It seems like the cost of everything from groceries to used cars continues to climb, and the HVAC industry hasn’t been spared from price increases either. It can be difficult to balance the cost of ...

Selecting the most economical tube for a new condenser, or the retrofit of an existing one, is much more complex than mere price shopping. Each material has unique performance characteristics that ...

On sultry summer afternoons, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems provide much-needed relief from the harsh heat and humidity. These systems, which often come with dehumidifiers, ...

To adjust the number of electrons in a material, the catalytic condenser is made up of a series of thin films arranged in a stack. The top is a 4-nanometer-thick layer of alumina (aluminum oxide), ...

There are literally miles and miles of tubing in every power plant that will operate very reliably for many years. However, much of that tubing will spend much of its life in the most demanding of ...

When manufacturers and partners around the world were grappling with pandemic-driven upheaval last year, nobody imagined that HVAC and other industries might arrive in 2021 to look back on the ...

Part 1 of this series discussed the importance of steam condensation in conventional power units and the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle plants. Condenser tube waterside ...
