otherutility systems.What is an industrial refrigeration system?An ethylene manufacturing process usually consists of a hot section and a cold section. Theprimary equipment in the hot section is the pyrolysis furnace in which hydrocarbons are crackedat temperatures in excess of 1000o F to form ethylene and a slate of byproducts includingmethane, ethane, propylene, C4’s and C5 and heavier hydrocarbons. The cold section consists ofa series of distillation columns, flash drums and exchangers which separate pure ethylene fromthe byproducts. The cold section operates under cryogenic conditions with temperatures rangingfrom -160o F to -25o F. Refrigerants, usually ethylene and/or propylene of several temperaturelevels, are used as coolants in exchangers and

. Historically, SMWTs have been used in manufacturing in various types of companies, i.e.petrochemical, electronics, consumer products and pharmaceutical. During the 1990’s, the useof SMWTs has spread to other areas. Most recently, SMWTs have been introduced in serviceindustries, public/government industries and other “white-collar” or knowledge-based worksettings. “White-collar” or knowledge-based work settings comprise work that isn’t consideredblue-collar manufacturing. The following categories can be included under the “white-collar” label: clerical, support,production, technical, and professional. Clerical refers to the entire office staff in a factory orcorporate headquarters. Support refers to functions supporting the production process

Theirinternalized recognition, coupled with the recognition by meaningful others, further reinforcedwomen’s identities as scientists. As such, external recognition played a critical role in validatingtheir competence as knowledgeable science people. All of the women in Carlone and Johnson’s[21] study were professionals or working towards a terminal degree, thus maintaining a steadfastinterest in their career pursuits.

The lackof machine controller capability was evident in very slow motions due to low block processingspeeds of the controllers, long wait times for program uploads, insufficient machine memory forlarge program sizes, and very long wait times for on-machine program searches and editing. Thehardware also demonstrated a lack of capability with many short, jerky moves and frozen axismotions. To address these limitations, a new set of machines was recently purchased.
