Rotron has introduced a tubeaxial cooling and
ventilation fan with the highest performance in the industry
for its package size, the company reports.The MIL-XTM Extreme
Performance Series fans deliver best-in-class 300 cfm at 1 m 5
iwg (inches of water gauge).This is a 24% increase in airflow over
previous models with the same package configuration.
With significant advances in aerodynamics, motor and dc drive,
the new fan maintains ruggedness and reliability suitable for mis-
sion- and personnel-critical duty. For example, it can be used to
cool electronic countermeasures mounted on armored vehicles
to prevent detonation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Additional applications include commercial aircraft electronics,
telecommunications, heat exchangers and crew ventilation.
Operating at 7500 RPM, the MIL-XTM delivers
up to 42% efficiency, a significant increase over a
typical tubeaxial fan efficiency of
27%.
Standard features in-
clude shock-proof con-
struction (meeting Mil-
S-901), immersion and
wash-down capabil-
ity, over voltage and
reverse polarity pro-
tection and locked
rotor shutdown with
automatic restart.

andTurbine Services (TSL) have entered into a supply agree-
ment according to which the Metso DNA Turbine Automation
system can be used on all future projects where TSL supplies turbine
components and other materials.
“This service partnership is significant for the owners and operators
of industrial gas turbines, as it will provide the most up-to-date turbine
control solution available that can be combined with any manufactur-
ers’ turbine technical know-how, support and services,” says Juha-Pekka
Jalkanen, director of plant performance solutions (automation) Metso.
Turbine Services, based in Glasgow, Scotland, is a global maintenance
services provider for original equipment manufacturers’ industrial gas
turbines. “Our strong capabilities complement Metso’s control applica-
tion expertise, forming a unique service solution for industrial gas turbine
owners and operators,” says GrahamTaylor, general manager, turbine
services. “Metso’s wide global sales network complements our global
presence - and will benefit customers worldwide.”
Metso offers a total concept for steam, gas and hydro turbine control-
lers, including machine monitoring, information management and the
possibility to integrate them into a plant-wide distributed control system.
Having engineering tools in the control system creates a deeper view
into the process.
Its concept includes many powerful benefits, one of which is the pos-
sibility to perform an online IO exchange on a running control system
and machine without jeopardising the operation of the unit.
This saves on downtime costs and lost production while boosting
revenues. Other advantages include remote access by Metso specialists
for online analysis and support. Metso supports its control systems for at
least 25 years and provides themwith new software that communicates
with the existing system without any need to redesign or re-engineer.
