Cool produce, air or water with no electricity
Unique insulation prevents incoming sunlight from heating up the device while simultaneously radiating infrared light (heat) away from the device. This efficient process requires no moving parts or electricity to cool the device well below the ambient air temperature.
How does a HEPA filter work?
High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) filters are air filters designed to trap a vast majority of very small particulate contaminants from an air stream. Learn about how they work, relevant standards and more in this article.
New versatile, addressable perforation system
GEODynamics advanced perforation system provides heightened levels of precision and reliability and is compatible with most addressable switches on the market.
HVAC units for offshore oil and gas applications
Offshore oil and gas operations present three major challenges to HVAC infrastructure: increased corrosion potential, hazardous locations and space restrictions. To overcome these challenges, Specific Systems present their InPac units.
Cold-Shot® pipe freezing kit keeps pressurized systems operating
The Cold-Shot® pipe freezing kit keeps pressurized systems operating while you make repairs.
Save with butterfly valve tee linkages
Learn about butterfly valve (BFV) tee linkage applications and how BFV tee linkages can save you money.
Here's how to protect against gas hydrate formation during the winter
Associated gas and natural gas liquids are valuable commodities, so to realize profits special care is required during winter months.
Sensata introduces new solid state relays for large industrial equipment
The new SSRs are UL, VDE and CE certified for worldwide use in pump controls, HVAC&R, industrial ovens, plastic injection molding, food processing equipment and packaging equipment.
'Artificial leaf' sustainably produces syngas
Inspired by photosynthesis, researchers are using sunlight, rather than fossil fuels, to produce syngas.
Parker Hannifin introduces new silicone hoses for thermal management in extreme environments
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a new silicone hose series for use in thermal management applications.
Pros and cons of battery and water-powered backup sump pumps
Flooding due to power outage or sump pump failure is preventable with a backup sump pump. What are the pros and cons of battery and water-powered backup pumps?
Recycling nuclear fuel with 3D-printed parts
About 95% of the actinide elements in spent nuclear fuel can be recycled, leaving only 5% to be stored as long-term waste. A process for tapping this remaining percentage and further closing the nuclear fuel cycle has been devised by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and demonstrated with the aid of additive manufacturing technology.
Emerging technologies show promise for monitoring oil and gas infrastructure
Conventional corrosion sensors identify deterioration, but in order to detect early corrosion onset and establish an effective corrosion mitigation management plan, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) suggests that emerging technology may be required.
Tapflo launches the new range of filter press pumps
The pumps transfer large quantities of liquid into the empty press and small quantities at high pressure when the filter press is filled.
Pentair releases new commercial pumps with enhanced efficiencies
The pumps feature high working pressure thresholds and energy efficiencies for HVAC applications.
How does a pressure-compensated flow control valve work?
Pressure-compensated flow control valves are designed to provide a constant volume flow rate independent of the pressure drop across the valve.
Conversion of liquid oils into nutritional solid fats
A Barcelona-based startup, Cubiq Foods, is developing cultivated fats, a nutritional alternative to other solid fats used in baked goods, dairy and plant-based burgers.
Addressing treatment challenges for industrial water effluent
More than ever before, water is considered a key factor of production. And as such, it needs to be monitored, controlled and in many instances conserved.
Saving money, improving efficiency with direct steam injection
Several advantages are realized by the DSI approach; chief among them is cost savings
Rexnord introduces dual detectable material to help food processors mitigate contamination risks
The new material for select KleanTop® and TableTop® conveyor belts can be detected in both metal and x-ray machines.
