Engineering Laboratory Switches To A Reliable Compressed Air Supplier
After becoming frustrated with unreliable air compressors, poor support, and low-quality compressed air, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories decided to rely on Rogers for all their compressed air needs.
Vacuum Receivers: Full of Vacuum or Full of Myth?
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the uses for receiver tanks for positive pressure systems where the pressure inside the system is greater than atmospheric pressure, and the uses, or lack thereof of, receiver tanks in vacuum systems where the system pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.
In the Spirit of Improvement: Nation's Oldest Distiller Takes Practical Approach to Compressed Air System Upgrade
Laird & Company has been pioneering and perfecting Applejack brandy for 325 years. Laird & Company produces eight expressions of their iconic apple distillate, as well as a ready-to drink cocktail. In particular, their internationally known “Applejack” has earned the reputation as a quality product produced by a quality company using quality equipment to do so. In the interest of supporting facility uptime and Laird & Company’s personnel productivity, it was time for an upgrade.
Vacuum Thermodynamics in Our Freeze-Dried Universe: A Christmas Study
Freeze dry systems are some of the more thermodynamically active vacuum applications around, with operating pressure requirements firmly categorized in the “medium vacuum” realm. The lessons learned from the principles and subsystems in play can and should be applied broadly; to your own industrial vacuum system whether freeze-drying is your game or not; and, just maybe, in appreciation of the happenstance of our own humanity.
