‘Energy Consumption’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Parker team to develop wind-energy technology from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Parker Hannifin has expanded its range of products, systems and customer services in the power sector. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from Autoclave Engineers: "Autoclave Engineers has designed a group of air-driven, positive-displacement, high-pressure liquid pumps for service with oil, water and chemicals. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK - take a look at Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging which says: "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".

Take a look also at the news release from EDTC Technology Gateway, EDTC to provide support for engineering ideas, as well as DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption from Boge Compressors, and LPC-395F fanless PC features removable storage from Stealth Computer Corporation.
