- Company Profile:
A device used to compress air for mechanical or electrical power production, and in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to pressurize the refrigerant and enabling it to flow through the system.
Industry:Energy
A device used to collect, absorb, and transfer solar energy to a working fluid. Flat plate collectors are the most common type of collectors used for solar water or pool heating systems. In the case of a photovoltaics system, the solar collector could be crystalline silicon panels or thin-film roof shingles, for example.
Industry:Energy
A device used by energy auditors to pressurize a building to locate places of air leakage and energy loss.
Industry:Energy
A device that uses electronic components to regulate the voltage of fluorescent lamps.
Industry:Energy
A device that transfers heat by the continuous evaporation and condensation of an internal fluid.
Industry:Energy
A device that tracks the movement of the sun; used to orient solar concentrating systems.
Industry:Energy
A device that removes contaminants, by mechanical filtration, from the fresh air stream before the air enters the living space. Filters can be installed as part of a heating/cooling system through which air flows for the purpose of removing particulates before or after the air enters the mechanical components.
Industry:Energy
A device that removes airborne particles from breathable air. Negative ions are produced and give up their negative charge to the particles. These new negative particles are then attracted to the positive particles surrounding them. This accumulation process continues until the particles become heavy enough to fall to the ground.
Industry:Energy
A device that releases pressure within a radiator when the pressure inside exceeds the operating limits of the vent.
Industry:Energy
A device that reduces heat loss at night and during cloudy periods and heat gain during the day in warm weather. A movable insulator could be an insulative shade, shutter panel, or curtain.
