AC Leak Guide: Stay Cool by Understanding & Addressing Leaks

Air conditioners employ intricately coiled pipes ferrying pressurized refrigerants that are essential for heat transfer dynamics cooling your interior spaces. But over years of demanding seasonal use across hot zones, leaks eventually emerge. Left unchecked, even minor refrigerant drips quickly cascade into major repairs, skyrocketing bills and disrupted comfort. The Causes of Refrigerant Leaks in […] The post AC Leak Guide: Stay Cool by Understanding & Addressing Leaks first appeared on CCR-Mag.com.

Sustainable Sealants Reduce Environmental Impact in Design

Specialty chemicals play a crucial role in the construction industry. Sealants, in particular, allow builders to join materials together while preventing leakage of air, moisture, dust, noise, and heat transfer. Traditional sealants rely heavily on chemicals that deplete natural resources and damage the environment. Sustainable sealants offer an eco-friendly alternative that reduces the carbon footprint […] The post Sustainable Sealants Reduce Environmental Impact in Design first appeared on CCR-Mag.com.

Fire-Rated Glass Market Size is projected to reach USD 11.95 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.2%: Straits Research

Tests on fire resistance have demonstrated that a specific kind of glass, known as fire-resistant glass provides long-lasting fire protection. Fire-resistant glass products are used to stop fire and smoke because they can stop radiant and conduction heat transfer. They also provide better impact, thermal, and acoustic performance. Its efficacy can be ascertained by assessing how well […] The post Fire-Rated Glass Market Size is projected to reach USD 11.95 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.2%: Straits Research first appeared on CCR-Mag.com.

The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Conduction and the Heat Equation, 05042022

Continuing the heat transfer series, this video looks at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to conduction. But it can only be applied if the temperature distribution within the body is known. To determine the temperature distribution, the heat equation needs to be solved

The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Thermal Radiation, 30112021

This video looks at thermal radiation, one of the three modes of heat transfer along with conduction and convection. It starts by covering electromagnetic waves, the Stefan-Boltzmann law, black bodies and emissive power. It then talks about emissivity, absorptivity, transmissivity and reflectivity, as well as views factors, all key concepts for being able to calcualate the radiative heat transfer between surfaces

Just have a Think - Stirling Heat Engine to Stirling Heat Pump : How is it done? 11042021

Stirling engines have been around since the nineteenth century. They are an elegantly simple way of generating power using temperature differentials, but nobody ever found a way to make them efficient enough for wide scale use. Now a UK company has developed a heat pump system based on the principles of the Stirling Engine, but with some ingenious adaptations, using no HFC refrigeration gases and with a 30% saving in energy costs compared to existing systems

What is the most efficient method for determining the optimal design of a heat exchanger to minimize thermal losses while maximizing heat transfer?
