Prefabricated Timber Frame Housing

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

Prefabricated timber frame housing in addition to compositional possibilities, represented by the unit-cell design and a variety of trim panels razrezok and exterior walls, allows free to change the location of balconies and loggias of remote adjustment and regrouping on the length of the building due to the rotation and placement of various facade of columns with balcony consoles. In addition, the composition frame buildings, the introduction of open spaces in the bottom level of the building with the production of its reliance on open, and at various elevations in height, which makes the construction of tectonic expression. Body-block building construction promotes the diversity of the building due to different variations of the mutual disposition of the bulk units or burying them konsolirovaniya relatively facade plane device terraces, ledges. The accommodation blocks across the building is not on target, but with a different shift or rotation about its longitudinal axis. Block-panel-Naja system allows a variety of forms of buildings and by features block-sectional method of design. Tectonic features of the system to identify the different trim bearing "pillars" of blocks and fill in between the panel, stressed the mutual offset regarding the facade plane. Buildings of various modifications of the receiver (single or multiple trunks) is inherent in the composition of the inclusion of open space, opening the trunk. Compositional and planning possible solutions and monolithic prefabricated monolithic buildings are closely related to the method of construction and the type of mechanized formwork. The erection of structures in the moving mold, suitable for use in high-rise buildings tower, offers a wider choice volumetric shape of the building, including broken or can use a curved surface of external walls, to arrange the various form of openings, their diverse group, using different sizes of floor heights and other vertical sections of the Deaf (often convex or concave) surfaces of concrete walls create monolithic tectonically active element in fasado composition of these buildings.

Pumps

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

Besides, most of these pumps for normal operation require their installation below the level of the supply pipe or tank of any technological equipment. Which complicates the installation of the latter. These deficiencies in to some extent deprived of centrifugal pumps, related to the type of blade. They are easy on your device and can be easily disassembled for washing and cleaning. Working bodies of them (blades or wheels) are directly connected to the shaft high-speed motors, which leads to their compactness, low weight and relatively small cost. Supply of centrifugal pumps is controlled by changing the resistance of devices through which pumped liquid, or throttling valves (faucets, valves). A centrifugal pump has a casing which is made in the form of a cylinder lid.

In the interior of the body cavity through a hole passes shaft, which planted the blade. Lid sealed by a rubber ring and the clamping screws. It is located along the axis of the shaft suction port. Tangential to the cylinder housing mounted discharge tube. When rotating shaft in the pump chamber fluid is discarded blade to the periphery of the chamber and the centrifugal force created pressure for the withdrawal of his discharge pipe and transportation by pipeline. In the central part of the chamber formed by a vacuum pump, and there comes a new portion of liquid.

Fluid flow is not interrupted. Return fluid from the cavity of the pumping cavity of the suction between the body and the blade is prevented by the minimum possible gap between them. The supplied from the electric motor to the impeller pump energy is expended on overcoming the hydraulic resistance within the pump and increase the flow of liquid. Normal centrifugal pump can not operate as a self-priming. This property it acquires as a result of air separator, nozzles and cranked up the suction pipe. Permissible deviation from the vertical suction port of the pump as a self-priming should not exceed 20 degrees. Running such a pump as follows. Impeller pump, filled up the upper level air intake of liquids (milk) forms in the chamber air-liquid mixture and pushes it through a nozzle into air purge. Liquid was freed in air purge of air is returned to the chamber. This process continues until until you create the necessary suction to lift the liquid through the suction pipe and filling the working chamber, after which the pump is operating as centrifugal. In the following restarting the process renewed through the remainder of his working chamber fluid.

Reinforced Concrete Products

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

Concrete products (JBI), through his own extraordinary strength, longevity and richness of the set, take up very special space among other advanced building materials. Reinforced concrete is a combination of Concrete and steel reinforcement, monolithic integrated and working together in the system. For the production of ferro-concrete products plant in Ufa – the concrete mix reinforced with iron rods connected to the frames. This synthesis of concrete and steel allows you to combine the best quality there is in these two materials that were used immediately to compensate for their shortcomings. The term 'concrete' is used quite often as the common name of the Reinforced Concrete systems and products.

Combination of reinforced concrete 2-very different qualities of their own materials based on the fact that the solidity of concrete in tension substantially (10-20 times) lower than in compression, so concrete system he designed for the perception of compressive forces, the same steel, which owns the highest passing resistance in tension and introduced into the concrete in the form of reinforcement, the main way used to perceptions of tensile forces. The interaction of different materials so very well: concrete hardening firmly adheres to the metal and solid piece of iron protects it from rust, monolithic concrete and reinforcement guaranteed more conventional narrow-mindedness of their coefficients of thermal expansion (for concrete from the 7, 5 * 10-6 * 10-6 to 12 for metal reinforcement 12 * 10-6); within the temperature changes from -40 to 60 C, the main physical mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcement actually does not change that allows the use of concrete in all climate zones. The extensive spread of concrete in modern construction is due to his great technical and financial supremacy in comparison with other materials. Built of reinforced fire-resistant and reliable, require no special protective measures against the depleting action of weather; solidity of concrete increases with time, and valves can not be rust, being located around its protected with concrete. Reinforced concrete has the highest load-bearing ability, excellent accepts static and dynamic (including seismic) overload. Of conventionally reinforced concrete buildings and build a just system of multiple forms of reaching the grand construction of expression. The main volume of reinforced concrete are everywhere where is possible only known materials – crushed stone, gravel and sand. Using precast concrete can substantially increase the degree of industrialization of construction, systems are made in advance on the well-equipped factories, and the operation areas Installation is only ready-made pieces of mechanized means.

