New Chairman for IEC TC 27
The nomination of Sven Linow as Chairman of IEC TC (Technical Committee) 27: Industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing has been approved by SMB (Standardization Management Board). Linow will begin his term on 1 August 2012 for a period of 6 years.
A very promising process
TC 27 has been preparing International Standards relating to industrial electroheating installations since the 1960s. Electroheating is used in the production and processing of a variety of materials, from metal and glass to paper and foodstuffs and is increasingly being chosen over fossil fuel processes for its speed, lower production costs and energy efficiency. Electroheating equipment also offers a broad variety of heating methods with a particularly wide range of power and frequencies that can be utilized in developing technologies such as nanotechnologies, optoelectronics, photovoltaics and re-processing of wastes and dangerous products which require unique or very precise methods of heating.
