Filter monitoring: A crucial component for energy-efficient operation
| Jürgen Arndt | Know-howIf the careful use of “energy” as a resource used to be for cost reasons, today there is also increased environmental awareness. All of this also becomes mandatory thanks to legal requirements and the state of the technology. In this article you can read about how …
Measuring instruments for combined heat and power plants (CHP)
| Gerhard Renz | ApplicationsThe range of combined heat and power plants (CHP) is very large, as is the high variance of different plant types. The distinction is made by the generated power/heat output on the one hand and by the energy source used on the other. For all CHP plants, a large number …
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 …
