Keeping cool sustainably with propane as refrigerant
Switching to propane as a refrigerant could lessen the global temperature increase from space cooling.
Industrial wastewater transforms into profitable byproduct
The technique converts hazardous wastewater into potable water while retrieving valuable acids.
Electrification of process heating equipment for CO2 reduction
One significant source of CO2 production is in process heating and steam generation, where fuel fired boilers and heating systems traditionally provide energy input.
New KOP AM20 Series Gate Valves deliver improved wellhead and tree system integrity
The KOP AM20 Series Gate Valve significantly reduces non-productive time (NPT) and the risk of catastrophic well loss while requiring less maintenance and lower inventory costs.
New electrochemical pump method enhances hydrogen purification
The purification of hydrogen can be simplified using a pump equipped with high-temperature proton-selective polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) and phosphonic acid ionomer electrode binder.
Fabric filter captures and converts CO2 emissions
The filter removes CO2 from air and gas mixtures at promising rates.
The new GEA NiSoX-Valve improves product micronization and uniformity
The NiSoX-Valve design optimizes different fluid dynamic effects employing the energy in the most efficient and effective way.
DAWN of a new solar fuel production plant
The world’s first industrial plant to produce synthetic fuels using solar heat is now under construction in Jülich, Germany.
KSB Group’s future-proof diaphragm valves for drinking water
The valve covers a temperature range from -10° C to 90° C (14° F to 194° F) and is designed for a pressure of 16 bar (232 psi). This makes the SISTO-16RGAMaXX series highly suitable for thermal disinfection.
Heat exchangers: Safety and operating tips
While this list is generic toward all heat exchangers, it can hopefully get the conversation started around heat exchanger safety and help engineer ensure optimal heat exchanger operation.
Fundamentals of precipitation hardening for steel alloys
Increased hardness makes a surface less prone to damage, meaning surfaces with high hardness are less likely to be scratched or indented. This improves wear resistance significantly, which is why rugged, dirty industrial environments often call for hardened alloys.
New bubble detection sensor introduced by Instrumems
Instrumems' new bubble detection sensor increases the product yield or the accuracy of the material delivery and reduces equipment downtime through early indication of liquid blockage or leaks.
A refresher on heat transfer methods
To make a process cost-effective, proper heat management is essential. Before delving into optimizing heat management, it is important to review some of the basics of heat transfer and a few commonly-used methods of industrial heating.
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.
