Oil level controls for Parallel Compressor Systems
In the whole of the refrigeration system, a parallel compressor system is the most complex and important electromechanical device.
It is the one that help in delivering the cooling system to the foodstuffs on all the utilities and related processing chambers in the refrigeration system.
This applies in both the domestic and industrial refrigeration systems. The most common types of parallel compressor in rack systems are the piston compressor rack and screw compressor racks.
For the piston compressor rack, it can either be assembled to fit a domestic setting or an industrial plant.
2 stroke engines in racing motorcycles
Although two stroke engines have long since been updated with four stroke racing bike engines, two stroke engines provide a lightweight and suitable solution for racing bikes, motocross and dirt bikes.
Earlier on, the two stroke engines in racing bikes were quite popular, but they have since then have been replaced with the four stroke version of the engine.
The two stroke engine was a much simpler design, therefore provided a low cost solution for racing teams.
The Importance of Liquid Level Sensors in Industrial Refrigeration Systems
When we talk of liquid level sensors, we’re usually referring to tiny systems that are used to detect levels of liquids (like in the fuel tanks of automobiles).
These sensors are also used to detect interfaces between liquids like oil and water or between liquids and solids.
They can sense the level of liquids either continuously or at certain points following which certain alarms are triggered, like we see the red or yellow low-fuel light on the fuel gauge of a car.
Systems and controllers in industrial refrigeration
Refrigeration, the process of maintaining an enclosed space at a temperature lower than the surroundings, has wide application in various industries like food processing, power plants, hospitals, pharmaceuticals etc. as well as for commercial use like supermarkets etc. The 3 main methods of achieving refrigeration are cyclic, non cyclic and thermo electric, out of which cyclic method is the most common.
The major components of cyclic refrigeration systems are compressor, condenser, evaporator and expansion valve that correspond to compression, condensation, evaporation and expansion part of the thermodynamic cycle respectively.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant like Freon, ammonia, CO2 etc. and converts it from saturated state to superheated state. The compressors used in industrial refrigeration systems are of various types, centrifugal, reciprocating, screw, vane etc.
Composite materials in automotive engineering
The use of composite materials for the manufacturing of racing cars was a significant milestone of achievement in the automotive industry, as the earliest racing cars were made mostly with a single aluminum chassis, which was prone to major fractures. In the late 1980s, the use of advanced composite material in the racing industry caused a revolution of sorts in the world of automobile engineering. Such composites provided an apt solution for racing car chassis, as these were not only lightweight, but also sturdy and robust, offering the driver much more security, if the car were to crash.
Slowly and steadily, of such materials were being used in production sports cars as well because they increasingly became cost effective, and today; in the 21st century, the use of composite materials in a car/automotive manufacturing is more or less the norm.
The earliest composite materials included fiberglass, developed in the 1940s; however, this material did not make its way through to the automotive industry at that point of time, due to limitations in the then automotive engineering techniques. Today, fiberglass is used extensively for just about everything, including surfboards, building panels, boat hulls, and of course a car chassis.
