When an important calculation for a new controls solution was overlooked, the result threatened to keep a new aging tank for a brewery offline. Substituting solenoid valves with built-in power management brought the equipment online.
Not many Americans like warm beer — except, of course, process cooling engineers who work for breweries. They know that maintaining elevated temperatures within a metal tank in the brewhouse is critical throughout much of the fermentation process.
Power and glass are two industries among many where centrifugal fans provide the critical pressures and airflow required for proper process cooling. In any process cooling application where centrifugal fans provide the essential flow and pressure ingredients, proper selection is critical.
Process cooling is the function of removing heat in order to control or maintain appropriate temperature levels. Almost every manufacturing process produces a certain amount of excess heat due to friction or process heating.
As water resources become increasingly stressed by drought and intensifying demand from competing uses, industries that use significant quantities of water will face greater pressure to adopt water-efficiency strategies that can decrease fresh-water withdrawals.
Used after process heating operations, temporary cooling solutions such as cooling towers, chillers and air conditioners provide significant benefits. They allow petrochemical and refining companies to avoid project delays and improve their balance sheet by avoiding high cost capital expenditure (CAPEX) commitments on short- to mid-term duration needs.
When it comes to industrial process heating and cooling systems, a number of plants are running with systems that rely on a fixed-speed centrifugal pump to circulate the medium and a control valve to throttle the flow to a required rate.
A plume abatement system that uses recycling of condensed steam will be installed at a coal liquefaction process facility to be built by Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group.
