The lubricant in refrigeration and air conditioning systems has many important functions. Even though the circulated refrigerant is the working fluid required for cooling, the lubricant or oil is ...

Oil carryover is present in all pneumatic systems where the compressed air is generated by oil lubricated compressors. With the increased use of electronic and small orifice components on trucks and ...

Economic analyses demonstrate the operational benefits of using particular energy recovery and scrubber technologies on natural gas transmission systems.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) announced today that compressor technology co-developed with Copeland has won an R&D 100 ...

Atlas Copco has introduced a new version of its ZT 90-160 air-cooled oil-free screw air compressor, including re-designed compressor elements that have been adapted to work even more energy ...

The compressor is the heart of the entire AC system and a well-functioning compressor is crucial for optimal performance of the air conditioning system. Otherwise, less cold air is blown into the ...

Approximately 94% of the energy that is consumed by an air compressor is converted into heat which is subsequently released through the cooling system and radiation.
