Industrial lighting is the intentional use of fluorescent light or other lights to accomplish aesthetic or practical ends. Lighting includes the utilization of both electrical lighting sources such as light bulbs and lighting fixtures, and natural lighting captured through windows or skylights. In addition, lighting is necessary for various industrial applications in a variety of […]
Industrial heaters are mechanical devices that heat an object by the simple process of convection, conduction or radiation. Industrial heaters offer a cost-effective way of increasing the internal temperature of manufacturing processes, which will significantly improve productivity and cut energy costs in the long run. But not all industrial heaters are created equal. Here are […]
An electrical control panel contains two major parts: electrical elements and panel structure. The components of a control panel are often grouped together based upon their function, for example, the lighting controls may be in one compartment while the controls controlling the ventilation system are in another compartment. The structure of an electrical control panel […]
The power electronics and controllers field are a key component of all major manufacturing plants, vehicles, and industrial equipment. In recent years, the need for more advanced controls has increased tremendously due to the complexities of modern technology and applications. Many jobs now require a jumpstart to a career in this increasingly important industry. This […]
Industrial lighting has always been around and most definitely has its time and place in any company that needs it. It is used to either protect valuable equipment or to provide general lighting for the entire workplace. Either way, it has its place. And it will most certainly stay that way for a very long […]
Industrial heaters have come a long way since they were first invented more than a century ago. Today they are some of the most states of the art heating systems on the market. They offer many benefits that have made them a top choice for businesses large and small. In this article, we will take […]
What exactly do air compressors do? Air compressors are mechanical devices that increase airflow by compressing or pressurising air into a larger space. In other words, they can be thought of as large, tank-like vehicles that suck air in and use it to fill a large space. Air compressors work in a very simple way: […]
An electrical control panel, in its simplest form, is simply a collection or combination of electrical devices that work together to control the various functions of industrial machinery and other equipment. This type of control panel is typically housed in a cabinet that protects the equipment or machinery. The cabinet is then connected to electrical […]
Industrial refrigeration systems often include air handling, condensing, drying, desiccating and chillers. Refrigeration is classified into two types; positive pressure and negative pressure refrigeration. Positive pressure refrigeration pumps circulate heated water through cooled lines while negative pressure pumps circulate cooled or warm air through cooled lines. In the UK, there are two main types of refrigeration including air-source and water-injected chillers. Air-source refrigeration requires an injection of a refrigerant into the lines to chill the air and remove heat. Water-injected chillers are similar but use water instead of air to chill the water.
It is important to understand how all of these basic refrigeration cycles work. Understanding how each basic refrigeration cycle works is crucial to improving production in any production facility. If a company’s energy supply cannot be adequately controlled, the company could experience a wide range of problems, including overheating and even blackouts. In some cases, the power grid may fail to deliver adequate amounts of energy over a wide geographic area, which could contribute to interruptions to the company’s production. Properly designed refrigeration systems that are properly maintained can help prevent many of these problems.
