The Basic Hazards Of Oil Mist
Oil mist will be produced anytime there is rotating machinery in the metal working industry. Oil mist, which is sometimes called organic vapor is formed from a combination of fluids that are used to cool and lubricate rotating machinery. Lubricating oil creates a layer between the moving parts of machinery in attempts to ensure optimal machine function. During the process of cutting, polishing ...

Mass spectrometry helps us to develop materials with controlled chemical and physical properties using plasma nanotechnology
We are focused on the preparation of advanced organosilicon nanostructures with controlled physicochemical properties enabling the binding of organic material with inorganic material. An example is the association of a polymer with glass, two incompatible materials, which must be joined by a strong covalent bond. The recent development of high-performance composite materials is associated with ...

Avoid These 4 Common Fume Hood Mistakes
Fume hoods are very effective safety devices when used correctly. However, no matter how well a fume hood is designed, it won’t be effective unless proper laboratory safety measures are taken. Common mistakes when using a fume hood can be detrimental to the user’s personal safety and the safety of everyone else around them. Raising the sash too high A fume hood sash works as a blast shield to ...

The storage and application of Wantong dry ice Dry ice cleaning advantages
To store dry ice, you need to use a special storage box (dry ice incubator), but there will still be losses. A good storage box (dry ice incubator) can reduce the loss to 6‰, and the price will be relatively high. If there is no special box, ordinary foam boxes can be used for storage. In addition, try not to cut a whole piece of dry ice into small pieces or granules. Cut into small pieces ...

4 Enclosure Cooling Methods that Prevent Plant Shut-Down
In industrial facilities, electronic equipment is frequently used for motor control and most machines are PLC controlled. This use of electronic equipment has increased electrical enclosure heat loads because of the high heat dissipation characteristics of electronic equipment. At the same time, electronic equipment is susceptible to malfunction if allowed to get too hot, so it is widely accepted ...

Data Center Temperature Guidelines and Best Practices
To ensure that a Data Center is functioning properly, it is important that the room temperature is regulated. Excessive heat can put a Data Center at risk of failure. Failures lead to downtime, which leads to lost data and revenue. Based on a Gartner study, it is estimated that the cost of one hour of downtime can amount up to $336,000 per hour or $5,600 per minute. Maintaining the Data Center ...

Minimizing Your Plant`s Electrical Maintenance Issues with Proper Cabinet Cooling Systems
Your electrical equipment needs to be sheltered from harsh environments and extreme conditions. Electrical enclosures do a great job of keeping the electronics shielded from contaminants, such as dirt or moisture. But what about the heat produced by the equipment themselves? Choosing the right cabinet cooling system will help decrease unplanned maintenance by keeping the equipment in proper ...

Fight Covid-19 with Symbiosis Air Pollution Control Equipments
Among the manifold health risks of increasing air pollution; one of the most emerging one is the risk of contracting COVID-19. People living and working in high-pollution areas are more likely to have compromised respiratory, cardiac and other systems; and are therefore more vulnerable to COVID-19’s impacts. As particulate matter has the potential to act as carriers for contagion leading to ...

The Effect of Humidity in Data Centers
Humidity naturally surrounds every item on the planet. It is beneficial to humans; however, it can spell trouble for IT equipment. Uncontrolled humidity is a danger to electronic components, resulting in downtime and equipment failure. Water vapor in the air conducts away dangerous static electrical discharge, which protects IT equipment. Relying on precision cooling solutions to regulate the ...

How does Nafion Solve Humidity Challenges?
Nafion is a polymer that add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic purposes. ...

What Humidity Challenges do Engineers Face?
When designing medical equipment, engineers can often feel like Goldilocks when it comes to humidity: there’s too much or too little—and their challenge is to make it just right. Too Much Humidity is a Frequent Problem The air (or a gas) can only hold so much water vapor. Depending on external factors like temperature and pressure, water vapor can condense and create lot of ...

Medical: Desiccant humidity control and temperature regulation for biotherapy effectiveness testing - Case Study
The Challenge: A design engineering firm came to us to design a medical environmental control system (ECS) that could maintain less than 3% relative humidity (RH) and 75°F temperature ±2° for automated packaging of biotherapy reagents, some of which were highly sensitive to moisture and sensitive to heat. The desiccant humidity control and temperature regulation system would be ...
