What’s the Purpose of Cooling Water Filtration
Water is not only important for life but also plays a very vital role in the industrial and manufacturing sector. But if the quality of water is not up to the required standard than ultimately it will affects the quality of an end product because water is used extensively in cleaning and cooling activities. This [...]
Energy Savings In Manufacturing Industry
Energy plays a very important role in industry, Industries could be classified into heavy energy consumer, medium energy consumer and low energy consumer. Organization have started doing energy audits in their plants, offices etc. Such studies has highlighted waste of energy and requirement of energy efficient technology. Some areas for energy cost reductions. OFFICE: Large [...]
Energy Efficiency Audit
Energy efficiency means utilizing less amount of energy to supply the equivalent degree of energy service. Energy efficiency audits are generally done in plants. It might be carried out in a household as well, but these are generally done by individuals, whereas plants or factories tend to be more concerned as these energy expenditures eat [...]
Types of Evaporative Air Coolers
Evaporative air coolers include a system of cooling in which the evaporation of a liquid, typically into the surrounding air, cools the object or a liquid in contact with it. There are number of evaporative designs that people can purchase. * Direct Evaporative Coolers – this open circuit is used to lower the temperature of [...]
Water Treatment by Using Ozone
No water is ever pure. It is a little bit of a fairy tale when you think that water can be. Water is a universal solvent. When water is given to the environment, it becomes immediately contaminated with many different organic and inorganic substances. Not every one of the contaminants is bad for you. Some [...]
Chillers – Types, Working & Applications
Chiller is one of the most important cooling equipment used in laboratories. The main function of a laboratory chiller is to remove heat from one substance and pass it to other sources like ambient water or air. Chiller is a compressor based equipment that cools and controls the temperature of a liquid unlike the air [...]
Reach-Ins and Roll-Ins
Most kitchens have too much or too little refrigerated space at the proper locations to meet their needs. In other words, the physical capacity may be adequate, but either it’s not the correct type of refrigerator space or it’s not flexible enough to be used to maximum efficiency. Having the right kinds of refrigeration actually [...]
Housing and Smart Houses; Energy Self Sufficient Possibilities
Housing and smart houses. I believe that we could have avoided this upcoming Natural Gas Shortage by building smarter and more efficient homes. For instance by using small devises which are simple such as using the idea of mini-hydro pumps, reflective energy boosting solar efficiency by 2.5 from a water pond (with 1-2 inches of [...]
Water and Air-Cooled Chillers – Small Variations, Big Difference
Specialised businesses require dedicated tools and resources. Yet even specialised tools can vary in process and functionality, even if they’re designed to service a similar set of tasks. Chillers pose just one example of this, offering a variation of water-cooling options by way of different designs. When it comes to specialised business tools, variations in [...]
