day we would hear the familiar "Vern to the office" paged over the intercom and a resounding "VERN" cheered out by all of the production workers (like Norm on the classic sitcom "Cheers"). Good luck and thank you for your work here at Pfannenberg.

Electronics Cooling with an Air to Water Heat Exchanger

Water is the most efficient form of heat removal. Using an air to water heat exchanger allows you to safely cool your electronics using water, while also keeping external contaminants from entering your enclosure. Air to water heat exchangers also offer the advantage of being low maintenance while using significantly less energy than traditional methods.
