This article is all about heat rejection in the condensers. What is a condenser you ask? I’ll explain your question in this article as well! Then we’ll go deeper into knowing evaporative condenser and water-cooled condenser to help you gain useful information about them. Are you ready to learn? Then continue reading…   What is a condenser? A condenser is a part of air conditioners or heat pumps that should collect or release the heat. This operation actually depends on the time of the year. The basic parts used in the heat pump condensers and split air conditioner are the same. A condenser coil, fan, different controls, and compressor have been designed inside of a condenser to achieve the desired outcome. The air is circulated across the coil with the help of the condenser fan to ease the heat transfer and the compressor should compress the refrigerant and pump it to the coil in the form of hot gas. The only difference here is that in the heat pumps, this gas is directly p...

In this article, I want to explain the most important details about control valves and talk about its function, parts and types, in a nutshell, to help you expand your knowledge and also provide a few useful sources that can further enrich your knowledge on the subject. So, let’s dive into knowing a bit about control valves and then moving on into learning about its popular types and parts. Famous as the final control element in an automatic control terminology, control valves are units enabling you to regulate or control the pressure or flow rate of a material.   There are different control valve types that are tailored for different purposes. Here, we’ll name the most popular types and explain about them briefly.   Different control valve types The categorization of control valves are based on different parameters and features. They can be based on functionality, or the actuating medium, etc. Here are some of them: 1.      Actuating medium T...

In this article, I want to talk about reciprocating compressors and tell you all about their parts and then talk a bit about Hydrovane compressors to help you make an informed decision when choosing the right compressor for your system. If you are interested to know more about them, don’t hesitate to read what comes next.   What is a reciprocating compressor? Reciprocating compressor (also known as piston compressor) is a kind of compressor that contains a crankshaft to drive the piston, resulting in the delivery of gasses at high pressure. The gas then goes into the suction manifold and in the compression cylinder. This gas in this part of the piston compressor will be compressed with a piston. A crankshaft moves the piston in a reciprocating motion to compress the gas and is then discharged. If you want to gain more general information about them, you can check out this article .   Reciprocating compressor applications Piston compressors are used in the petroch...

  Systems like HVAC can help in Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. And yes, that’s where the name comes from! These systems (such as air compressors) are great for occupied indoor areas and can help in thermal control for any desired space. In this article I want to talk a bit more about these systems and help you get a better understanding about their functionality, component, maintenance, etc. and will introduce a few useful resources for further reading on each subject. Are you ready? Then keep on reading.   How to maximize your HVAC’s efficiency Each and every system wears out over time and these systems are not an exception. But here I will tell you how to get the most out of your system and also the ways to increase their lifetime! It’s not a secret that all systems need regular maintenance to keep working the way they’re supposed to. But some people just don’t know how much the right maintenance can affect efficiency and just do some basic steps and che...

  There’s no doubt that many large industrial applications require a cooling tower to help them reduce the augmented heat in the system. With the ability to reject heat waste to the open air, these systems are the heroes that can save the day when the produced heat in the systems reach high levels. So in this article, I will help you learn more deeply about this giant hero and understand its parts and efficiency as well as other useful details that expand your knowledge. So, what are you waiting for? You are just a blink away from the information! Keep on reading…   Cooling towers are designed with different sizes for diverse applications, whether in HVAC or industrial applications. And they are considered to be one of the most important components in the industry. There are different ways for their categorization, based on size, airflow, cooling flow, heat flow, etc.   All these categorization and designs… but how about its efficiency? How to get the most out of them...
