Conax is pleased to attend the 2018 Electrify Europe Conference in Vienna, Austria with thousands of innovators and thought leaders.

Eliminating premature sensor failures

Among the latest power industry technologies and solutions, we’ll be exhibiting our patented Spring Loaded Exhaust Gas Sensor. Standard exhaust gas sensors in 7F and 9F gas turbines are at risk for premature failure. As temperatures rise, the radiation shield and sensor sheath expand at different rates, forming a gap between the seat and the radiation shield and the stop on the sensor. The sensor vibrates and the tip eventually breaks, causing the sensor to fail and the gas turbine to trip.

Conax created the Spring Loaded Exhaust Gas Sensor, featuring a high-temperature compression spring that is inserted between two spacer tubes. The spring minimizes vibration, which means the sensor is less likely to fail and break. This solution has proven to increase sensor life and provide thousands of hours of operation without failures, preventing downtime and saving money. Click here to view a video demo.

If you’re at the show, stop by Booth A-L67 and see us!

This year’s Frame 6 Users Conference takes us to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida June 12.

At the show, we’ll be demonstrating our kit that replaces exhaust gas thermocouple sensors in older GE frame turbines. This kit lets operators replace sensors without having to replace the entire thermocouple. The solution provides a longer lasting sensor—meaning less maintenance time.

Cable assemblies are custom manufactured to the desired length and remain fixed in the turbine hot box, only the sensor needs to be removed. Cable assemblies are made from 18 AWG stranded conductors with PFA insulation and are jacketed with stainless steel over braid.

Conax is a trusted partner in the aerospace industry

We’ve been proudly providing high-performance, high-quality temperature sensors to our partners in the aerospace industry for over 55 years. Our explosive activated valves went along for the ride during the first space launch of Project Mercury in 1962. Conax parts were also used in the US Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon. Today, Conax thermocouples and harness assemblies can be found in several large-scale aerospace projects. Watch the video to see where we’ve been, and where Conax can take you.

Global Demand for Semiconductors is Growing

Semiconductors are in electronic devices we use every day, from cell phones to computers, and the global demand for semiconductors has never been higher. Last year’s semiconductor sales increased by 21.6% compared with 2016. Sales topped $400 billion in 2017, a first for the industry.

Most notably, the memory sector saw the largest increase in sales in 2017. It’s also the fastest growing—sales increased 61.5% for the year.

Globally, semiconductor sales saw an increase:

• Americas – 35%
• China – 22.2%
• Europe – 17.1%
• Asia Pacific/Other – 16.4%
• Japan – 13.3%

The GE Frame 7F Users Group Conference takes place May 7-11

This year’s conference takes us to Atlanta, GA where professionals will share innovations and new ideas for the power generation industry.

Exhibiting our patented spring loaded exhaust gas sensor

Our spring loaded exhaust gas sensor is designed to prolong standard gas sensor life in 7F and 9F gas turbines.

As temperatures rise, the radiation shield and sensor sheath expand at different rates, forming a gap between the seat in the radiation shield and the stop on the sensor.
