Variable frequency drives (VFDs), also known as variable speed drives (VSDs), are used to modulate the speed of motors in various applications, from hydronic water pumping to VAV fan units to vacuum ...

The Automatic Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) provides energy-saving, on-line condenser tube cleaning for water-cooled chiller applications. The system periodically injects sponge balls into the condenser ...

Section 316(b) of the EPA Clean Water Act requires that the location, design, construction and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse ...

Air-cooled condenser (ACC) systems have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional water-cooled solutions in power plants, particularly in regions where water scarcity or environmental concerns ...

The South Texas Project (STP) Nuclear Power Plant in Wadsworth, Texas, was put into operation in 1988. The plant has two condenser units, acting as heat exchangers to condense the steam back into a ...

Summer peaks are still with us, and every unit on your system must be prepared to operate at a moment’s notice. Spot power prices are so high that you expect phone calls asking for a few more ...

Access to clean water is a huge issue across the globe. Even in areas with water resources, a lack of infrastructure or reliable energy means purifying that water is sometimes extremely difficult.

Microbial inhibition, as part of a robust cooling water treatment program, presents a special challenge because of the variability in makeup water sources, plant processes, and discharge permits.
