The war in Ukraine, which now seems as if it will last a long-time, is one of the most important threats we face. Preventing, or in this case, correcting, the illegal annexation of a sovereign country…
Read Full articleCarlsberg - heat recovery via heat exchanger
Breweries have often invested in conversion of waste water in bio-gas to co-fire steam boilers. Energy recovery from the waste heat has then to deal with flue gas being highly corrosive. This paper describes a solution from HeatMatrix installation in a Carlsberg brewerie.
Read Full Business Practice10 Facts about Building Automation
Building Automation and Controls (BAC) enhance comfort and productivity while using less energy, thus reducing costs and bills. All too often, energy improvement in buildings is only focused on the building fabric (such as insulation) and the installed equipment (like LEDs or high-efficiency boilers), but overlooks the opportunities in more efficient and dynamic operability. This is where advanced…
