Unit Heaters That Perform Under Pressure

When it comes to long life under tough industrial conditions, Armstrong unit heaters stand the test. Even in the most severe environments where coil leaks and corrosion are costly, Armstrong coils maintain high efficiency and output. The reason is that components like motors, bearings, tubes, enclosures and fins are heavy-duty to ensure lasting performance. Armstrong’s […]

Test Your Knowledge: Heat Transfer

Which of the following shows the correct heat transfer? A. B. c. The Answer: A Two bodies brought in thermal contact will change their temperature until they are at the same temperature. In the process of reaching thermal equilibrium, heat is transferred from one body to the other. Suppose we have a system of interest […]

Steam Tip 9: Minimize Boiler Blowdown

Minimizing your blowdown rate can substantially reduce energy losses, as the temperature of the blown-down liquid is the same as that of the steam generated in the boiler. Minimizing blowdown will also reduce makeup water and chemical treatment costs. As water evaporates in the boiler steam drum, solids present in the feedwater are left behind. […]
