The benefits of Thermax’s Absorption Chillers

The world is in a crisis, with fossil fuels running out and global warming looming upon us. In times like these, we need to find sustainable alternatives that can last longer and not threaten the environment as well. Solar energy makes for a perfect alternative that matches both of these criteria. While solar energy has become a common substitute in many industries, it has now also started taking over the heating industry. Modern heating systems are being combined with heating panels powered by the sun. This energy is then to for water heating or to provide additional heat into a heating circuit. Mentioned below are some of the benefits of why industrial heating manufacturers are moving towards solar energy for their systems: The Benefits of Solar Energy For Industrial Heaters Manufacturers One time investment, after which endless amount of energy, without any charge Negate any CO2 emissions while carrying out operations Save costs as the energy required to heat water and space ...

A steam boiler is integral for the effective functioning of most plants and factories that require heat treatment process . That being said, with proper maintenance, these boilers can go strong for about 15 years, depending on the material and make of the machine. However, even the best boilers wear out eventually. In such cases, if you don’t replace the boiler, the repairs will become more costly. Moreover, a worn-out boiler can become a liability when it comes to safety issues. Hence, if your boiler is giving out, we recommend investing in a new steam boiler. If you’re unsure if its time to replace the boiler or not, here are some signs you can follow to let you know sooner, rather than later: Sign 1: Your Boiler Is Older Than 15 Years On average, multiple studies show that a boiler generally stays strong for 15 years. After that point, regardless of how effectively you’ve maintained the machine, you will start facing a lot of issues. Not only do older machines require more mainte...

No argument can deny that an industrial heater is a very important piece of equipment in every facility or plant. So, if you’re looking for an industrial heating system manufacturer to buy new equipment, you are going to want to close on a company relatively quickly. After all, the more time you spend on researching and analyzing various companies, your facility spends operating at a lesser capacity.   That being said, you cannot rush a decision like choosing your industrial heating equipment as it can be an expensive investment. Hence, you want to carefully consider your options and examine various factors before narrowing it down to one manufacturer who can deliver the best equipment for your facility. To help you make this crucial decision quickly, yet efficiently, here is a list of crucial factors you should consider while choosing an industrial heaters manufacturers : The Efficiency of the Manufacturer’s Equipment Regardless if you’re upgrading your facility’s...

The most commonly used technology to convert biomass to heat is direct combustion. During the process of combustion, biomass is burnt in excess air to produce heat. In the first stage of combustion, vapours from biomass are produced which burn as flames. A charcoal residue is left behind, which is burnt in a forced air supply to provide more heat. Hot combustion gases are sometimes used directly for product drying but are typically passed through a heat exchanger to produce hot air, hot water or steam. The efficiency of a combustion system primarily depends on how strong contact is between oxygen in the air and biomass fuel. If carbon dioxide and water vapour are emitted during biomass combustion, it is considered to be an efficient one. But often smoke and alkaline ash particles are also emitted. It is necessary to minimize these  emissions owing to their environmental impacts. This has led to the design of environmentally acceptable biomass combustion systems. Biomass combust...

Heat process treatments are carried out to heat and cool metals to bring about changes in their physical and mechanical properties.  Heat treatment doesn’t alter the shape of metals. It augments the strength of materials and even enhances properties like formability, machining, etc.  Heat treatments are most commonly applied in metallurgy but also find use in manufacturing glass, aluminium, steel and other such materials. Extreme temperatures are used for heating and cooling of metals to achieve the desired result. Let us explore the different heat process treatments using in manufacturing processes: 1. Hardening Steel is heated at a suitable temperature during the process of hardening until all pearlite transforms into austenite, and is then quenched rapidly in water or oil. The temperature at which pearlite becomes austenite depends on the carbon content present in the steel. The time of heating should be increased to make sure that the core completely transfo...

A waste heat recovery system recovers heat with sources with high energy potential such as hot flue gases or steam from cooling towers. These systems help to create new and ultra-efficient renewable energy. Heat recovery systems tap into energy that already exists thereby maximising available energy and reducing the collective impact on the environment, including the heat that is lost to the environment every day. Steel plants typically use this heat treatment process  to increase the production of the plant with lower fuel demand. Waste heat from the exhaust gas of different processes or heat that comes from the exhaust stream of a conditioning unit is also used to preheat gas. Without a green technology like heat recovery, in an office for instance air would circulate all around, become stale and then get replaced by cold air that is heated by the ventilation system. A waste heat recovery system doesn’t replace the need for a boiler or other heating equipment, it does in...

Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...
