Maintain the Efficiency of Air Conditioners

Image
In order to make air conditioners (AC) work at their optimum efficiency, it is essential to understand how the technology behind them works. It is indeed comfortable to sit in an air-conditioned room. However, many people wonder as to what goes on behind that machinery and how the AC is able to cool your home or office even during those scorching hot months. The main job of the air conditioners is to lower the temperature of the air and dehumidify it to keep the room at a comfortable level. How does an air conditioner work? The entire process of making the temperature comfortable, the air cooling is based on a simple scientific principle. The AC unit is made of several components, thermostat, evaporator, condenser, expansion valve, and compressor. Each of these parts carries different roles, for example, the condenser regulates temperature, the evaporator receives the liquid refrigerant and the condensation helps to transfer the heat. The expansion valve regulates refrigerant that ...

Solving the Problem of Damp in Basements

Image
Chris Michael, Managing Director of leading British air treatment specialist Meaco , looks at damp problems that can arise in basements, and gives suggestions of how to resolve them. Basements are either partly or wholly below ground, and can come in many forms. They can be simple cellars built below the footprint of the building, without windows, or on a sloping site, with one or more walls exposed to provide natural light and an external entrance. There are many examples of older properties where a basement extends under a pavement. The presence of damp in a basement is often taken for granted, easily detectable by a musty smell, mould growth, or by the appearance of water which appears on retaining walls or floors. The source of the damp can be from the exterior, due to penetrating or rising damp, or through leaking land drains and sewers. It may also be the result of condensation or leaks from internal services. It can result from humid air entering a basement, coming into contac...

The Lost Cases , by Noe Torres and John LeMay, covers material that has come to light after the publication of the authors’ previous three books in the series, Early American UFOs , Old West UFOs , and The Coming of the Airships . Released in November 2021, the new book, 251 pages in length, is available from Amazon.com . “The Lost Cases” describes how in the late 1800s, strange airships were seen throughout the United States with highly-advanced technologies that don’t exist even today. They were sometimes piloted by “men in black,” and although they vaguely resembled manmade airships, they clearly were not. The airships are part of the many mysteries that remain unanswered based on historical documents and eyewitness accounts of the 19th century.

3 Interesting Wastewater Treatment Plants + a Look at New Processes

Image
Public facilities to distribute water to communities and, in some cases, to gather wastewater have been used throughout human history. However, serious efforts to treat wastewater weren’t developed or even seriously sought for until the latter half of the 19th century. As industrialization began a trend of population concentration in cities, cholera outbreaks and other fatal diseases killed many thousands of people. London and other cities in England and Germany were among the hardest-hit areas. In the late 1800s, the cause of cholera was determined to be drinking water from rivers. How to keep rivers clean and free from choleric bacteria was still guesswork for the most part. Rudimentary treatment of wastewater with irrigation beds was the main type of system employed. In the early second decade of the 20th century, scientists at the University of Manchester, England discovered the activated sludge process. It quickly became the standard throughout the western world. Other processe...

How Artificial Intelligence will influence Web Design

Image
Artificial intelligence is the latest game-changer in the development of web design, fuelling the next stages of its evolution. While AI is already being used to great effect in fields such as cybersecurity and customer service, it represents a largely untapped resource in web design — that is, until now. AI is the concept of crafting artificial systems and networks that behave in an intelligent fashion, mimicking the processes of the human brain. For example, a customer service bot can use analytical tools to understand a client query before delivering a solution, and it can even actively learn about different customer needs across different situations. But, while the benefits of AI in customer service might be obvious, how does this apply to web design? Basically, AI is simplifying the process, putting high-level web design capabilities into the hands of operators of all skill sets and backgrounds. For instance, AI tools are deployed in image processing, carrying out editing task...

Is Cross-Training the most effective activity to achieve optimal fitness?

Swimming, jogging, cycling, and rowing are examples of aerobic workouts, often known as cardio conditioning. It’s great for your heart, stamina, mood, and longevity.
