Plant managers seeking to achieve across-the-board improvements in their process operations should look no further than their fired assets.

Industrial fired heaters are known to be the oldest and most common industrial process devices. Many manufacturing processes (if not all of them) involve heat exchange in some way or another, and the use of fired heaters is a way to provide such energy exchange. 

One characteristic common to many electric utility companies is the mix of sizes and technologies at the utility’s various plants. This means efforts to improve performance and reduce costs can vary from plant to plant.

Most industrial fan/blower companies offer fan selection software. Before trying to use fan selection software, first learn the company's products and learn the software. Then, it is time to understand the five phases of fan selection using fan selection software.

Waiting on fan manufacturers to get quotes back to you can be stressful. Frequently, you do not have the time — days or even hours — to wait for a quote. Fan buyers have another option though: Most industrial fan/blower companies offer fan selection software, available via the Internet on company websites, or offered as a program to be installed on your computer.

1. Installed components are inherently inefficient at the normal operating conditions.

The system efficiency, as defined by the power transfer in and out of the example diagram in the equations.

Pumps of all sizes are used throughout the process industries to transfer a range of fluids. Along with proper pump selection and installation to address a particular application, it is important to determine what kind of information is needed to protect the pump and help it operate more efficiently.
