Pumps domestic

Industrial and domestic fans, pumps, polishers, grinders, compressors and blowers etc. [Pg.27]

Phenolics. Phenol-formaldehyde (Bakelite) is one of the oldest synthetic materials available. It is a strong, hard, brittle material with good creep resistance and excellent electrical properties. Unfortunately the material is only available in dark colours and it is susceptible to attack by alkalis and oxidising agents. Typical applications are domestic electrical fittings, saucepan handles, fan blades, smoothing iron handles and pump parts. [Pg.17]

The selection of controls for space heating a building shows how the overall efficiency of the process can be improved. Whether or not it is cost effective to do this must be examined in detail. At its most basic, such a system might include one or more LPHW boilers, a single thermostat in the heated space controlling the circulating pump on/off, and domestic hot water from a calorifier. [Pg.279]

In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy reported the production of Mg in the form of an amalgam by electrolytic reduction of its oxide using a Hg cathode. In 1828, the Fr scientist A. Bussy fused Mg chloride with metallic K and became the first to produce free metallic Mg. Michael Faraday, in 1833, was the first to produce free metallic Mg by electrolysis, using Mg chloride. For many years, however, the metal remained a laboratory curiosity. In 1886, manuf of Mg was undertaken on a production scale in Ger, using electrolysis of fused Mg chloride. Until 1915, Ger remained the sole producer of Mg. However, when a scarcity of Mg arose in the USA as a result of the Brit blockade of Ger in 1915, and the price of Mg soared from 1.65 to 5.00 per lb, three producers initiated operations and thus started a Mg industry in the USA. Subsequently, additional companies attempted production of Mg, but by 1920 only two producers remained — The Dow Chemical Co (one of the original three producers) and. the American Magnesium Corn. In 1927. the latter ceased production, and Dow continued to be the sole domestic producer until 1941. The source of Mg chloride was brine pumped from deep wells. In 1941, Dow put a plant into operation at Freeport, Texas, obtaining Mg chloride from sea-... [Pg.21]

The main domestic use for PTFE is on non-stick utensils such as frying pans. Industrially, the polymer is used for gaskets, pump parts, and laboratory equipment. [Pg.16]

Pumping of 1 to 2 percent cyanide-laden water to the domestic seepage pond. [Pg.20]

Now, there has been a turn around in the status. Much of the low-cost domestic petroleum has already been pumped from the ground, and as oil wells have been drilled deeper and deeper the cost of oil concomitantly has gone higher and higher. [Pg.747]

Nearly all domestic appliances are using more and more electronics. Mechanical functions are replaced by electronic devices, mainly sensors and electromechanical actuators (such as pumps or electromotors) and microelectronic control systems. [Pg.211]

Only untreated water is collected and samples are taken from the point in the domestic plumbing that is closest to the well. Information on the pump, plumbing and well are also collected from the homeowner or from Ontario Ministry of Environment water well records database. [Pg.92]

DOMESTIC REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER SYSTEM AND AIR-CONDITIONING-HEAT PUMP SYSTEM... [Pg.316]

Refrigerators and heat pumps have the same energy flow diagram and have the same components. A domestic air-conditioning and heat pump system as shown in Fig. 6.22 can, therefore, be used as a heat pump in the winter as well as an air-conditioning unit in the summer. Notice that both the domestic air-conditioning and heat pump system share the same equipment. Thus, the investment in the heat pump can also be used for air-conditioning to provide year-round house comfort control. [Pg.318]

Figure 6.22 Domestic air-conditioning and heat pump system. [Pg.319]

In the air-conditioning mode, a domestic air-conditioning and heat-pump system as shown in Fig. 6.22 uses R-134a as the refrigerant. The refrigerant-saturated vapor is compressed from 140 to 700 kPa. Summer ambient air at 30°C is to be cooled down to 17°C. Find the compressor power required, heat removed from the ambient air in the heat exchanger, COP of the system, and mass rate of air flow per unit of mass rate of refrigerant flow. [Pg.319]

Domestic refrigerator-freezer and air-conditioning-heat pump systems share equipments to reduce cost. [Pg.349]

A Biocube off-gas treatment system installed at a domestic wastewater pumping facility in June 1995 cost 15,000. The pumping facility treats approximately 200 m of water per day (D13550C, pp. 1-4). At a sewage lift station in Miami, Florida, a Biocube unit was installed at a cost of 90,000 (D221465, p. 1). [Pg.352]

Thus, rather surprisingly, the key to reducing tropospheric ozone pollution is to minimize the release of hydrocarbon vapors from such sources as unburnt fuel in automobile exhausts, vaporization of fuel at service station pumps (modern pumps recover fuel vapors from automobile fuel tanks while refilling them), kitchen exhausts from fast-food restaurants and, as in Mexico City, leakages of liquefied petroleum gas (mainly butane) used for domestic heating and cooking.26... [Pg.164]