Thus supported the highest rate of construction of houses and buildings, and even saving foreign exchange and labor costs. The main advantage of reinforced concrete products – this is greater solidity of the simplicity of making the system the desired configuration, shape, size. Spacious range of species (solid, prefabricated, box-solid, heavy, light, mesh, ordinary, pre-stressed, etc.) permit the use of concrete products for the manufacture of various building systems. It rings, plates (plates road, floor slabs, airport board), base blocks, piles, electric poles, and much, much more. One of the most popular products are now reinforced concrete slabs. They are used to build floors in large-panel buildings. Made from concrete slabs of any structure (both heavy and light) – all located in Depending on the overload, which is obliged to transfer the tile floor. Because they are used in the construction of a small conventional buildings and the construction of large-scale objects with a large carrier overload which is on the shoulder only real Titans. In fact, no housing to this day can not do without reinforced concrete products and, in particular, the floor slabs.

The Boiler

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

A brand new product for our market – this is the boiler running on wood pellets (pellets). Although information is available about these boilers is relatively long, we can say that in Russia they are almost not represented. The reason, perhaps, the relatively high price of the boiler or the absence of the fuel widely available. However, the Boilers have a number of of advantages over conventional boilers for solid fuels. First, they are environmentally friendly because the production of pellets do not use chemical additives. Second, the calorific value of pellets is higher than usual timber (capacity pellet boilers ATMOS up to 92%.).

Third, pellet boilers operate in a fully automated mode. Fourth, the pellets are easy to store (requires less space), and transport. They are less prone to spontaneous combustion, biologically inactive – do not contain dust and spores that can cause allergic reactions. Pellet boiler ATMOS is designed as follows. In the body of the boiler built a special burner, in which the bunker with the screw enter boot pellets. The bunker is located next to the boiler or in an adjacent room and can be any size. Upon receiving the command 'strata', ie if necessary, heat, turn the screw, which pours pellets into the burner nozzle.

Pellets ignited by a glowing coil and when they are sufficiently combustion, the burner automatically selects the set output of which is as long as all system is heated. Thereafter, the burner is turned off and the pellets remaining in the nozzle, burning down. The operation of the burner is made by electronic control. Loading of fuel, cleaning the burner and ash removal are carried out once 1 – 14 days, depending on the quality of pellets. Pellet boilers ATMOS designed so that, if necessary, you can remove the pellet burner and replace it with a lid and heat an ordinary timber. And finally, the boiler ATMOS, which currently has no analogues on Russian heating market – a combined model boiler ATMOS DC (L). The boiler can work with wood, pellet, gas and liquid fuel. And perhaps alternate fuels without conversion of the boiler, depending on whether the burner is installed on it, pellet, gas or fuel oil: wood and wood pellets, wood, natural gas, wood and liquid fuels. The boiler is designed as housing with three cameras, one above the other. In the two upper chambers are burning wood pyrolysis. In the third – the bottom, lined with ceramic burner fits the selected type. Both systems are separated from each other by a water jacket and so have almost no influence on each other, so boiler achieves high (92%) efficiency of the combustion of certain fuels. At the moment the boilers ATMOS DC (L) is available in four sizes in Depending on the power – 15 to 35 kW. To protect from overheating all ATMOS boilers are available with cooling circuit.

Housing Construction

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

For integrated development of land for housing construction (apparently, when there is no plot and advanced engineering training infrastructure available in the cases stipulated in Article 38.1) auctions are regulated by Article 38.2 of the LC RF. In the cases provided for in Article 38.1 of the RF LC, the seller determines the initial price of the auction, as which is chosen: the sale of ownership of the land – the initial price of the land, and the sale of the right to conclude a contract to lease – initial size of the rent. The auction organizer shall keep the minutes auction in which the last sentence of fixed costs from owning land or on the amount of rent. In auctions, regulated by Article 38.2, the seller (the organizer of the auction) provides: the initial price of the land or the initial price of the right to conclude a lease of land – along with the size of the rent for the land for the duration of the lease. The winner of the auction acknowledged his party, who offered the highest bid for the right to conclude lease contract for its integrated development – at a given rental rate for the entire period of the lease. So , the measure of the value of the right to conclude a lease contract is a cash amount equal to: Article 38.1, the size of the rent, and Article 38.2 – the price of the right to conclude a lease – at a specified rate rent for the duration of the lease.

