Ceiling Fans Save Energy and Dollars All Year Long

As gas and energy prices are rising again, that means Americans must tighten up their belts even further. In the winter you don't need to dread the drop in the temps, ceilings fans can help you adjust your thermostats to save you dollars. You don't need to dread hot summer temps and high air conditioning bills either when you have ceiling fans, your AC's best friend!

If you already have ceiling fans in place, check to see whether they are Energy Star qualified. Ceiling fan/light combinations that have earned Energy Star accreditation are about 50 percent more efficient than non-conforming units. The difference lies in improved motors and blade designs. A model with an Energy Star light kit included provides even greater energy savings, and the bulbs don't need to be changed as often.

Consumer demand for more energy-efficient ceiling fans and lighting products has driven the ceiling fan industry to integrate new ceiling fan lighting, ceiling fan blade and ceiling fan motor technologies that save operating costs. New products integrating the latest technologies are up to 75 percent more efficient than previous ceiling fan models.

Put your ceiling fans on when you are in the room during the day and when sleeping and turn your ceiling fans off when you leave. Ceiling fans cool people, not air. Using ceiling fans wisely while turning down the AC can save a lot of money visa a versa in the winter for your heater. Ceiling fans do such an efficient job of circulating air, they probably should be everywhere in your home. Any type of room can benefit, bedrooms, family rooms, and exterior living spaces are the most common applications, but we are seeing them used more in larger bathrooms, walk-in closets, home offices and garages.

Size Matters, consumers are installing ceiling fans throughout their homes, for example, fans with blade spans of 54, 60, and 72 inches are increasingly popular for living rooms and great rooms, while those with 24-inch spans are being installed in hallways and walk-in closets. How do you estimate the best size of ceiling fans for your needs? A good rule of thumb is a 36- to 52-inch diameter blade sweep for rooms measuring 200 square feet or less, are recommended by the ceiling fan experts, For rooms 200 to 400 square feet, we recommend ceiling fans have a diameter of 52 inches or greater; if the space is more than 400 square feet, two or more ceiling fans will be needed.

The number of blades makes some but little difference in airflow, however, whether to choose a four-, five-, or six-blade version is really a matter of aesthetics. You hear a lot about ceiling fans blade pitch, diameter and motor size. These are factors that will affect airflow, the greater the pitch of the blades on your ceiling fans the greater the airflow.

It's important not to underestimate your ceiling fans. The most common size of ceiling fans sold in the U.S. is a 52-inch diameter. This size ceiling fans provides excellent results in rooms up to 150 square feet, but can also be appropriate for smaller rooms since the 52" size ceiling fans can be adjusted with multiple speeds and the direction of the blades can be reversed, unlike some of the other smaller blade span ceiling fans. "It's better to choose a slightly larger fan for a room than to choose a diameter that might prove to be too small to adequately provide air movement.

Many ceiling fans now come with integrated lighting or light kits, these all in one ceiling fans, offer a coordinating light kit available as an option. These lights do not offer enough illumination on their own, but they are useful in a room that already has some form of ambient lighting. Ceiling fans with lights should be considered as accent and mood lighting.

Should a Ceiling Fan Blend In or Stand Out?

The next step to consider is whether you'd like your ceiling fans to serve as a focal point or be more understated. The question is should your ceiling fans blend in or stand out? Is the room contemporary, traditional, tropical or transitional? Ceiling fans can serve as a design feature. The primary trend in ceiling fan design has been for styles that create aesthetic statements as bold as a chandelier. This follows the overall trend in residential design for more varied and more sophisticated concepts. Today a consumer can find a ceiling fan that matches any interior design.

In the summer, ceiling fans offer a comfortable alternative and accompaniment to air conditioning, but in the winter employing the reversible blade option provides a means of circulating the hotter air that rises to the ceiling. This helps save on heating bills when the weather gets cold. Ceiling fans do help in the winter months too.

The Exciting Thing About The Comet Goldfish

The Comet goldfish is ideal for novice goldfish keepers since it is tough and adaptable and do not require a lot of pampering to do well. It can be kept in outdoor ponds as well as in big cold water aquariums. They can grow quite big as an adult and a length of 14 inches is not uncommon.

There exists several different variants of the Comet goldfish, but they all have long and slender bodies and a big and elongated single tail fin. The large tail fin gives the Comet goldfish a very stylish streamlined body shape. The name Comet is probably derived from how they resemble comets in the sky with long and flowing tails. You can find multicoloured variants as well as specimens with single coloured bodies. One example of a popular Comet goldfish variant is the beautiful Sarasa Comet goldfish. This fish will typically display a multicoloured body and look a bit similar to a Koi fish.

