The Furnace Heat Is Still Intense 30 Metres Away—The Insulation Challenge in a Steel Mill Control Room

Why is a steel mill control room still hot and energy-hungry when the air conditioning runs all year?

Why is a steel mill control room still hot and energy-hungry when the air conditioning runs all year?

The furnace is 30 metres away. There is a wall in between. And a pane of glass.

The air conditioning runs 24 hours a day.

Yet the moment an operator moves close to the glass to observe the furnace— a wave of heat hits them.

The problem is not an undersized air conditioner. Nor is it an insufficient electricity budget.

Heat is entering by two routes, but only one has been blocked.

LNG carriers are known as the tiaras of shipbuilding because of their high technical barriers and construction complexity.

LNG carriers are known as the tiaras of shipbuilding because of their high technical barriers and construction complexity. As global shipbuilding supply chain has matured, core components—including cryogenic steel plate, cargo pumps, and navigation systems—have gradually shifted to domestic supply, and insulation materials for cargo-containment systems have already been ...

Can thermal conductivity tell you how the whole window performs? And how should you read SC?

Energy-efficiency rules keep getting tougher, and doors and windows are still the weak link in the building envelope. Pick the wrong system and you feel it in both the energy bill and indoor comfort. Then the spec sheet hits: is a lower K value always better? Can thermal conductivity tell you how the whole window performs? And how should you read SC? This guide starts w...
