‘Static Electricity’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption from Boge Compressors, which we summarised at the time by saying "Boge has brought out a range of energy-saving refrigerant dryers. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat from ESI Group: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from WEG Electric Motors - take a look at WEG motors drive Brazilian theme-park attractions which says: "WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are allowing the safe operation of equipment at the Beto Carrero World theme park, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from NEi Software, NEi adds explicit dynamics to simulation software, as well as Ingersoll Rand introduces desiccant dryers from Ingersoll-Rand European Sales, and Fastpack drives cut energy use in fans and pumps from Micromech.
