The use of R744 as liquid coolant in refrigeration systems

Ivan — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 11:23:39 +0000

R744 is a nomenclature used in industry to indicate carbon dioxide, a gas used predominantly as a liquid coolant in refrigeration systems, commercial and industrial. The use of R744 as a refrigerant has been completely re-evaluated in recent decades because of environmental issues such as global warming and the toxicity of some components.

We are reporting an interesting initiative promoted by the Italian company CRP Racing as regards the development of a new street motorbike that will use state-of-the-art technologies and materials. The motorbike will have a frame designed exclusively for the electric power, as well as an innovative powertrain

What is a CNC Machining Company?

Ivan — Wed, 26 May 2010 17:30:15 +0000

A CNC machining company is a company that provides CNC machining services. There are several CNC machining services that are provided in the market today. One of the most popular CNC machining services that are provided by a CNC machining company is the standard 3 axis CNC machining. The standard 3 axis CNC machining has the ability to transform 3D designs into products that you can use on a daily basis. CAD designs like chairs, tables, and drawers are ideal for a standard 3 axis CNC machining service. A CNC machining company that provides this kind of service is everywhere. It is very basic and standard. Sometimes, as a hobbyist, you can transform these 3D designs right in your own garage or backyard.

2 stroke engines in racing motorcycles

Ivan — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 21:45:45 +0000

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

Ivan — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:28:03 +0000

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. Liquid level Sensors that are used for continuous monitoring depend on pressure, ultrasound or vibration, or a combination of any of these methods.

Systems and controllers in industrial refrigeration

Ivan — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:16:39 +0000

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...

Composite materials in automotive engineering

Ivan — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:33:12 +0000

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...
