Snow and ice falling from buildings
How to avoid Snow and ice falling from buildings. Sheets of snow and ice falling and being blown off buildings are a major hazard that can cause damage to the structure, equipment, and possibly injure someone. Winter conditions have been accounted for in the building...
Heat Trace and Hoppers
Many industries that use hoppers utilize heat trace to aid in material flow. Hoppers are elevated storage containers that contain and dispense granular materials. Commonly used in agriculture hoppers are also used in industries such as plastics, chemical,...

Radiation Pattern Envelope
Satellite antennas radiate signal energy in distinct patterns that are reported as their radiation pattern envelope. These patterns consist of lobes which indicate the intensity of signal radiation radially on a horizontal plane emanating from the antenna. These...
Snow and Ice melt Environmental Impacts
Considering environmental impacts of snow and ice melt maintenance. There are environmental costs involved with any snow and ice melt system, knowing and assessing these environmental costs can help you choose the snow and Ice maintenance system that will work best...
Desiccant vs Membrane Dehydration
Desiccant vs Membrane Dehydration. Two of the main types of dehydrators are used for waveguide dehydrators, desiccant dryers, and membrane dehydrators. Both effectively remove moisture from the air but do it in vastly different ways. A waveguide is a tube-like...
Leak rates and duty cycles of dehydrators
Understanding the leak rates and duty cycles of dehydrators The overall purpose of the dehydrator is to eliminate moisture in the waveguide of the transmitter. Moisture will affect the reflected energy and increase the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) of the system....
Heat-Trace in Hot Water Maintenance
Heat-trace is used in many aspects of everyday modern life that mostly goes unnoticed. One main example of this is the ability to access hot water quickly from any faucet in a large building no matter how far from the water heater it is. This is a function of a...
