Role of Demineralizers
Dissolved impurities and foreign particles entrained in power plant fluid systems generate corrosion problems and decrease the heat...

pH of a solution is measured in a scale ranging from 0 to 14. Its value is directly related to the ratio of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution (H+) to...
How diesel engines operate
The energy conversion actually takes place in two steps. First, the fuel reacts chemically (i.e. burns) and releases energy in the...
How hydraulic systems work
The pump boosts up the oil pressure. Most hydraulic systems are equipped with a mechanism for preventing overpressure. One such...
This way, any emergency personnel (e.g. the fire brigade) that may be called in case of an accident can easily determine protective measures to be taken at the...
Tests and standards for flash point measurement
In order to measure flash point, we need to have an ignition source in the vicinity of vapors evolving from a...
Cooling towers help reduce the thermal pollution of the natural water heat sinks, since hot water is not dumped at rivers, lakes or other water reservoirs. Use...
Valve actuators accepts energy from different sources such as pneumatic or electric signal and converts it to mechanical motion. Thus actuators enables valves...
They are installed upstream power plant stack, usually between DeNOx system (a system whose purpose is to reduce NOx emissions) and flue gas desulphurisation...
Welding
Welding is basically the mixing of a base metal with filler metal. Filler material is melted at high temperature through a consumable electrode and...
This is because at higher humidity levels, any entrapped water can absorb oxygen: as this water is stagnant (i.e. not moving), pitting corrosion can develop...
