Energy Conservation

AIR-SEALING CAN LIGHTS SAFELY

Larry Armanda, a Therma-View Infrared & Energy Consultant with over 35 years of experience in the building industry wrote an interesting piece in the January issue of Fine Homebuilding about safely enclosing recessed lights.

Over the years, Larry read a lot of articles in magazines, telling people to use foam board products to dam recessed can lights and got so concerned about this unsafe methodology that he started his own research, to explain to people the dangers of this practice. 
The beginnings of his researches date back to 2001 and are probably some of the most in-depth studies done in this field, as they go beyond just the different methodologies people use and also include the type of wiring feeding the fixture which no one is addressing.
There have been some reported cases of fires by contractors using rigid board boxes to cover recessed can lights and the weatherization programs from utilities still allow it.

Using foam insulation is a common way to stop airflow through recessed can lights, which are notorious energy wasters. Unfortunately, the temperatures inside a foam enclosure can get hot enough to melt the foam or the wiring inside the enclosure, creating a fire risk. In his article, veteran electrician and building-science expert Larry Armanda points out the potential dangers and shows how to seal up can lights safely and effectively. To determine just how hot it can get inside a can light enclosure, Larry constructed a purpose-built test rig and monitored the temperature inside with a four-channel data logger. Then using his temperature data, he designed a safer enclosure with modern wiring, a heat-resistant enclosure, and a long-lasting LED light bulb. Two detailed illustrations that complement the article show both a conventional can-light enclosure and Larry's safer enclosure, the TENMAT Recessed Light Cover.

In his studies Larry concludes that TENMAT Recessed Light Covers are the safest solution, as they provide sufficient space for the light and a fire safe barrier to flammable insulation. He points out that the covers are made out of fire safe mineral wool and will not melt like polystyrene or plastic.

Bearings & Wear Parts

TENMAT = MONEY SAVER
Time is Money, especially when it comes to time spent on a repair dock. Regardless if it is a tanker, container ship, cruise ship or other vessel, time spent not on sea means a substantial loss for any ship owner or operator.
TENMAT understands the urgency of the situation and responds quickly to any inquiries and delivers spare parts, such as stern tube, propeller shaft, rudder bearings, and other vital parts to shipyards worldwide in no time.
In the specific case of a luxury yacht undergoing urgent repair, each week on the dry dock meant a loss of revenue of over $200,000 in addition to the costs of the repair.

The 150’ motor yacht needed replacement of several parts and the decision was made to also replace the rudder bearings with TENMAT RAILKO NF22 material. RAILKO NF22 offers low wear and friction rates and is approved by over 30 Navies worldwide.
When TENMAT got the call, we were able to supply the two NF22 rudder bearings fast and get the ship back in the water with minimum downtime.
