Conversion of pressure units
Sabine Mai | Know-howThe common units for the measurement parameter pressure are bar, psi, kg/cm², inHg and MPa, for example. In most cases, one unit has become established in a particular country or region. As a result, it often happens that one must convert a given pressure value into …
Electronic Pressure Measurement – Basics, applications and instrument selection
Sabine Mai | Know-howIn the renowned book series “Die Bibliothek der Technik” (library of technology) a volume about electronic pressure measurement was released with the technical support of WIKA. A short statement on their book by the authors: “Our customers and colleagues at …
More efficient heating with WIKA sensors and heat pumps
Sabine Mai | GeneralThe working principle of a heat pump is basically identical to that of an everyday appliance known to all of us: the refrigerator. However, while the refrigerator removes heat from its interior and gives it off to the environment, the heat pump removes heat from the …
Refrigeration systems with higher energy efficiency through accurate pressure control
Sabine Mai | PressureDue to the worldwide rising energy costs, the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration systems becomes a must. According to estimates, more than 90% of the refrigeration systems worldwide are not yet equipped with continuous control. They have been optimized and …
