In this article, we are going to talk about cooling towers. Join us. What is a cooling tower? 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. What are the  types of cooling towers? Different types of cooling tower s are there to help solve a major problem in the modern world: removing excess heat! A large amount of heat generated by industrial processes and different machines should be removed if you want your system to operate efficiently and to decrease the amount of money you need to pay for the extra pressure that such inefficient systems use. Below, you can see the different classification of Cooling Tower Typ

In this article, we are going to introduce a gas turbine. We will also examine the Gas Turbine Cycles and its different types. What is Gas Turbine: A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of continuous and internal combustion engine. The main elements common to all gas turbine engines are: an upstream rotating gas compressor a combustor a downstream turbine on the same shaft as the compressor. The first gas turbine type was turbojet engines. Although they look entirely different from reciprocal engines, they operate on the same principle: intake, compression, power and exhaust. In this type of engine, air is moved at a high speed to the fuel inlet and ignitor of the combustion chamber. The turbine induces accelerated exhaust gases by expanding air.

The basic operation of this turbine type has roots in the gas turbine cycle which is also known as the Brayton cycle.

In this article, we will introduce DC motors, introduce its different parts, and finally examine the DC motor working principles operation. Stay with us. What is DC Motor? What are the DC motor types and applications of ? DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical motors that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor. DC Motor Applications include the following: Electric vehicles Elevators and lifts Fans Cranes, etc DC Motor Types Permanent Magnet DC Motor The permanent magnet motors work by a permanent magnet to make a field flux. A PM direct connection motor does not have a field winding on the stator frame. Instead, it uses permanent magnets to provide a magnetic field against which the rotor field interacts to produ

Control valves have many applications in the industry. This article intends to thoroughly review the types of expansion valves , control valves, and ball valves. Join us. An expansion valve is a device in steam engine valve gear that improves engine efficiency. It operates by closing off the supply of steam early, before the piston has travelled through its full stroke. This cut-off allows the steam to then expand within the cylinder. This expanding steam is still sufficient to drive the piston, even though its pressure decreases as it expands. As less steam is supplied in the shorter time for which the valve is open, use of the expansion valve reduces the steam consumed and thus the fuel required.The engine may deliver two-thirds of the work, for only one-third of the steam. types of expansion devices as follows: Thermal expansion valves Manual valves Capillary tubes Automatic valves Electronic expansion valves Float valves Thermal Expansion Valves  A thermal expansion valve or therm

 In this article, we are going to examine the differences between dynamo and generator. We will also examine the various parts of the DC generator in detail. Stay with us. How does a DC generator working ?  In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power (mechanical energy) into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even hand cranks. The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.  A DC generator is an electric machine that converts electrical energy into direct current electricity. The DC generator consists of several parts. The name the part of dc generator are poles, pole shoes, armature core, armature winding, commutator. In the following, we will examine each of these parts in d

What is mechanical draft ? The mechanical draft system is a drainage system to remove flue gases through mechanical devices such as a fan. Mechanical draft cooling tower s are the most widely used in buildings which rely on power-driven fans to draw or force the air through the tower. In other words, air is circulated inside the tower mechanically by use of propeller fans or centrifugal fans. They are normally located outside the building. Mechanical draft towers come with a compact design and are powerful and variably adaptable to the respective operating and climatic conditions. Furthermore, they are the ideal solution for industrial applications such as in power plants, chemical and petrochemical plants, steel plants, air separation plants, in the automotive industry, in timber and paper factories as well as in air conditioning/ refrigeration systems. The two most common types of mechanical draft towers are induced draft and forced draft. Click to learn more about mechanical draf

What Is a Condenser ? In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In so doing, the latent heat is released by the substance and transferred to the surrounding environment. Condensers are used for efficient heat rejection in many industrial systems. Condensers can be made according to numerous designs, and come in many sizes ranging from rather small (hand-held) to very large (industrial-scale units used in plant processes). For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. In any systems with heat transfer like refrigerators, home air conditioning equipment chillers, heat pumps and ventilators there are many parts cooperating to transfer heat out of the entire system: but among these parts, one of them is basically known as the heat rejector and it is called condenser. We are going to examine how does a condenser wor

 In this article, we are going to introduce two types of compressors. Air Compressor and Hydrovane Compressor. Stay with us. Air Compressor An air compressor is a pneumatic device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e., compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When the tank's pressure reaches its engineered upper limit, the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use. The energy contained in the compressed air can be used for a variety of applications, utilizing the kinetic energy of the air as it is released and the tank depressurizes. When tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the air compressor turns on again and re-pressurizes the tank. An air compressor must be differentiated from a pump because it works for any gas/air, while pumps work on a l

In this article, we will talk about reciprocating compressors and their different parts and their types. Join us. What is Reciprocating Compressor A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a  positive-displacement compressor  that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. A reciprocating compressor has a piston that moves downwards thus reducing pressure in its cylinder by creating a vacuum. This difference in pressure forces the suction chamber valves open and bring gas or air in. When the cylinder goes up, it increases pressure thus forcing the gas or air out of the cylinder through a discharge chamber. Reciprocating compressors are used in a variety of industries and for different purposes.   Reciprocating Compressor Efficiency Reciprocating compressors are considered the most energy-efficient type of all compressors for most applications. This is while they tend to have a higher maintenance requirement than compared to other compressor types.
