An ohmmeter is a device that measures electrical resistance. It may do so using a micro-ohmmeter for low resistance or a megohmmeter (or Megger) for greater resistances. By accurately measuring ohms, some common heating system issues can be identified. Ohms Ohms are the unit of measurement an ohmmeter uses. Named for German physicist Georg Ohm, […]
Cutting down on heating costs is one of the biggest and simplest ways to save on operational costs. Having efficient heaters and affordable heating costs directly impacts the profitability of your project. This article looks at the costs of gas versus electric heaters. As well as breaking down the factors that contribute to the overall […]
Traditionally, the focus of most grassroots environmental impact campaigns has focused on consumers. Yet the bulk of carbon dioxide emissions are a result of industrial applications and processes. Because of this, it has become crucial that major industries tackle decarbonization by phasing out fossil fuels with electric power from renewables and low-carbon resources. The evolution […]
Convection Heaters Two of the most common industrial heating methods are convection and infrared heating. The more direct heating of radiant (infrared) is more efficient in a large or targeted area. However, convection heating is more appropriate for enclosed spaces, such as industrial ovens. Instead of directly heating the target product, convection heaters heat air […]
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) includes over 700 standards and application guides, as well as providing business analytics and advocacy for electrical equipment manufacturers. NEMA Standards NEMA Standards contribute to the design, manufacturing, and distribution of electrical equipment. The standards are relevant to products like electric immersion heaters, lighting, utility, building, and transportation systems. […]
