This process requires clean, oil-free air to maintain product integrity and avoid contamination. Cooling air for clinker: ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

Recently, we discussed the prospect of using compressed air as a form of energy storage. Unfortunately, it's hard to get much in the way of details on how the process actually works; there's only a ...

Faced with soaring energy prices, researchers and developers worldwide are giving compressed air energy storage (CAES)—a technology almost 50 years old—a dusting, a spit shine, and a new life. In ...

Turbophase enables combustion turbine owners and power grids to increase flexibility, power, and efficiency, which is critical at a time when dispatch of renewable energy is growing. Combustion ...

The trunnion ball valve design maintains a reliable seal under high differential pressure without excessive torque, ensuring ...

Proper air filtration is critical to the overall performance and reliability of gas turbines. Fuel costs approach 80 percent of the life cycle cost of electricity. Small gains in efficiency can mean ...
