There appears to be a preconceived notion that the greater the surface area covered, the more efficient the filter performance, which leads to the introduction of extra pockets.

Several factors contribute to the betterment of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)

Arguing that unclogging of filters plays a critical role in ensuring better Indoor Air Quality, Dr Iyad Al-Attar demonstrates why it is important to determine when and how clogging occurs.

Cooling towers have gained in popularity and have become the standard heat rejection method, says Georges Hoeterickx, and gives several pointers to be kept in mind while choosing packaged-type cooling towers.

Jerome Sanchez reports on how companies in the adhesives industry are dealing with the lingering economic crisis, among other challenges.

A well-sealed, leak-free ductwork system ensures greater comfort and better IAQ, and a spray sealant helps achieve this, says Billy Prewitt.

Dr Iyad Al-Attar begins his new series, wherein he conducts an in-depth analysis of Air Filtration and offers his erudite insights.

Since duct-leakage issues have a direct bearing on the comfort level of occupants, the problems need to be addressed promptly, says Billy Prewitt.

Energy efficiency, initial investment and operation costs are key factors every plant designer has to deal with. While the first affects the environment, all three affect the bottom line.

B Surendar caught up with Aslan Al-Barazi, Executive Director, IMEC, at The Climate Control Conference, held in Doha in April, for a Q&A session on the comparative merits of air-cooled and water-cooled chillers and on the use of seawater and TSE in cooling towers.
