Brooks Instrument’s Ed Fisher, who is our inside expert on all things DLI Vaporizer, gives you a tour of a direct liquid injection vaporizer system that we built for a customer. There were actually three of these units shown in the video. The sound isn’t that great, so I apologize for that in advance.

In part three, Ed finishes explaining this massive DLI Vaporizer system.

Intersolar North America Wrap-Up

July 20th, 2010 No comments

As a vendor exhibiting at Intersolar you get to see the show from a little different perspective than the average show visitor.  Through your interaction with numerous customers visiting your booth you start to get a sense of the mood of the attendees and the opportunities that exist in the solar industries.

My first observation is that I was glad Brooks Instrument participated in the Intersolar portion of the combined Semicon/Intersolar show.  From a facilities perspective, the two venues for the shows almost reflected the state of the two industries.  Intersolar is located in Moscone West, a new exhibit hall which features large windows that let in the sun and generates a positive atmosphere on the show floor.  The solar industry is the future and these facilities reflect that optimism.

Yikes! Stripes!

July 13th, 2010 1 comment

Did you ever look at a large expensive building covered in glass? That glass is usually coated with some exotic materials to reflect heat in either direction. Some glass manufacturers are even shipping self cleaning glass. If you look hard, some of those large glass panels have stripes on them. Builders and architects hate that; so do I.

The stripes are usually caused by variations in the thickness of the coating material causing light to reflect non-uniform angles. A glass coating company I recently visited was coating sample pieces and was struggling with that same problem. This glass company was vaporizing a super secret liquid precursor for coating glass. In this process the vapor traveled through a very hot slot (as wide as the glass) over hot moving glass where a surface reaction takes place causing it to bond with the glass.

See You at Intersolar North America

June 29th, 2010 No comments

I am proud to be leading the Brooks team at the upcoming Intersolar North America in sunny, beautiful San Francisco.  I recently attended Intersolar in Munich and was impressed with how that show has grown to almost fill the huge new Messe in Munich.  The halls were crammed with people even on a hot day for Germany, the Thursday session.  Intersolar North America appears to be on the same growth trajectory.

Our decision at Brooks to participate in Intersolar NA is a reflection on how great the show was last year and the maturation of the photovoltaic industry.  For many of the photovoltaic suppliers, their business models have gone from product development, market acceptance to that of an on-going business that needs to increase productivity using existing capital and continually reduce costs.  This is the perfect environment for Brooks material handling products which have been proven in industrial and process industries for decades. Brooks prides itself on developing products that are designed for long term, stable operation which is what is required now for low cost photovoltaic production.
