‘Energy Saving’

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 EDTC Technology Gateway - take a look at EDTC to provide support for engineering ideas which says: "EDTC Technology Gateway will be providing support services at the Manufacturing Technology Scotland show, which is scheduled to take place on 11-12 November at the SECC in Glasgow.".

Take a look also at the news release from Boge Compressors, DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption , as well as LPC-395F fanless PC features removable storage from Stealth Computer Corporation, and BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations from BNS Nuclear Services.
