EnCAPsure sound enclosure
from Van Cappellenhttp://www.vancappellensoundsolutions.comVAN CAPPELLEN’S enCAPsure sound enclosure is fitted with purposely
selected sound absorption materials, offering excellent sound absorption
characteristics and increased overall noise reduction whilst meeting
the test criteria of some of the highest fire-resistance testing standards,
including EN 13501-1 B-s1, d0.
A key feature of the enCAPsure is the unique patented closure system
which ensures tight fit closure along the perimeter of the panels.
The 22mm standard enCAPsure panels are tested at Van Cappellen’s
in-house test laboratory in the Netherlands in order to fine-tune the
air-borne noise reduction. When the standard panels do not meet
requirements, Van Cappellen can design panels with specific acoustic
requirements and conduct test procedures at low cost. Acoustic scanning
hardware enables the company to detect leaks, panel resonances and
performance dips.Dometic CoolFun SC30B
http://www.dometic.comBILLED AS THE world’s first bio-material
cooler, Dometic’s CoolFun SC30B is
made from a biocomposite that contains
bast fibers from the hemp plant, which
is exceptionally good at sequestering
carbon. Using this strong material also
means less fossil-fuel plastic in the product
without compromising performance.
Fully recyclable, light and strong, its
carbon footprint is said to be 26% lower
than conventional coolers made from
polypropylene.
The Dometic CoolFun SC30B can
be operated by either 12V or 230V. It
cools down to 18°C below the ambient
temperature and has an additional warming
function that heats the interior up to 65°C.WiFi Gateway with data
logging from Actisensehttp://www.actisense.comACTISENSE’S W2K-1 IS an NMEA 2000 WiFi
Gateway with data logging technology that
has the ability to record navigational and
engine data. The W2K-1 can transmit NMEA
2000 data using TCP and UPD while also
offering support for conversion to NMEA- However, what makes the W2K-1
stand out is the voyage data recorder (VDR).
This means the device has the ability to
log a wide variety of vessel data such as
position, speed, course, depth, wind speed
and engine data. No other product on the
market can claim both of these features
as part of the same device, Actisense
claims. All data is logged on the W2K-1’s
internal micro SD card, which can hold
approximately 16 days of data.
Lowrance Ghost
http://www.lowrance.comLOWRANCE HAS ENTERED the electric trolling
motor market with Ghost, an ultra-quiet freshwater
trolling motor which features a new brushless
motor design. Said to deliver 25% more thrust and
45% longer run times than competing products, it
delivers up to 120lbs of thrust and allows for future
battery and charger upgrades.
Lowrance Ghost features a 360° breakaway
mount and a composite shaft. The unit offers two
integrated sonar nosecone options including HDI
and optional Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducers,
and the ability to steer, adjust speed, set up route
navigation or anchor at a specific location with
touchscreen control from a Lowrance display using
the company’s new SmartSteer interface.
