Introduction of IoT

What is IoT?

The internet of things, or IoT is embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity, and other forms of hardware (such as sensors), these devices can communicate and interact with others over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. IoT system is interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT is about extending the power of the internet beyond computers and smartphones to a whole range of other things, processes and environments to gather information, send information back, or both.

---

How IoT works?

1) Sensors/Devices

First, sensors or devices help in collecting data from the surrounding environment. All of this collected data can have various degrees of complexities ranging from a simple temperature monitoring sensor or a complex full video feed.

2) Connectivity

Next, that collected data is sent to a cloud infrastructure. The sensors/devices can be connected to the cloud through a variety of methods including: cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), or connecting directly to the internet via ethernet.

3) Data Processing

Once the data gets to the cloud, software performs some kind of processing on it. This could be very simple, such as checking that the temperature reading is within an acceptable range. Or it could also be very complex, such as using computer vision on video to identify objects. This processed data is then used to perform intelligent actions that make all our devices ‘Smart Devices’!

4) User Interface

Next, the information is made useful to the end-user in some way. This can achieve by triggering alarms on their phones or notifying through texts or emails. Also, a user might have an interface that allows them to proactively check in on the system. However, depending on the IoT application, the user may also be able to perform an action and affect the system. The user might remotely adjust the temperature via an app on their phone. These apps push the important information on your hand-held devices & help to send commands to your Smart Devices!

What Are Advantages Of Electrical Heat Tracing?

What is electrical heat tracing?

Electrical heat tracing refers to the process of monitoring and maintaining the temperature on vessels, tanks, pipes, valves, instrument panels, etc. An electrical heat tracing system is much more than just the heating cable. dpstar provides a complete system from design to installation, commissioning and testing. We manage the heat you need, from pipe freeze protection, or process temperature maintenance, to process heat-up applications.

---

Advantages of electrical heat tracing

• Easy to operate and maintain
• Easy to manage automation
• Lower installation cost and maintenance expense
• No overheat or burnout even when wrapped over itself (overlapped)
• Suitable for use in non-hazardous, hazardous and corrosive environments
• It can be installed on any contour such as pipe elbows, valves and different fittings due to its flexibility
• Energy efficient, automatically varies its power output in response to pipe temperature changes
• Cut to Length. Because of heating circuit is infinitely parallel, self-regulating heating cables can be cut to any length in the field or during the design process, minimizing waste and increasing installation flexibility.
• Temperature Regulation. As temperature increases the polymer pathways begin to break down – increasing resistance and decreasing heating output. Also giving the advantage of providing more heat at colder areas along the run of cable. Self-regulating heating cables are ideal for temperature maintenance and frost prevention installations because they produce more heating when cold; and conversely less heating and operating costs when warm (and less heating is needed).

How To Prevent Drain Clogs of Greasy Waste Lines

Greasy waste lines are pipes used for the disposal of waste oils and fats from kitchens and catering facilities. Thermal insulation of the pipes is often insufficient to keep greasy water free flowing in the lines in many cases. Whenever you pour hot grease down the drain, it sticks to the pipe. Hot water doesn’t help flush the grease out. It just builds up over time until it finally ends up blocking the entire pipe.

---

What is the best solution?
Flow maintenance involves heating a fluid in order to lower its viscosity so that it can be moved through a pipe or a tank. To keep a fat, oil & grease mixture (FOG) in suspension from the kitchen to the grease interceptor, a grease-line flow maintenance system is designed to maintain a 43°C fluid temperature. The drains must exit the building to an exterior grease interceptor or trap, and must be maintained at temperature the entire distance to prevent the FOG from congealing. Electric heat tracing is automatically adjusting their power output to compensate for temperature changes. Heat is generated as electric current passes through the conductive polymer core between the conductors. This means the cables only produce more heat when necessary. dpstar electrical heat tracing system provides flow-maintenance for greasy waste lines for both above-ground and buried piping.

---

Why you should use our electrical heat tracing?
• Simple design – installed on metal or plastic pipes, wrapped around valves and heat sinks
• Efficient – avoid costly drain cleaning charges, eliminate fog congealing on the interior of pipes and lines
• Provide maximum safety and protection from fire.

Temperature Plays An Important Role In Dairy Industry

Grade A milk is carefully produced, processed and packaged in order to protect the safety of the consumer. Grade A milk must be pasteurized to be sold by retailers in interstate commerce. Raw milk is usually pasteurized either by low temperature pasteurization in which the milk is heated to 145 °F or higher for at least 30 minutes, or by high temperature pasteurization in which the milk is heated to 161 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds and then quickly cooled.

---

The Purpose of Pasteurization

• To increase milk safety for the consumer by destroying disease causing microorganisms (pathogens) that may be present in milk.
• To increase keeping the quality of milk products by destroying spoilage microorganisms and enzymes that contribute to the reduced quality and shelf life of milk.

However, pasteurized milk can readily spoil and could cause foodborne illness if not properly protected and handled.

---

What is the solution for dairy industry?

Pasteurization prevents a lot of diseases. This process is particularly successful in preventing or delaying spoilage in dairy products, especially milk, which is an excellent medium for microbial growth. In fact, improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalisations than any other food-borne disease outbreak, making it one of the world’s most dangerous food products.

Electrical heat tracing is a commonly used system to assist in dealing with this issue. By selecting electrical heat tracing, a process temperature maintenance system can maintain the temperature of the fluid to the desired level, over a broad range of temperatures, depending on the need dictated by the particular process or application. dpstar electrical heat tracing offers process temperature maintenance as a complete heat management system which includes the selection of appropriate industrial heat trace technologies and advanced control system technologies.
