Thermal insulation is a means of stopping heat transfer from one object to another. It is usually used to decrease levels of heat transfer via conduction, requiring objects to be in direct contact, and can also be used to prevent heat transfer via radiation. Thermal conductivity of materials determines the rate of heat transfer between [...]
Thermal solar collectors absorb sunlight to collect heat. The term thermal solar collector is often used in reference to a device for heating water, however the term also can be used for large power generating installations or non-water heating devices. Solar thermal collectors are extremely efficient at capturing solar radiation, which is mostly comprised of [...]
Commodity fabric coatings like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU) are used in many different applications, but silicone-coated textiles have grown substantially in popularity over the years. Silicone coated fabric is used in a range of industries including aerospace, aluminum, automotive, oil and gas, and even food industry applications. The composition of silicone fabrics largely [...]
Global spending on oil and gas production dropped historically in 2020, by an estimated 10%, with demand for fuel and travel dramatically decreasing across the globe. Although oil prices have begun to slowly increase since November, they are expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels for some time. However, investment in renewables and other clean energy [...]
At Mid-Mountain Materials, Inc. we engineer high-performance thermally-insulated curtains for an array of industrial applications. Our solutions are typically based on composites of the best-in-class coating and substrate materials configured to your unique specifications. This means we can tailor product dimensions or tweak specific properties to enhance end-product performance. Our thermal insulated curtains are typically [...]
Thermal insulation materials are designed, first and foremost, to mitigate the transfer of heat from one object to another. This may refer to the heat from a boiler escaping through the chamber walls into the surrounding atmosphere, or the high ambient temperatures of processing lines from impacting the sensitive electronics of robotic construction devices. Specialist [...]
Maintaining national rail infrastructures is an extraordinarily difficult task. The U.S. rail network comprises almost 140,000 miles of track, encompassing freight, intercity, and passenger railroads. Each of these sees intensive daily use. As much as five million tons of freight and around 85,000 passengers are transported by rail every single day. That volume of traffic [...]
Air leakage control is a critical activity for a wide spectrum of businesses. Contractors may be tasked with sealing building envelopes to prevent heat loss, thus energy wastage. Specialty manufacturers may be called upon to deliver precision fabricated parts that target specific pain points and air leakage paths. The only way to gain a deep [...]
Automation has been a key performance driver in virtually all industries. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the construction line where complex yet repetitive assembly tasks have been delegated to robotic systems. You can largely trace the genesis of industrial robots to the 1960s and the early days of Silicon Valley; when high-performance semiconductors [...]
Lightweighting is a critical part of the mandate for aeronautic engineers, who constantly tread a careful line between cost, efficiency, and performance. The price of getting it wrong can be catastrophic. That is why careful attention is paid to each and every component to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers and crew throughout the [...]