The home of a Comet goldfish should contain densely planted regions as well as big open areas where it can swim around without being entangled in aquatic plants. If you keep your Comet goldfish in an aquarium, you can for instance use Anubias, Crinum, Elodea (Egeria) and Java moss. Keep in mind that many popular aquarium plant species can not tolerate the low temperatures in a goldfish aquarium. In an outdoor pond, you must select aquatic plant species suitable for your particular part of the world and it is therefore difficult to provide any general recommendations.

Getting a Comet goldfish to eat is not difficult and they will accept a wide range of different food types, including flakes and pellets. A varied diet is recommended to make sure that your Comet goldfish receives all necessary nutrients. Vegetables should always be included in the diet and you can for instance feed it lettuce, zucchini and peas. The amount of food must be adjusted according to season, since the metabolism of the Comet goldfish is affected by the water temperature. Feeding your Comet goldfish the same amount of food year round in an outdoor pond that is affected by seasonal temperature variations can result in obesity or starvation.

Comet goldfish are not only bred in outdoor ponds; they frequently reproduce in large aquariums as well. They are naturally inclined to spawn in spring when the water gradually becomes warmer and warmer after the winter. If you do not live in a region where this happens, or if you keep your Comet goldfish indoors, you must usually simulate a winter season and a subsequent spring to coax your fish into spawning. Decrease the water temperature for at least 30 days before you gradually allow it to become warmer and warmer. Professional breeders will often separate the fry from the adult fish to ensure a high fry survival rate. If you keep your fish in a well planted pond or aquarium where the bottom is covered with large grains, at least a portion of the fry will however survive even when kept with adult fish.

Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid - How to Deal with It

Piles is a distressing condition that has effects on millions worldwide since the dawning of man. Yet even today in the modern world, with our miracles of drugs, numerous folks still suffer this excruciating affliction. A quick search on the internet will reveal dozens of hemorrhoids home remedies and other treatment for piles yet most people fail to get a permanent hemorrhoids cure.

Visit Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid if you want to know more about hemorrhoids

What is most critical first is to understand if what you have is truly piles or some other medical condition before you make a decision on the plan to take.

The term haemorrhoids ( also called hemroids or piles ) pertains to a condition where the rectal veins have distended, principally due to over the top strain and pressure. This is the tissue surrounding the vein to enlarge and stick out, hanging like a sac.

Hemorrhoids can exist internally ( internal haemorrhoids ) where the tissue hangs from the inner walls of the annal hole and in more intense cases even protrude out of the anus ( a condition known as prolapsed haemorrhoids ), or externally (external hemorrhoids) around the anus opening itself.

The main indication of internal piles is bleeding. This happens because of the passing of hard stool that scrapes against the swollen tissue making it to rupture. Most people either see indications of blood on their stool or on the tissue paper that they use to wipe themselves.

The bulge on the inner annal walls also cause people to feel the necessity to pass motion even if there's no genuine need to. This uncomfortable feeling gets worse as the tissue swells even larger.

External hemorrhoids are better to identify that internal hemorrhoids as the bulge can be obviously seen round the anus. Left abandoned, the blood in the external piles will clot and harden (a condition known as thrombosed external piles ). When this happens, the pain can be excruciating, making it just about impossible to sit comfortably.

Both internal and external haemorrhoids have a propensity to itch as the enlarge tissue secretes mucus causing irritation to the area around it. It is vital not to itch regardless of how you want to as this may cause the hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed.

External hemorrhoids tend to be more agonizing than internal piles particularly as it is more certain to get irritated and scraped against round undergarments and due to scratching and mishandling. However, as the internal piles grow bigger, the agony can get highly excruciating particularly when passing motion and when contracting the anal muscles. When the piles prolapses, it complicates the condition even more and cause further pain but in most cases, this could be simply solved by softly pushing the prolapsed piles back into the anus.

It is never critical to have a surgical procedure done as treatment for haemorrhoids. Often , all that must be done is proper home care and good hemorrhoids home remedies. A good topical treatment such the Venapro Haemorrhoids Solution helps speed up the healing and supply and provide you instant relief. Haemorrhoids is never potentially fatal and you must only consider surgery if you have attempted all of the non-surgical options.

A word of caution though . Colonic bleeding, agony and sudden changes to your bowel habits are also signs of colon, rectal or anal cancer. If you are over 50 years old and have a family history of any of these cancers, it is best to get a check up done with a physician.

