Thermopiles for gas and flame detection
Dexter Research thermopiles are selectable over a wide spectral range, fast responding and DC capable.
Understanding stresses and failure in pressure vessels
As a small rupture or failure of these vessels can cause an explosion, engineers must understand the different stresses that pressure vessels experience before designing (or choosing) one for an application.
How turbulence affects heat transfer
Several factors contribute to the performance of cooling air for heat transfer enhancement. One of such factors is called turbulence. Follow along with Engineering360 to understand how turbulence affects heat transfer.
Wilo-Actun ZETOS for energy efficient water supply and enhanced reliability
The new Wilo-Actun ZETOS pump features stainless-steel investment casting and a permanent magnet motor selected specifically for the pump’s hydraulics to deliver excellent energy efficiency.
Miniature pinch valves now available
The design is ideal for applications requiring a higher degree of cleanliness such as in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries.
Video: Anellotech demonstrates new direct route to light olefins and BTX from conversion of mixed plastic waste
The thermal catalytic reactor system converts a range of mixed waste plastics into the same valuable chemical feedstocks used to make virgin plastics.
This material excels at waste heat recovery
The mineral can reversibly and rapidly store and release relatively large amounts of low-grade heat without decomposing.
Intelligent sensing solutions for carbon capture and gas analysis
Generally speaking, CCUS technology is used to capture CO2 emissions and convert it into a liquified state for short-term storage and transport.
Large-capacity centrifugal chillers consume low-GWP refrigerant
Two new models use HFO-1234yf refrigerant and are available in capacities up to 5,400 refrigeration tons.
Adventures in Industrial Heating (Sept. 4-10)
According to the IEA, industrial heating can account for two-thirds of industrial energy use and 20% of overall global energy use. In turn, there are industry-wide efforts to improve efficiency and find new, lower-carbon fuel sources. Or instead, find creative uses for waste heat or manufacturing byproducts.
Membrane designed for fast, friction-free desalination
The membrane is composed of a series of nanoscale tubes lined with a Teflon-inspired material that repels salts while allowing water to flow through with little friction.
Engineering a more efficient heat pump
A prototype flexible heat pump technology is anticipated to deliver as much as 10% efficiency gains relative to current residential heating systems.
New Kennametal ceramic grade offers higher wear resistance, longer tool life in hard turning applications
The new grade provides greater depth of cut capabilities than polycrystalline cubic boron nitride inserts when machining hardened steel or cast iron.
Video: Case debuts its compact dozer loader
The hallmark advancement of the CASE Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler.
A cheap and efficient carbon capture component
Off-the-shelf melamine powder forms the basis of an inexpensive material that could be of value on curbing carbon emissions.
New hydraulic power pack options for portable machine tools
The Enerpac PP-Series includes four hydraulic power packs comprising two electric- and two diesel-powered models. Variable pumps within the power packs allow pressure and flow to be adjusted for specific applications, according to the company.
How carbon emissions will change the plastics industry
Despite an anticipated increase in the deployment of recycling systems, humans generated 460 million tons of plastic in 2019, and usage will continue to climb.
Yanmar launches new range of portable diesel water pumps now EU Stage-V compliant and CE marked
Yanmar has re-launched its popular Yanmar Diesel Pump (YDP) series of portable diesel water pumps to accommodate water solution requirements worldwide.
Video: University explores geothermal heating option
Cornell University is exploring the potential of onsite geothermal resources to provide campus heating services.
First industrial scale carbon capture plant in the UK
The Tata Chemicals Europe facility is expected to capture 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually and reduce the company’s carbon emissions by over 10%.
