Top information about Cooling Towers

What do you know about cooling towers? What is the primary function of this device? In what industries is it used? To answer such questions, read the following article.

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of closed circuit dry cooling towers, rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature.

Cooling towers are used in residential, commercial and factory complexes. Cooling towers are also used in refineries and thermal power plants.

Crossflow vs Counterflow Cooling Towers

Comparing crossflow vs counterflow cooling towers is a common thing to do when choosing between cooling towers for a specific application. The most apparent distinction between crossflow towers and counterflow towers is that the airflow is perpendicularly contacted with the process water in the fill in the former while it comes into contact with the process water stream in the opposite direction for the latter. Click to read more


The Counterflow Cooling Tower

The counterflow cooling tower is a type of cooling tower designs that offers the maximum thermal performance for its area of occupation. The fill media is horizontally installed beneath the hot water distribution basin, and the cooling process is carried out as the air passes through the fill absorbing the heat from the water flowing down the fill. see more

Introduction of electric motors and types

Image
  You've probably heard of electric motors by now. A critical piece in all electrical appliances. In this article, we will introduce electric motors in detail and examine its types, so stay tuned. An electric motor is a component that converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. Most electric motors are  electromagnetic -based. Most electric motors are rotary, but there are also linear motors. In a rotating motor, the moving part (usually inside the engine) is called the impeller or rotor, and the fixed position is called the station or stator. The motor consists of electric magnets wound on a frame. Although this frame is often referred to as armature, the term is often misused. Types of Electric Motor Electric motors may be classified by considerations such as power source type, internal construction, application and type of motion output. In addition to AC versus DC types, motors may be brushed or brushless, may be of various phase (see single-phase, two-phase, or three-phase

Read more about Centrifugal Compressor

 Centrifugal Compressor is one of the types of compressors. In this post, we talked about how it works, its types, and comparing it with several other compressors. The radial compressor is also called a centrifugal compressor. This kind of dynamic compressor has a radial design. They operate at constant pressure and any changes in the external conditions will affect the performance of these compressors. Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called radial compressors, are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. They achieve a pressure rise by adding kinetic energy/velocity to a continuous flow of fluid through the rotor or impeller.   Types of  Centrifugal Compressor Multi-Stage Compressor Multi-stage compressors are among different types of centrifugal compressors. As the name suggests, this compressor has been designed to pass the gas through multiple stages for diverse purposes. Multi-stage compressors are used when a single-stage compressor can’t keep up with

Review and introduction of different parts of control valves

Image
 Control valves are one of the applications in home and industrial applications. We have talked about it in previous articles. In this article, in addition to an overview of its use, we want to introduce Control Valve Parts . Stay with us. What is Control Valve? A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller.This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level. In automatic control terminology, a control valve is termed a "final control element". Bad fuel can cause key engine parts, such as the injection control unit, fuel pressure control valve, fuel oil pump or cylinder liners and piston rings to go from new to unusable in no time.  Read more The main purposes of control valves: Relieving the system from specific pressures Controlling the flow direction Increasing or decrease the flow Parts of co
