IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The all-new 2022 Kia Carnival Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) replaces the outgoing Sedona to become a multifaceted and unexpected companion.  Staking claim on the unoccupied space between SUV and family hauler, the Carnival arrives with a new name and is the first vehicle to be sold in the U.S. with Kia’s new logo proudly displayed on its sculpted hood. It pushes the boundaries on expected fronts in much the same way the Kia K5 did to redefine what a midsize sedan should be.

Reimagined Kia Carnival MPV pushes expected boundaries of design and innovation.

Penned at Kia’s California design studio, the Carnival wears a bold and boxy appearance and conveys the visual language found on the brand’s recent and highly successful line of rugged utility vehicles – Telluride, Sorento, and Seltos.

  • Best in class 290 horsepower at 6,400 rpm
  • 262 lb.-ft. torque at 5,000 rpm
  • 8-speed automatic transmission

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): Assists the driver when braking to help prevent a collision or lessen the effects in certain conditions if a pedestrian or vehicle is detected in front. Uses automatic braking to avoid or mitigate an impact.
  • Blind-Spot Avoidance Assist (BCA): Under certain conditions, can detect vehicles traveling in the next lane. When a vehicle is «seen» in the blind spot, the vehicle brakes the outer wheel under certain conditions to help return the vehicle to its lane
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA): Helps detect most approaching cross traffic when in reverse. When approaching cross traffic is detected, the system alerts the driver and applies brakes
  • Parking Distance Warning-Reverse (PDW-R): Detects certain objects behind the vehicle, issuing an audible warning when an obstruction is detected. The warning tone chimes faster as the vehicle gets closer to the detected object
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) with Lane Following Assist (LFA): Follows lane markings that the system detects and provides steering inputs to help maintain the vehicle in the center of the lane and includes Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which provides an audible warning when the vehicle drifts from its intended lane
  • High Beam Assist (HBA): Detects oncoming traffic and automatically switches off the high beam headlights then turns them on once traffic has passed
  • Driver Attention Warning (DAW)8: Senses inattentive driving patterns and sends an audible/visual warning to alert the driver

In addition, the Carnival offers several available «Kia Drive Wise» Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for additional peace of mind:

  • Segment-exclusive Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM): Projects live video view of adjacent lanes in the instrument cluster and activated via the turn signal
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Cyclist (FCA – cyclist): Helps detect cyclists in front of the vehicle and uses automatic braking to avoid or mitigate an impact
  • Highway Driving Assist (HDA)9. Uses federal highway speed limit information from the navigation system and, under certain conditions, will automatically adjust speed to be within the posted speed limit and maintain distance with the vehicle detected in front
  • Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control-Curve (NSCC-C): Leverages the navigation system to lower the vehicle’s speed proactively before upcoming curves
  • Parking Collision Avoidance Assist (PCA-R): Uses rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors to help detect most pedestrians or nearby obstacles when the vehicle backs out of a parking spot, warning drivers with a chime and can engage brakes to prevent a collision
  • Surround View Monitor (SVM): Utilizes four cameras to provide a 360-degree perspective around the vehicle enhancing driver confidence in tight parking situations

BAXTER, MInn., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Metrology Parts has announced the release of their newest article: A Manufacturing Guide to Reducing Production Waste. The article highlights how to reduce a business’s production waste in a cost-effective manner.

«Companies can save money by reusing waste or recovering materials from waste,» the company article says. «A business can use those recovered materials instead of paying for new inputs.» Reusing these materials not only saves money, but also helps a company to become more efficient in its processes.

The article discusses why it is important to reduce production waste as well as cost-effective approaches to begin reducing said waste. It also provides insight on how this keeps the environment safe, and can move companies towards closed-loop manufacturing. Proper measuring tools, for example, cut out excess waste which makes that closed-loop much more attainable.

By highlighting the need to increase awareness of production waste it also will explain how to make effective change in the right directions. Facts pulled from sites like EPA and The World Counts to show the damage done by production waste.

To learn more about Reducing Production Waste, visit Metrology Parts here.

