Undoubtedly, the biggest challenge of deep level mining is providing a safe environment for miners. Today, gold and platinum mines descend as far as 5km below surface in some cases. In this extreme environment, virgin rock temperatures often exceed 60°C, requiring sophisticated cooling methods and equipment to reduce temperatures to safe levels for miners to work in. Due to the extreme ...
As the infrastructure of VA facilities ages and facilities/utilities managers strive to keep their utilities costs under control, many facilities managers must either upgrade existing equipment or replace older equipment to meet efficiency mandates or cost targets. Sierra’s Big-3 iSeries flow energy measurement flow meters makes this easy by delivering a precision “flow ...
Rotork valve actuators are supporting advanced environmental protection technologies at the Combined Cooling, Heating and Power Plant (CCHP) constructed to serve the spectacular new Disney Resort in Shanghai. As a key infrastructure project for the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone, the CCHP is a grid-tied, gas-fired power plant which co-generates cooling and heating via engine ...
In luxury hotels, refrigeration becomes increasingly sustainable thanks to CO2: on Dolomites heart, air conditioning part was conceived to be sustainable by using a very modern 150 kW Chiller, operating on carbon dioxide. In fact, the use of CO2, combined with the production of energy with hydroelectric systems, ensures that the entire production cycle of chilled water (air conditioning ...
Dana Rubinstein reports in Politico that the Durst Organization is abandoning a $43 million plan for an energy-independent development on the Astoria waterfront, citing the collapse of a controversial tax incentive program as the reason.