Emery Lanterns

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

Then the cylinders sawed along. The result was half-cylinder, then it makes an incision at an angle of 30 degrees. Then heated to soften the edge and bends it turns out – a little boat. Edge of the boat saw off and trimmed to Emery for the subsequent gluing seams. Shells were ready, could only drill a hole diodes and mounts. Try on the diodes in the body, wash them under the label of the reflector. The reflector is made of thick foil and gluing the glue "Moment." After the glue has dried carefully cut off the excess foil to extend beyond the body.

Drill hole through the foil. Shells were ready. Reached the stage of electronic parts, a handful of resistors, LEDs was ready. Empirically proved that the light output from the diode, for our purposes is not appropriate, he shined directional beam of light. In one article read that you can solve this problem, gash butt led with subsequent polishing.

The effect of changing the shape was amazing – it became diffused glow and smooth. A very important point to finish, I have achieved transparency, good rubbing diode on wool carpet. Once the LEDs have been prepared, tried to solder everything on the circuit and see what happens. It is important to observe the polarity of the LEDs. Two LEDs give a good glow. Next was a tedious job – soldering. Resistors and diodes for soldering stick to plastic housing, so that subsequent sizing is not required, but for the leak on top of the glue stuck tape. Checking all the lanterns on the performance, proceeded to the foldout protective glass, took stock of the size that it went down with an allowance. Slit missed abundantly clear silicone, but before that they needed to clean up and grease. Fasteners made simple – strips of galvanized steel bolted screws. The next step was to install. In my glance, the whole point was that the buildings were not visible, and the glow appeared as though nowhere. This was the main rule, so that particularly curious will have to lean heavily to see that there is light. When positioning lanterns should take into consideration the fact that they be no further damage and tear at all. That's probably the main criteria for the installation. I put on the vaz – 2109. For bulky bumpers and plastic threshold 'Zatar " lanterns have been easy, but because the bottom is not uniform, so that the proper installation, as the saying goes: 'a technical matter. " Connect all the lanterns overall circuit through the fuse and switch on the panel.

Water Gas Pipes

Comments Off, General, by Becky.

Standard features of the six removable pads designed for flexible water-gas pipes according to GOST 3262-75, diameter of 1 / 2''to 2''and tolschinoystenki from 2 mm to 4.5 mm. Pipe-bending machine provides high-quality pieces at a given bend angle of 180 with minimum change without formation of a ripple, fractures and other defects. Allows you to produce complex product of the pipes with the repeated change in the orientation of planes of bending in the space, given the peculiarities of the relief structures (for a circuit of columns, piers and other obstacles). The mechanism is simple to operate. Works in manual and semi-automatic modes. On special order the machine is equipped with snap-bending of long products (see table number 3): – Rolled GOST 1414-75, (d 16 to 50 mm, steel grade, any of the CT-3 to CT-45) – Square bars GOST 1133-71, (size 16 to 40 mm, steel grade, any of the CT-3 to CT-45) – rectangular steel bars and GOST 4405-75 (size from 10 to 40 mm, steel grade, any of the CT-3 to CT-45).

What else should I look for when choosing a model bending tool? Here is an example: if you use hand tube bender, no doubt, it is convenient in terms of transportation, because it does not weigh too much. The advantages of electric drive bending tool also evident: in this case, you get the opportunity to pursue a flexible pipes of large diameter, among other things, these models are characterized by more benders and high performance. If you face the task of working in small industrial shops, and you need to handle and brass thin-walled tube – manual bender is exactly what you need. If you have to install, or install all sorts of different communications networks – gas, water, heating, etc., be sure to use your mobile hand-bender because it is such a model will make it possible to bend the pipe in the place of their installation. A few words about the electric drive bending tool: the main field of application is bending large diameter pipe.

The advantages of these models should be attributed, and certainly sufficient performance. With these you can get benders bending workpieces up to 180 , and will not be show no defects in the pipe, such as crimp or kink. It should be noted that users prefer electro-bending tool to the CNC, which are characterized by the possibility of programming several coordinates. Particular attention must be paid in this case, the rotation bending head (carriage), the rotation plane of bending, as well as regulation of feeding tubes. The advantages of electro-benders with CNC is necessary to refer first of all: a high accuracy (up to 0.1 mm, 0,1 ), the lack of same – a high price and long payback period of the equipment. Summing up the usual tube bender can greatly simplify and extend the life of the most unexpected areas. Thus, the bending can be successfully applied not only in laying water pipes, but also for the production of outdoor advertising, registration of cars, different socio necessary equipment (Rehabilitation beds, exercise equipment, swings, fences, etc.). Almost every frame construction will make a bender – it is just designed to perform such work. And of course do not replace a tube bender housing and communal services – from maintenance to buildings and facilities and playgrounds pridvorovyh territories.
