V.I.C. Products Featured at SEMICON West 2011
San Francisco, CA—July 12-14, V.I.C. exhibits at SEMICON West '11 held at the Moscone Center with their Western Regional Rep. Applied Vacuum Technology (AVTEC). Products on hand included the New high performance, high sensitivity MS-60 portable helium leak detector. More Also on display was the high speed MS-50UFT console helium leak detector which has become a staple in semiconductor and microelectroincs manufacturing. More Reducing Helium Usage and Associated Costs
Millennium Industries is a fuel rail manifold manufacturer with the capacity to manufacture over 12,000 fuel rails per day. A fuel rail is essentially a pipe (usually resembling a rail) used to deliver fuel to individual fuel injectors on internal combustion engines. Formerly, the company manufactured their fuel rails to withstand 75 psi. However, due to the stringent CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for fuel economy and efficiency, and new direct injection fuel delivery methods the company was faced with having to manufacture new products to withstand pressures from 2,200 – to 2,600 psi. Greater test pressures meant greater helium usage.
In order to avert the additional helium costs associated with the higher test pressures, Millennium installed a V.I.C. helium recovery system that would reclaim up tp 98% of the helium used. Even with the cost of the recovery system and the installation to retrofit three machines, the cost of the new system was recouped in a little over a six-month period. Full Story
Millennium Industries is a registered trade name.
