Choosing a ball valve that lowers emissions
Regulatory agencies in both the US and Europe are tightening controls on fugitive emissions, such as equipment leaks, as opposed to point-source emissions from reactor vents or boiler exhaust stacks. Michael Adkins and Pete Ehlers, both of Swagelok, explain how choosing the right ball valve can keep you in compliance.
Protecting an inaccessible motor
For many applications, VSD motors are set far away from the pumps they run, which can cause bearing damage and motor failure. Steve Hughes, managing director of REO, explains how new filter technology can protect these hidden motors.
Fire fighting pumps: Reducing the risk of a serious fire
Fires in Queensland and New South Wales in August are not unheard of, but are often a forewarning of more serious fires to come once the heat of summer arrives. This makes it all the more important for firefighters and homwowners to ensure they have the best pump equipment to help fight the flames.
Dynamic delivery for home heating
Central heating manufacturers are developing environmentally-conscious technologies which can effectively distribute heat, while saving energy. Phil Marris discusses the technological developments in the heating industry which have made the use of heat pumps with powerful, compact radiators a reality.
Pump selection: A real example
Choosing the most appropriate and cost-effective centrifugal pump for a given duty requires strict adherance to a thorough selection process, as Eduardo Larralde and Rafael Ocampo discussed in the first article of this two-part series. Here they demonstrate the application of the selection procedure in practice with a real-life example.
