Mastercool Evaporative Cooler

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:57:27 -0500

Mastercool evaporative coolers work best in environments that are hot with a low humidity because of the way that they operate.

Water from a sump is fed into a large pad, then hot and dry air is drawn through the soaked pad. The heat of the air is absorbed by the water, and the energy is transferred into the liquid, causing it to evaporate from the pad and into the air. This cools the air temperature and provides a more humid atmosphere, which again will feel much more comfortable. The effect is like wearing a wet T-shirt on a hot day.

Industrial Air Compressors

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:26:55 -0600

The importance of having the right tool to carry out any job cannot be overstated, and it is increasingly the case in industry that manufacturing and maintenance staff must carry out a wide variety of tasks that require a range of different power tools. This means that to carry out a single repair job around the plant a person might very well need to have two or three individual power tools in order to be able to do the job properly. The size of modern plants, coupled with the range of risks that must be managed when working in a heavy environment means that electric tools are not always suitable, and instead, air power is the best option. With industrial air compressors, operators will be able to take their own power source with them wherever they go in the factory or plant and be able to generate all the power they need for the job that they are carrying out.
