A Comprehensive Guide to Cooling Tower Terminology

A cooling tower is a device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a coolant stream, usually a water stream, to a lower temperature. Cooling towers are widely used in industrial processes that require heat removal, such as power generation, refrigeration, air conditioning,

Electrostatic Precipitator: What is it And How Does it Work?

The flue gases produced due to the combustion of solid pulverized fuel in the furnace contain plenty of dust particles. When a chimney releases these flue gases in the atmosphere without filtering these dust particles, the atmosphere may get polluted. Hence, these dust particles need to be removed f
