Case Study: Piezo Fans Trump Traditional Fan Challenges in the Oil and Gas Industry: bit.ly/3NrXrTs

Background:
During the development of the piezoelectric fan our customer required us to run some highly accelerated life testing (HALT) on a statistically significant number of samples. The test included thermally cycling the fans 1000 times from -40 to 125C while they were operating. The test took about 5 weeks to complete. There were no failures.

We also ran the fans through high temperature operating life at 180C (HTOL), low temperature operating life at -70C (LTOL), Over voltage test at 100% over the normal operating voltage, Humidity HALT testing, Cold start testing which included a hard start up after the fans soaked at -40C for 14 hours, high temperature storage tests where the fans were soaked at 140C for 1000 hours prior to successful operation, dust ingress testing, salt spray and fog testing and IP68 testing where we submerged the fans for 72 hours at the equivalent of 3 meter depth pressure and then operated them after they were removed and dried off. There were never any failures during any of these tests.

Lastly, I sit about 6 feet from a fan we have been running since June of 2016, If I really try to listen hard I can hear it running, but otherwise I don't notice it. Running at 60 Hz we have put just over 11 billion cycles on the fan without failure or change in performance.

Bulkhead Shaft Seals | HydroActive Technology

Mide Technology 2022-07-28 | Bulkhead Shaft Seals are a critical piece of the propulsion safety equipment that stops cross compartment flooding following a compromising event keeping the ship and crew safe while continuo operation.

Mide’s innovative line of non-contacting HydroActive™ bulkhead shaft seals provides an extremely reliable and low total ownership cost sealing solution. Developed for the US Navy, the patented design utilizes hydrogel embedded foam to engage and seal against the spinning shaft only when water is present. By not touching the shaft during normal operation the seal can withstand any shaft speed and substantial shaft motion without any wear - reducing maintenance costs significantly.

Reliant YM
The Reliant YM is a flagship seal design in which total system weight is reduced and maintenance is simplified through use of Midé HydroActive technology. Instead of a traditional housing, the Reliant YM series uses flat interface plates secured to the bulkhead, on which the seal floats, to allow for radial motions of the shaft. Reliant YM seals are installed and operating on many vessels.

Reliant HD
The Reliant HD series of bulkhead seals are used where large shaft motions, in excess if three (3) inches, are required. This configuration uses a large machined housing and cartridge style arrangement; while maintaining the benefits of HydroActive technology which allows the Reliant HD series seals to be deployed in the most challenging conditions.

OMNI
Omni seals bulkhead shaft seals are designed for vessels that don’t have the large shaft radial deflections typically required for naval ships. With fewer components, the non-floating Omni seals are significantly less expensive and easier to install and maintain.

Stern Tube Seal | 100% Water Lubricated

Mide Technology 2022-07-28 | Mide-Hutchinson’s line of Stern Tube Seals offer environmentally friendly, water lubricated sealing systems that combine engineering innovations and advanced materials aimed at reducing ownership costs by allowing vessels to operate for longer intervals between maintenance.

Many high-performance mechanical face seals use silicon carbide (SiC) or other hard face seal materials which are difficult to work with and brittle. Midé’s seals use innovative durable materials with ultra-low friction leading to superior wear properties, long life and thus reduced total ownership cost (TOC), even in the harshest environments. Blue water or brown water, Midé’s shaft seals will outperform and extend service life.

Midé's Stern Tube Seals can also incorporate its HyroActive technology as a backup seal that automatically engages in situations where the main seal may be compromised - allowing the ship to continue to operate and return to a location where repairs can be performed.

Engineers Analyze Running | Where the Data Meets the Road

Mide Technology 2022-06-30 | In this video, Steve and Rob analyze vibration data gathered by Rob in a recent charity road race hosted at the local Lord Hobo Brewery. The data is obtained by an enDAQ sensor mounted to Rob's center of mass.

Together, in Python, they go through the vibration data to analyze and calculate Rob's running pace over time and how much motion his body goes through with each step. They also use the pressure data to determine the elevation change of the run and then relate that back to his pace.

As you can see, Steve and Rob had a lot of fun analyzing this data together and they hope you enjoy learning how to apply some of these analysis methods to your data!
