Johnson Controls
Here, the focus is on screw compressors in refrigeration and the use of economizers and side loads to enhance energy efficiency. The advantages of screw compressors over reciprocating compressors are highlighted, particularly their ability to have a secondary suction port for drawing additional vapor. The economizer utilizes this port to sub-cool liquid going from the…

Fundamentals of Vibration Measurement with Screw Compressors
Screw compressors are quite large and always a vibration signature on machines. It’s important to learn what we can from those signatures to know if maintenance is needed or if a machine needs some attention. Starting with the basics today and work up to a little more specific interpretation of screw compressor details.

That’s forcing a more uncomfortable question into the open: what is a college credential really worth today? As employers and governments shift their focus…
Why the Modern Data Center Is Forcing Communities and Policymakers to Rethink Infrastructure
Data centers have moved from largely invisible digital infrastructure to a highly visible source of public debate as artificial intelligence accelerates demand for power, fiber, and compute capacity. The modern data center is now being built closer to population centers to support low-latency services, bringing critical infrastructure into direct contact with residential communities for…
