CIMAC Congress Set for Kyoto

One of the world's premier technical events leading the discussion of com- bustion engine technology across the industrial board is the CIMAC World

Congress, which is set to convene at its 24th event in Kyoto, Japan, from June 7 to 11.

The CIMAC Congress - founded in 1951 and is the French acronym for

International Council on Combustion

Engines - takes place every 2 to 3 years, bringing together manufacturers of diesel engines, gas engines and gas tur- bines, users such as shipowners, utilities and rail operators, and suppliers, oil companies, classification societies and scientists from all over the world, to encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information and to promote a higher level of understanding among the combustion engine community. It is a non-profit association acting worldwide.

The technical program of the forth- coming CIMAC Congress includes 185 papers from 23 countries in 44 sessions.

Panel sessions on 'Users view and expectation on the future of ICE' as well as 'Gas turbine future Aspects' will be held on Wednesday afternoon. June 9.

The traditional 'Collin Trust Lecture', followed by a panel session on 'Environmentally and human friendly

ICE' on Thursday afternoon, June 10, will round off the technical sessions at this year's CIMAC Congress.

This year, ASME-ICED members are also being asked to participate in the

CIMAC Congress being held in June 2004 in Kyoto. Japan. For the first time

ASME-ICED is organizing four ses- sions at the congress, which will take the place of their usual spring conference.

More than 600 top-level participants from all over the world are expected to attend this congress. As at previous

CIMAC Congresses, there will be an attractive social program in the evenings and a daytime program with optional tours for accompanying persons.

Optional Post Congress tours with inter- esting visits and insights into Japanese industry are offered for Friday, June 11.

It is the technology you must be able to rely on. For whoever wants to successful- ly lay the groundwork for customer loyalty must first and foremost think of the quali- ty of his products and services.

We at RENK have made quality our most important maxim.

We call that competency with tradition and future.

Smart Pneumatic Level

Sensor with Generic 4-20mA Output

The Bubbler is an electro-pneumatic level trans- mitter that allows remote level measurement using a 4-20mA analog output. The lack of air pressure poses no operational problems, due to an auto- matic one-way valve which closes as soon as the pressure drops below 1 bar, this prevents back flow in the bubbling line towards the transmitter.

Over pressure is also protected against by an automatic one-way valve. • It's the size of a grapefruit • Explosion proof housing • Accuracy .3% full scale • Automatic over-pressure valve • Automatic stop valve for air failure • Automatic cleaning of bubbling line • Connection for pressurized tanks • 2 pair 24 VDC and 4-20mA cable • Top or side mount