Cleaner Clean

Parts Cleaner: Cleaning Complex Geometric Parts In Single Piece Flow

A program engineer is presented with a challenge. A new part is manufactured containing different types and grades of steel, brass and other material. The part is designed with one deep hole, several threaded small holes, and a series of threaded shallow blind holes. In addition, the part must meet an objective cleanliness level dictated by the customer.

This cleanliness level has multiple requirements. The part must be 98% oil free upon completion, as measured by a Phase Imaging system. A Millipore gravimetric method will weigh the part also, and the filtered contaminant weight of the part must not exceed .5mg per part. Also, the part can contain no particles over 20 microns in size.

To conclude the challenge, the manufacturer must produce 2,800 parts per 8-hour shift. Meeting the cleanliness requirement, while maintaining this rate of production, will be a difficult task.

Faced with this challenge, many program managers assume an ultrasonic cleaning system will be the best method for cleaning the part. This method creates intense, high frequency vibrations that are used to attack the part and clean it.

However, an ultrasonic method may not the best choice for this situation. Ultrasonic cleaning requires exacting conditions in order to be successful. There must be enough energy created to clean the entire surface and no surface can be shielded by other parts or material. In addition, there must be sufficient time for the ultrasonic method to work. If these conditions are not met, the process becomes less effective.

Energy
The Industry standard for determining the amount of energy necessary is cited in the Cleaning Technology Handbook, published by Parts Cleaning Magazine in December 1998. The handbook states that:

"The sum of the part's cross-sectional areas should not be greater than 70% of the ultrasonic tank's cross-sectional area. In addition, the workload mass to volume ratio should be no greater than 30% in parts cleaning and no greater than 15% in precision cleaning applications."

Production Rate
If the ultrasonic method is used, it will present problems in meeting the production rate requirements. In order to meet the rate and use the ultrasonic process, a large number of parts will have to be loaded together, cleaned together, and transferred to the next stage together. When using this method with an ultrasonic cleaner, problems can arise.

The transfer baskets used for the parts can waste the ultrasonic energy. All exposed surfaces will be cleaned by the ultrasonic cleaner, including the exposed portions of the transfer basket. This wastes energy the cleaner needs to reach the parts. The larger the basket, the more energy wasted. Parts stacked on each other or blocked by the basket will not be cleaned, as they are not exposed.

The parts may be re-contaminated when removed from the parts cleaner as well. As cleaning takes place, the oil released from the parts will be sent into the tank. The oils with a lighter gravity than water will rise to the surface. When the process is complete, the basket will rise up out of the water. Obviously, it will pass through this layer of oil, which leads to the chance that parts will pick up some oil during the move.

Finally, research cited by the Dec. 1998 Parts Cleaning Magazine shows that particles less than 25 microns in size are not effectively eliminated by ultrasonic cleaning, which is unacceptable given the requirements of our project.

Alternative Method
An indexing conveyor is an effective alternative to ultrasonic cleaning for the case presented. The conveyor consists of the following steps:

1. Part is manually or robotically loaded onto a specifically designed nest or fixture to be held in place for transfer from stage to stage.

2. The oriented part indexes to the point where a pneumatically activated manifold with a rubber gasket is energized, and moved down onto the fixture swallowing up the part.

3. Heated, chemically blended solution floods the part by being pumped through the manifold. This solution drains out the bottom of the fixture.

4. The gasketed manifold is then lifted while solution continues to spray over the part. Sheer force of fluid combines with temperature and the chemical to flush oil and particulate from all crevices, holes, threads and surfaces.

5. Part is indexed to next fluid stage for corrosion protection if necessary.

6. Part is then indexed to the next stage where the part is vacuum dried. Here the part is engulfed with a rubber gasketed manifold that creates a vacuum that allows the mechanism to lower the boiling point of water so that all liquid is evaporated before the manifold is released.

7. Part is then indexed to the unload stage where the robot or operator is able to remove a clean, dry part that is neither too hot or too cold.

The sequence of operations can be timed to meet the necessary production requirements. This system also offers greater flexibility than the ultrasonic method. Pumps, vacuum dryer, manifolds and pneumatic activators all can be sized to achieve the necessary action to adequately flush the part and evaporate the moisture. Devices such as washer fluid management, filtration, and in-process treatment options can all be added to the system as required.

This system can effectively meet all production and cleanliness requirements presented in the challenge, making it a more attractive option than the ultrasonic method.
