Researchers from Canada have analyzed the performances of an aboveground compressed air energy storage system (CAES) with both an experimental setup and a numerical model. A quasi-steady-state ...

Compressed air is critical in many industrial and nonindustrial applications, including powering pneumatic tools and conveyor systems, cleaning equipment and airfilling amusement park objects. While ...

Many plants do not view compressed air energy efficiency as their primary concern; in fact, many plant managers would willingly spend three or four times more on energy if it ...

The growth of renewable power generation is experiencing a remarkable surge worldwide. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), it is projected that by 2050, the share of wind ...

Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept system to autonomously detect compressed air leaks on trains and relay the location of the leaks to mechanical personnel for repair. The automated system ...

New solid-state air conditioners could change the way homes, apartments and office buildings are cooled, eliminating the need for bulky compressor-type air conditioners and help meet the rising demand ...
