Eaton - Experts & Thought Leaders

Rethinking filtration: with BECO® Helix depth filter cartridges, Eaton's Filtration Division introduces a completely new approach to liquid filtration. These innovative depth filter cartridges provide a double depth filtration effect, significantly higher particle-holding capacity, and a longer service-life compared to other pleated depth filter cartridges. This performance is made possible by the unique helix wrapping of the pleated polypropylene (PP) fleece layers. BECO Helix depth filter cartridges The fine fleece layers provide reliable separation in particle, clarifying, and fine filtration The innovative structure and the graduated, thin fleece layers from coarse to fine, maximize the filter surface area and allow optimal flow with low pressure differentials.  The funnel effect and high mechanical stability of the graduated fleece layers make BECO Helix depth filter cartridges excellent for backwashing. The fine fleece layers provide reliable separation in particle, clarifying, and fine filtration, while also protecting downstream membrane filter cartridges. Variety of different applications and filter housings Available in various lengths, with all common adapter designs and gasket materials, the BECO Helix depth filter cartridges ensure safe use across a variety of different applications and filter housings.  The depth filter cartridges have a filter area of 0.7 square meters per 10-inch element, they are available with retention rates from 0.6 to 10.0 µm, and are available immediately. Regeneration and sterilization instructions "The BECO Helix depth filter cartridge with a retention rate of 0.6 µm was specifically designed for bottling processes in the beverage industry. It protects downstream membrane filters from clogging substances and significantly extends their service-life, provided the regeneration and sterilization instructions are properly followed," explains Elke Brandscheid, Team Leader Technical Service & Product Manager Filter Cartridges of Eaton's Filtration Division. The CIP and SIP capability (Clean-in-Place and Sterilize-in-Place) of the BECO Helix depth filter cartridges also makes them well-suited for this application, while their backwashability, even with hot water, further extends the service-life and reduces operating costs. Eaton’s long-standing expertise Eaton’s long-standing expertise in filtration for industries like cosmetics and fine chemicals All BECO Helix depth filter cartridges provide a beta ratio of ≥ 5,000 or a retention efficiency of ≥ 99.98%. These food-grade depth filter cartridges have been carefully developed through extensive research, drawing on Eaton’s long-standing expertise in filtration for industries such as food & beverage, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. The innovative design of the BECO Helix depth filter cartridges enables optimized filtration with extended service life, reduced operating costs, and more sustainable material use. CIP and SIP compatible backwashability CIP and SIP compatible backwashability, with a wide range of applications: BECO Helix depth filter cartridges, available in various retention rates and made from polypropylene, provide a safe and efficient solution for pre-filtration and fine filtration across diverse industries. Double depth filtration effect and maximum particle-holding capacity: The unique helix wrapping increases the filter surface area and mechanical stability, resulting in significantly improved filtration performance and extended service-life for the depth filter cartridges.

Intelligent power management company - Eaton is demonstrating broad capabilities to keep the power on at home, while helping minimize infrastructure upgrades to utility and home energy systems. The company’s AbleEdge™ home energy management system provides the foundational technology required to leverage any onsite distributed energy resource (DER) to power homes. Eaton is working with pioneering automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), energy storage and solar providers to create interoperable and cost-effective approaches ready to support vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) now and into the future. V2H and V2G-ready solutions Eaton has demonstrated its ability to support V2G programs with utilities and automotive OEMs The average U.S. home experiences about five and a half hours without electricity per year. V2H technology can bridge that gap, keeping the power on via use of an electric vehicle (EV) battery for 10 to 20 hours for most homes, depending on the season, battery capacity and home size. Eaton is uniquely positioned to accelerate V2H and V2G-ready solutions with its longtime experience and industry-pioneering solutions to safely manage power in homes, vehicles and on the grid. Already, Eaton has demonstrated its ability to support V2G programs with utilities and automotive OEMs. Investment and managing future updates “EV batteries present an enormous opportunity to enable home energy systems that work smarter, harder and more effectively — keeping the power on and reducing home energy costs,” said Paul Ryan, General Manager of Connected Solutions and EV Charging at Eaton. He adds, “We’re delivering the breakout technology and industry collaborations needed so that homeowners can power their homes in new ways, while minimizing infrastructure investment and managing future updates through interoperability with onsite energy sources.” Home energy management system Eaton is applying its Home as a Grid approach, which simplifies the energy transition Eaton is applying its Home as a Grid approach, which simplifies the energy transition and is designed for interoperability and cybersecurity to safely and effectively enable V2H. In North America, the AbleEdge home energy management system can pair EV batteries, as well as solar and energy storage with residential electrical systems to provide power during grid outages and peak demand times. Process of incorporating DERs Eaton’s technologies streamline the process of incorporating DERs for homeowners by avoiding costly electric panel and service upgrades that can take weeks to complete – delivering significant cost and time savings. The company is expediting installations through its collaboration with Treehouse, which is providing consumers with fast, accurate pricing and end-to-end installation capabilities with licensed electricians. Partnership with Munich Electrification Eaton told its alliance with Munich Electrification to develop and market its BCS Eaton is also facilitating power distribution and protection within electric vehicles by utilizing industry-pioneering technologies that safeguard and manage power, particularly during the charging process. Eaton recently announced its partnership with Munich Electrification to develop and market its battery configuration switch (BCS), which enables more flexibility in EV charging options, reduces equipment count and enhances performance.