The Sheffield Condominiums Poised for Immense Annual Savings with Clean Energy, Flex Turbine® Powered Cogeneration

NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Sheffield condominium facility, located amidst high-end residential skyscrapers at the southern end of Central Park, is readying for the installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) system to be powered by a single, 333kW Flex Turbine. The 49 story Sheffield is comprised of 814,000 square feet, collectively housing 580 luxury condominiums, a full-service fitness center, health spa, glass-enclosed rooftop swimming pool, multiple entertainment spaces…

NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Sheffield condominium facility, located amidst high-end residential skyscrapers at the southern end of Central Park, is readying for the installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) system to be powered by a single, 333kW Flex Turbine. The 49 story Sheffield is comprised of 814,000 square feet, collectively housing 580 luxury condominiums, a full-service fitness center, health spa, glass-enclosed rooftop swimming pool, multiple entertainment spaces and lounges, child playrooms, common spaces, and laundry facilities. The Sheffield is funding 90% of project costs with reserves and using a 10% Federal Tax Investment Credit for CHP projects. Doing so enabled them to pay for the installation without having to pay interest on borrowed funds and without having to hit residents with special assessments or other cost increases. With expected annual energy savings of $200,000 to $250,000, the system is expected to have a full payback period of less than six years and will also help to stabilize energy costs for The Sheffield in subsequent years.

Energy savings were not the only motivating factor behind the project. Steve Schoenberg, Sheffield resident, Board Chairman of Building Operations, and Treasurer, cited numerous other benefits from the CHP system that Sheffield residents can look forward to. Chief among them was resiliency – the continuation of power in extended blackouts. In the event of power outages, the CHP system will maintain operation of the building’s high and low rise facilities, service elevators, common area lighting, lobbies, halls, stairways, and laundry rooms. Winter heating, ventilation, and exhaust fans, as well as hot and cold running water will be sustained in all residential units. Electric charging stations on every floor and use of the laundry rooms will also remain powered as will use of most of the facilities’ lounge areas, the gym, pool, building maintenance and management services, as well as the package room.

Mr. Schoenberg enumerated a number of other system efficiencies the residents can look forward to. «We will remain connected to the Con Ed grid and will continue to purchase power to meet The Sheffield’s peak demand.» Flex Turbines only require eight hours of service maintenance per year but there is no concern over potential gaps in power if the generator goes offline (i.e., for maintenance). Con Ed will automatically supply any power necessary with no interruption of electric service. The Flex Turbine will not produce more power than what is needed. It efficiently scales back and runs at a reduced output when the demand is low, avoiding any wasted energy.

Another driving factor of the CHP project is the recent passing of New York’s Local Law 97, also known as the Climate Mobilization Act. With this law, NYC buildings over 50,000 square feet are mandated to reduce their carbon emissions by 2024 and then again in 2030. Excessive fines, which can exceed $100,000 each year, will result from non-compliance. Because less fuel is burned to produce energy output and because transmission and distribution losses are avoided, CHP reduces emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and other air pollutants. CHP from the Flex Turbine will lower GHGs and other harmful emissions by over 30% compared to traditional plant and boiler options and will help The Sheffield comply with the new environmental regulations.

«The selection of a Flex Turbine to power the CHP system was a no-brainer,» Steve explained. «Flex Turbines produce high temperature exhaust that is hot enough to generate the steam needed to heat our building. In addition, the advanced technology of the generator is fully synchronous, so it matches its rotation to the same frequency and phase of the Con Ed power grid. This enables a seamless connection and efficient power load share with the Con Ed network. Most of the newer buildings currently being erected around The Sheffield are equipped with backup generators. These generators only run during power outages and otherwise are sitting idle. They produce no payback and, therefore, are less economically desirable. By contrast our CHP system leads the charge on a much more practical and modernized approach. The system will run 24/7, saving us money continually,» Mr. Schoenberg said.

The Sheffield will enter into a long-term service contract with Flex Energy Solutions, the turbine’s manufacturer. The Flex Turbine has a remote monitoring system, which helps Flex Energy Solutions predict and avoid most unscheduled service calls. The fixed price service contract will cover the cost of overhauls. The design life of the Flex Turbine is 20 years but can be extended with the right maintenance.

A GT333S Flex Turbine is slated for installation into The Sheffield’s mechanical room in June 2021. Low clearances in the mechanical room and access areas initially presented a challenge that Flex Energy Solutions’ engineering team quickly tackled. The solution is specific to the customer’s needs and includes the modification of a standard Flex Turbine unit so that it can be disassembled on site and then reassembled directly in the mechanical room. In addition, the Engineering team is designing special lifting equipment to support both the installation and the overhauls.
