The effect of warming the planet using certain construction materials is both real and pervasive. Can we trust the global warming facts coming from meteorological stations that went from rural surroundings to urban development? Hard to say, but studies continue to seek answers as to how raising the reflectivity of the sun’s rays may lower
Thanks to rapid advances in the efficiency of solar panels and the batteries used to store their power, running energy-intensive household appliances has become more viable and cost-effective today. An air conditioner is a household implement that uses a lot of power. Just a few years ago, running even a low-wattage window-mounted air condition with
Air conditioning. The hero everyone needs during summer. It’s what provides us with cool air when the temperature is off the charts. However, something that people seem to misunderstand is that air conditioners bring in fresh air from the outside. Here’s what you need to know about how air conditioners function. Does it bring in
An air handling unit handles the air as it flows through the home or facility that it is conditioning. Because it is conditioning the air, there must be a supply air stream and a return air stream. This allows the air handler to pull some portion of air that it has already recycled into the
Modern computer labs require special air content that is free of unwanted contaminants. The whirring fans and overly hot processors need air control to a higher degree than what is found in an everyday business setting. For this reason, the machines in a computer lab should have special treatment for their environment. Dust is one
In terms of engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering consists of the broadest range of applied engineering, and piping engineers are experts in this field. A piping engineer’s capabilities and duties can span from the research and development of a device to the actual building and testing of piping systems, thermal sensors and more. They can even
Whenever someone thinks about plumbing, they usually think about their sinks, showers and toilets. However, plumbing is more complicated than that. All plumbing systems are connected to a series of pipes that have two uses; for us to use and to get rid of waste. Here’s what you need to know about the different types
You have just settled your purchase on a new building, and you are excited to embark on your new industrial journey. You look forward to making needed customizations to the building to fit the needs of your business, and you are excited about raking in massive amounts of profit. Before you can proceed with any
Most piping systems are generally thought of as plumbing. Whenever liquids or other materials pass through pipes for the purpose of supply or disposal, piping systems can be correctly referred to as plumbing systems. In the manufacturing industry, however, pipes that are used to move materials and liquids with the goal of creating something new
Like many people, you may have a tendency to consider all pipes as being part of plumbing systems. When it comes to process piping, however, these structures serve very different purposes. As such, they are often comprised of very different materials. To make things more confusing, in many manufacturing facilities, both plumbing and process piping
