Oil Mist Eliminators: The Green Tech Nobody Talks About
Lubricating oils become converted into very fine particles and create vapors inside of the equipment. Prior to new technology developments, this vapor was vented into the atmosphere, where the oily mist would settle in and contaminate the surrounding areas.
How to Select the Right Valve for Your Application
Many factors are involved in selecting the correct valve for your application. While valve sizing and selection can be a complex process, an engineer can start the valve selection process by understanding their application requirements and finding suitable valve specifications to meet these needs.
Allegro MicroSystems Releases a New Multi-outpost Automotive Power Management IC
Allegro MicroSystems, LLC has produced a new power management integrated circuit (IC), the A4408, that uses a buck or buck-boost pre-regulator to efficiently convert automotive battery voltages into a tightly regulated intermediate voltage complete with control, diagnostics and protections. The output supplies a 5 volt/115 milliamp tracking/protected low-dropout, a 3.3 volt/165 milliamp low-dropout, a 5 volt/325 milliamp low-dropout and an adjustable output synchronous buck regulator.
Avoiding Industrial Downtime by Filtering Lubricating Oils
One way to protect the turbines is by implementing lubricating oils that guard against the wear-and-tear on moving parts within a turbine, as well as assist in other ways, such as heat transfer and protection against corrosion.
