Cooling system water treatment eliminates heat from equipment or processes. Heated water is released at an increased temperature into the receiving body and can be cooled & reused. You must have known how the major role cooling tower plays in the proper functioning of HVAC systems or other systems. Read this blog to know a lot more about cooling tower water treatment. What are cooling towers? Cooling towers cool the water which absorbs heat from the condenser and compressor of the chiller. These towers are revealed to the environment and use the evaporative cooling concept. Cooling towers eliminate the waste heat in the atmosphere via cooling the coolant system.  Cooling system water treatment uses selected filtration procedures along with chemical products to discard toxic and otherwise damaging impurities from the cooling tower system. Cooling towers lower the water temperature so that leftover heat can not escape via evaporation.  The contaminants can cause corrosion a...

X-ray inspection – large baggage scanners meet the coexistent security requirements. It is really important to perform the security check of cargo and baggage. The world is increasingly getting more concerned about security and safety. There is an increase in situations that need a high-security level with x-ray machines . For instance, security screening at the airport can be taken into account. Cargo is transported via water or air and its inspection is crucial. Non-destructive x-ray can be utilized for inspecting objects kept internally. It is an indispensable technology in the modern-day. Dutco Tennant LLC brings a wide range of x-ray baggage scanner machines to you. these have been designed for completely non-destructive inline x-ray inspection. It includes arrays of photodiode and x-ray-based line scan camera. How are these used? These are used in many applications. They range from mail screening, baggage inspection to inspection of container and cargo. Baggage scanning machines ...

Flap valves are used in various applications for preventing flooding caused by sewage or stormwater backflow. Backflow is usually caused by the thaw, flood, and intense rain. The flap valves are efficient in preventing backflow through draining systems, sewers etc into the commercial and residential places. You can install flap valves for wastewater plants too. Flap valves are placed at the horizontal sewage pipe ends entering cesspits, collection wells or drainage pipes that lead to soakaways or rivers. Read this blog to know more about flap valves. What are flap valves? Flap valves are a kind of non-return valve which helps in preventing the liquid from returning up to the culvert or discharge pipe. Flap valves allow fluid or gas to flow only in one direction by preventing backflow. Flap valves permit water to flow out preventing debris like leaves, sticks and other things from getting back in. The valves open under pressure and close when the outfall fluid's pressure gets relie...

Transformer testing is performed to maintain the performance and specifications of the transformer. A transformer is considered to be a vital part of electrical generation and distribution. If the transformer does not work properly, it may affect the complete generation or distribution system. So it is important to ensure that routine transformer testing and maintenance are needed with the help of good quality transformer testing equipment .   Why is transformer testing necessary?   The requirement for transformer testing is to keep a check on the functioning of the transformer and reduce the chances of failure. Every electrical equipment requires maintenance from some failures. Transformer failures may occur due to mechanical, thermal, and electrical factors. Even insulation breakdown can cause transformer failure. Proper transformer testing can prevent failures of electrical equipment to a huge extent. For that, you may need transformer testing equipment like transfo...

  Flow measurement is the quantification of the fluid's movement. Flow measurement is one of the oldest recorded works in the instrumentation field. Flow measurements hold great importance in the industrial sector. Applications of flow measurement also expand to day to day measurements processes such as water service, gas stations etc. Now comes how to measure the flow? With the help of a proper flow instrument , you can measure the fluid flow in your system. The turbine flow meter is one of the major flow meters. What is a flow meter? The flow meter is a flow rate measuring instrument for determining linear/ non-linear volumetric and mass flow of gas or liquid. Flow meters improve accuracy along with the resolution of the fluid measure. Flow meters efficiently measure a fluid's volume, mass or speed. What is a turbine flow meter? The turbine flow meter is a fluid volume sensing instrument. When liquids or gasses pass via the turbine housing, it allows the turbine blades to rot...

It is vital to ensure wastewater is clean enough to get discharged. It is a complex task. The correct solution plays an integral role. Grits are a huge problem for the wastewater plant. They can cause damage and increase maintenance costs throughout the treatment procedures. Grit removal from wastewater stands strong. Read this article to know more about grit removal.   What is grit removal?   Grit particles are smaller particles which are even tinier than the screen aperture. When they pass through, can cause several abrasive issues on the pumps, pipes and sludge handling tools. Grit particles settle down in the channels or sludge digestors cand can cause maintenance issues. So a grit removal system is needed for the sewage treatment plants.   You can remove grit by the differential sedimentation process where the flow velocity is controlled. It let the grits settle. Grit and many other particles can be well-separated through circular or longitudinal grit re...

  Bridge decks have support through piers which are prone to damage because of vehicle movement and heat expansion. The main function of bridge bearings is - to offer a strong connection for controlling interactions of movements and loading between the structural parts (normally between the substructures and superstructures). Bride bearings give a uniform transfer of loads from the beams to the substructures. Both bridge bearings and expansion joints play chief roles in bridge construction.   What are bridge bearings and their function?   Bridge bearings carry movement/loads in both horizontal and vertical directions from the superstructure of brides. They help in conveying the loads to abutments and bridge piers. Loads can be dead load or live load in vertical direction/earthquake loads or wind load in horizontal directions. Bridge bearings and expansion joints are an important component of any bridge providing a resting surface. The main purpose of using such...

Valves are devices that control or direct and regulate the flow of fluids such as liquids, gases, slurries, fluidized solids etc by partially obstructing or closing several passageways. One of the vital and most common valves that are used in varied industries is - Gate valve. There are different types of gate valves used for different applications. One of them is Sewage gate valves . These valves are majorly used for wastewater. What are gate valves? Gate valves are known as sluice valves. They open by lifting the rectangular or round gate/ wedge. from the fluid's path. The main feature of gate valves is the sealing surface between the seats and the gates which are planar. This makes gate valves ideal to be used when minimum restriction and straight-line fluid flow are required. Gate valves are specially designed for serving as isolation valves. Gate valves help in controlling the fluid flow through pipes. These valves are installed to stop or start the water flow. They are ...

  What is an x-ray baggage scanner machine? The X-ray baggage scanner machines are vital for security systems. These machines rely on X-rays to watch through the surface of the luggage in order to get a precise image of the things inside. The security officers take help from an x-ray baggage scanning machine to calculate the density of the carrying object that gives them every bit of information they require to locate contrabands. Why are these machines so important?  The x-ray baggage scanner machines are important in finding out the hidden or smuggling contrabands along with dangerous weapons, explosives, illegal items, narcotics etc. When any baggage enters into the lead-lined curtains, items absorb a few x rays of energy. The main aim of security screenings with the help of these machines is to avoid harmful or dangerous goods from going into the aircraft or any other place. In the airports, every passenger needs to walk by the metal detectors and baggage is scanned with ...
