The four-zone drying system will provide electrically heated convection air and will allow the battery company to scale up operations.

Many industrial processes produce or use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). VOCs and HAPs are hydrocarbons — necessary components for industries such as printing, painting or coating. 

When I started my junior year of engineering school in the mid ’80s, the lease on the apartment I rented did not start until October. The university was 200 miles from where I grew up, but it just happened that my dad was working at that time in the same city. 

Evaporative cooling has been around for centuries. Also called adiabatic cooling (particularly in Europe), evaporative cooling is the earliest form of air-side cooling known to man. In spite of that, it also is probably the least understood — and sometimes maligned — solution to cooling.

Paints and coatings provide an essential barrier to protect industrial equipment from corrosive environments and extend their safe operating life.
