As the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants ramps up over the next several years, technicians can expect to see a wider variety of refrigeration architectures that use lower-global warming potential (GWP) alternatives.
The high expense of decarbonizing mechanical rooms can be lessoned, says Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar
Video: Building managers are often asking contractors for three different bids: One all gas, another with electrical and resistive systems, and then option C: heat pumps.
I've found if your recommendation includes challenging the Big Mistake often seen with a demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) sequence for air-handing units (AHUs), you better be prepared for some unexpected arguments.
Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar, sat down with ES Magazine for a podcast interview discussing mechanical room decarbonization and retrofits. Here is a transcribed and edited excerpt of the conversation.
In 2020, Kite Pharma began constructing a new facility in Frederick, Maryland, designed to produce innovative cell therapy treatments for cancer patients.
Innovations in power distribution equipment are delivering solutions to keep the power on — always. Data-driven insights and alerts from switchgear and circuit breakers are expanding the tools available to evaluate and prevent an outage.
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, sustainable practices and environmental concerns have taken center stage. Industries are under increased pressure to minimize their carbon footprint while ensuring efficient operations.
Over the past two years, the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) committee has revised and updated the NBIC to ensure it continues to provide up-to-date requirements for the installation, inspection, repair, and alteration of pressure-retaining items and pressure relief devices.
Welding has become fairly common practice in pressure vessel fabrication and maintenance. From tube ends to plugs, welding can provide additional strength or sealing coverage if done correctly.
