Comfort, Health, and Sustainability: The Importance of HVAC/R Measuring Instruments for Pressure, Temperature, and Airflow
Patrick McGrath | Know-how, TemperatureWith global warming and strained electrical grids, optimized performance is more important than ever in air conditioning. Measuring instruments help HVAC/R systems operate more efficiently and sustainably. Modern air conditioning has fundamentally improved …
A Brief History and Overview of Modern Air Conditioning
Patrick McGrath | Applications, Know-howThroughout history, certain inventions have greatly improved people’s quality of life. Among those is air conditioning. Heating has never been much of a problem: humans figured out fire and hearths about 2 million years ago, which allowed them to migrate to …
Reasons for Choosing a Liquid-Filled Industrial Pressure Gauge
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureLiquid-filled gauges surpass dry gauges for two main reasons: performance and extended service life. Pressure gauges that are filled with a liquid, usually glycerin or silicone oil, perform better in less-than-ideal conditions. They are also more economical in the long …
Dampened Movement Industrial Instrumentation: Pressure Gauges and Bimetal Thermometers
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, Pressure, TemperatureIn applications with vibration and pulsation, either a liquid-filled case or dampened movement industrial instrumentation will minimize pointer oscillation. The better choice depends on the application and, to a certain extent, a user’s risk tolerance for leaks. …
