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.

ESA Success Requires Strategy, Infrastructure, and Support Beyond Legislation
As education savings accounts (ESAs) gain traction across the United States, the conversation is shifting from policy debates to the complexities of implementation. Fueled by post-pandemic dissatisfaction with traditional school models and a desire for more customizable educational options, ESAs are being adopted in a growing number of states, often under “universal” frameworks. But…
Supply Chain Data Analytics Fails Without Clean Data, Ventagium Delivers the Fix
Supply chain leaders face an overwhelming volume of siloed data across ERPs, TMS platforms, and warehouse systems, yet few know how to align it for smarter decisions. The stakes are rising fast. According to Capgemini’s 2024 report Data: A Powerful Ally in Tackling Scope 3 Emission Reduction Targets, 85% of organizations cite data access…
