For quantum technologies to fulfil their promise, the systems that support them need to shrink. Laurence Coles explains how advances in additive manufacturing are bringing miniaturization within reach ...

In a power plant, the primary use of vacuum systems is to remove air and other noncondensable gases from the shell side of the condenser in order to maintain design heat transfer and thus design ...

The high-tech die casting industry relies on old-school steel-wool pad filters for vacuum systems that lead to unnecessary and long machine downtimes and high cold and warm scrap ratios. Dexwet ...

Millimeter wave vacuum tubes, including ones like the traveling wave tube (TWT) depicted here, amplify signals by exchanging kinetic energy in the electron beam (shown as a blue line) with ...

Engineers faced for the first time with operating a motor in a vacuum are often surprised at some of the potential problems. Outgassing, contamination, and cooling are all areas of concern. And ...

From applied physicists working on a next-generation radio telescope to specialist designers of industrial laser-welding systems, a suite of powerful in-house modelling tools is helping Edwards to ...

Refinery vacuum distillation units (VDUs) use ejector systems to establish and maintain distillation-column pressure for capturing valuable crude fractions and reducing vacuum residuum. Reliable ...

Heavy duty industrial vacuum cleaners can eliminate the need to enter confined spaces for cleaning, reducing hazards and costs in a variety of ways. Whether it’s eliminating the need to enter a permit ...
