Power is basic necessity and life can not be imagined without power. As power is essential part of our life, we use power to run our machines like Television, Refrigerator, Fans, Air conditioners, Lights, Geyser, mixture grinder and list goes on and on. For using power we need to pay electricity bill, for household application …
Refrigeration is the process of heat removal by lowering temperature beyond atmospheric temperature. For producing refrigerating effect various methods are used. We shall be discussing various refrigeration system in this article. Two important terms used in refrigeration system is TR(Ton of Refrigeration)and COP ( Coefficient of performance), TR is used to define the capacity of …
An energy audit is a systematic analysis of energy use and consumption. It is important to map all major energy in an energy audit and identify the energy loss area and saving potential. For accurate and quantified identification of energy loss or estimation of saving potential, it is important to have some of the important …

When it comes to heat rejection cooling towers are the essential equipment for almost all type of industries. Cooling towers are a special type of heat exchangers where air and water are brought in direct contact with each other to reduce water temperature. cooling tower works on the principle of evaporative cooling. Water is broken …
Open or closed-loop cooling tower, Which is better? Read More »
Ideally, heat should not be released into the atmosphere and it should be recovered for process use. Many times process is not capable of utilizing heat and heat needs to be rejected to the atmosphere to keep the process operational. Air Cooled Heat exchangers are used to reject heat. As in the case of cooling …
The cooling tower is a device used to reject heat and reduce water temperature. counter or cross-flow cooling towers are the two different types of cooling towers based on the airflow pattern. In a counterflow cooling tower, air and water movement are opposite to each other while in a crossflow cooling tower flow of airflow …

With the improvement in the compressed air technology, efficiency of air compressed air and air distribution has improved. Even with such improvement compressed air leakages cannot be avoided. Unfortunately all compressed air system will have leakages and it cannot be eliminated but off course it can be minimized. Identify and prevent air leakages are important …
Condensate removal in compressed air is necessary to operate compressed air system efficiently and keep it working properly. Unwanted water, oil emulsion, dirt and other liquids needs to be removed from the compressed air system. Condensate in compressed air can damage pipelines , instruments receivers and can cause instability of compressed air delivery pressure, in …

Wind turbine is the machines used to convert wind (Kinetic energy) to electrical energy. On contrary to fans where electrical energy is converted to wind, in wind turbines winds are made to rotate fans and energy is produced. Wind is one of the most common energy available in the earth and developed because of atmospheric …
