The inflation reduction act (IRA) has provisions that offer very strong incentives for implementing combined heat and power (CHP) as well as waste heat to power (WHP) systems. These incentives depend on various factors associated with the project, and are designed to nudge projects in directions that support union labor and apprenticeships, brownfield sites, sites … Continued
Maintaining proper temperature in data centers is critical. At one time, computer room and data center managers relied on conventional air conditioning systems to manage temperature. As systems were expanded with additional servers, managers simply added more air conditioners. The technology of today has necessitated larger data centers with much higher server densities. Computer room … Continued
As the U.S. Congress works out legislation to federally legalize marijuana, growers around the country are looking for ways to optimize production. Maintaining ideal humidity and temperature levels is essential for achieving optimal plant health. Growers are turning to cooling system experts to provide dependable equipment to help them maintain a stable growing environment. In … Continued
New tax incentives via the IRA are designed to help industrial users achieve NET Zero Emissions and decarbonization goals by allowing unprecedented return on investment when installing Combined Heat and Power Systems, AKA Co Generation. Since the overall efficiency of CHP systems far exceeds traditional plant utility strategies, and they can be fueled using clean … Continued
Effective boiler combustion system design involves fuel preparation, air and fuel distribution, furnace design, and combustion control. A mechanical device called the burner lies at the heart of this system. The job of the burner is to supply the required amount of fuel and air to create a condition of rapid mixing and flame propagation. … Continued
On May 25th, FläktGroup® SEMCOTM is hosting an Elite Series webinar to educate participants on the high performance, energy recovery design of this innovative series. The Elite Series can be employed as a component of an integrated system and provide total space conditioning. A primary advantage of the Elite Series is the ability to control … Continued
As the need for energy increases throughout the world, clean energy options are in particularly high demand, as environmental awareness and concern rise. Clean-burning natural gas (composed primarily of methane) plays an important role in meeting energy needs. Many gas utilities and consumers are turning to propane for standby and secondary fuel systems to enhance … Continued
To satisfy large loads or to provide superheated steam to process applications with the highest degree of efficiency and safety, watertube boilers offer an excellent alternative to conventional firetube boilers. Watertube technology is a more recent development in boiler technology compared with the more traditional fire tube design. The primary difference between these types of … Continued
Deaerators are often used in conjunction with steam-generating boilers for the removal of oxygen and other dissolved gases from the boiler’s feedwater. Deaerators are typically designed to remove oxygen down to levels of 7 ppb by weight (0.005 cm³/L) or less, while virtually eliminating carbon dioxide. The removal of these contaminants is important due to … Continued
Electric boilers provide reliable performance and efficiency, while being safer and cleaner than other types of boilers. Koch Applied Solutions is proud to offer electric steam and hot water boilers from Precision Boilers. There are two varieties of electric boilers: submersible resistant element type boilers and electrode type boilers. These two kinds of electric boilers … Continued
