The November 2023 issue of PM Engineer features the 2023 Mechanical Engineer of the Year, reduced emission design of gas boilers for schools, hydronic pool heating, and much more!
Jonathan Cristino's knowledge and experience in new heat pump technologies, and his willingness to explore sustainable engineering designs and practices has earned him the distinction of being named PM Engineer’s 2023 Mechanical Engineer of the Year.
The project timeline, impacts of the pandemic and the unique requirements of the job made the work at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort more complicated than most pool heating applications.
The lavish resort of Nemacolin Woodlands has grown to include a private airport, golf course, ski resort, zoo and accommodations ranging from single-room lodging to estates. Luxury at this level in the rolling countryside of the Appalachian Mountains?
Uponor North America celebrated the grand opening of its newly constructed Uponor Experience Center located at its regional headquarters in Apple Valley, Minnesota in September.
While some cities have banned or attempted to ban gas-fired boilers in new buildings, other areas favor hybrid electric/gas or high efficiency gas systems as sustainable solutions.
I do not fully agree with the statement about the quality decline in the plumbing industry. A couple of bad installations do not define the entire plumbing contractor industry. How do we fix it?
How are you polishing your technical skills? How are you taking those next steps in your career? How are you positioning yourself for new opportunities? For me, it’s in-person, in the office.
In my last column, I focused on talking about how engineered plumbing systems were at a crossroads. This month, I would like to discuss some of the emerging trends in plumbing science.
Have you heard of assistive tables? Over the past few years, this plumbing product has been a hot topic in proposed legislation, code development, and standard development.
The goal is to keep the system COP as high a possible as the operating conditions of the heat pump change. The logic behind maximum COP tracking is to continually look for an earth loop flow rate that improves the system COP.
EVAPCO’s eco-Air Series of dry and adiabatic coolers include flat, V-style and double stack dry coolers available with optional spray or adiabatic pad pre-cooling systems.
Bell & Gossett’s newest TECHNOFORCE e-MTV Packaged System offers standout efficiency from installation to operation, all while delivering overall lower cost.
