If your office routine is like mine, you probably type passwords into your devices all day to access essential websites and software. Sometimes you forget complex passwords and have to go through the hassle of resetting them. Financial websites may require monthly password updates.
Biomass boilers burn various fuels and come in different designs. Water vapor is produced when burning wood-based fuels, and the resulting condensate can be acidic and corrosive to metals like carbon steel and iron.
In last month’s column, we discussed the design and actuation of 3-way diverter valves. This month, we’ll look at several applications for these valves.
A western Wisconsin university chose a hydronic system with Uponor PP-RCT piping for their new sports complex to meet project scope, timelines, and space constraints.
There are many scenarios in which flow at some location within a hydronic system has to be directed along one of two possible flow paths. When a single valve is used to create this routing, it’s called a diverter valve. In part 1, we're digging into motorized 3-way diverter valves and actuator options.
Last month, we discussed how solid thermal energy storage, combined with an air-to-water heat pump and an electric boiler, provides a platform to leverage time-of-use electrical rates in ways that can benefit customers as well as the utility providing the electricity.
Keystone Air Power is a thriving Amish enterprise that runs a fully modern hardware store in Central Pennsylvania. The 52,000-square-foot building is constructed around a cutting-edge, off-grid mechanical and electrical system that demonstrates the Amish's knowledge of smart technology.
AHR in Chicago was hectic. With 1,875 exhibitors across 527,520 square feet, it was impossible to visit everyone in the 20 hours open to the public over three days. Preparing ahead of time with a schedule is vital. AHR makes it easy with their app, and we had ours in print with highlighted booths.
