Construction de la pompe (Partie 1)

In 1689 the physicist Denis Papin invented the centrifugal pump and today this kind of pump is the most used around the world. The centrifugal pump is built on a simple principle: Liquid is led to the impeller hub and by means of the centrifugal force it is flung towards the periphery of the impellers. The construction is fairly inexpensive, robust and simple and its high speed makes it possible to connect the pump directly to an asynchronous motor.

Qu'est-ce que la corrosion ?

Corrosion is usually referred to as the degradation of the metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment, see figure 1. When considered broadly, corrosion may be looked upon as the tendency of the metal to revert to its natural state similar to the oxide from which it was originally melted. Only precious metals, such as gold and platinum are found in nature in their metallic state. – Types of corrosion – Uniform corrosion – Pitting corrosion – Crevice corrosion – Intergranular corrosion – Selective corrosion – Erosion corrosion – Cavitation corrosion – Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) – Corrosion fatigue – Galvanic corrosion

Expansion Valves Selection

The expansion valve regulates the amount of compressed liquid refrigerant moving into the evaporator. It removes pressure from the liquid refrigerant to allow expansion or change of state from a liquid to a gas in the evaporator. In order to properly select Expansion Valves one should pay attention to the items that we mention in this post.

Tube à eau contre les chaudières à tube d'incendie

Les chaudières à tubes d'eau et les chaudières à tubes de fumée sont deux types différents de chaudières à vapeur couramment utilisées dans les applications industrielles et commerciales. Les deux types de chaudières utilisent un système de tubes pour générer de la vapeur, mais elles diffèrent par la manière dont les tubes sont disposés et par la manière dont les gaz chauds du brûleur passent à travers les tubes.

Water Hammer (Part1)

Under unfavorable circumstances, damage due to water hammer may occur in pipelines measuring more than one hundred meters and conveying only several tenths of a liter per second. But even very short, unsupported pipelines in pumping stations can be damaged by resonant vibrations if they are not properly anchored. By contrast, the phenomenon is not very common in building services systems, e.g. in heating and drinking water supply pipelines, which typically are short in length and have a small cross-section.

Réfrigération à tube capillaire

A refrigeration capillary tube is a small, narrow tube that is used in refrigeration systems to control the flow of refrigerant. It is typically made of copper or other highly conductive metal, and is used in conjunction with a compressor, evaporator, and condenser to transfer heat from one location to another. The capillary tube is placed between the evaporator and the compressor in the refrigeration system, and it acts as a metering device to control the flow of refrigerant.

Formules de réfrigération et calculs

These formulas are commonly used in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning to calculate various performance parameters of a refrigeration system such as compression work, compression power, coefficient of performance, net refrigeration effect, capacity, compressor displacement, heat of compression, volumetric efficiency, and compression ratio. These formulas are based on the thermodynamics principles and are generally used to evaluate the performance of the refrigeration system and to optimize its design.

Le coefficient de vitesse (CV)

Cv, or coefficient of velocity, is a measure of the flow capacity of a valve. It represents the number of gallons per minute (GPM) of water at 60°F that will flow through a valve with a one-inch opening at a pressure drop of one pound per square inch (PSI). Cv can be calculated using various formulas, such as the one based on water at 60F and one that takes into account the specific gravity of the fluid. Cv is a theoretical value and it may vary depending on the actual conditions of the valve. When selecting a valve for a specific application, it is important to consider the Cv in relation to the flow rate and pressure drop requirements of the system, as well as other factors such as ease of maintenance, cost, and safety.

Pipe Insulation Guideline

Pipe insulation is crucial for maintaining energy efficiency, temperature control, condensation control, noise reduction, and safety. ASHRAE provides specific thickness recommendations for different pipe sizes and temperature ranges in its standard 90.1. When selecting pipe insulation based on ASHRAE standards, it’s important to consider the temperature, pipe size, environmental considerations, fire resistance, and energy efficiency.
