Improving Scrap Steel Efficiency with Arc Furnace Optimization Techniques
3월 26, 2025
Steel continues to play a crucial role in modern engineering and construction. However, steel requires enormous amount of energy to produce and each ton of steel production generates an average of 1.89 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)—about 8% of global emissions (World Steel Association). As steel customers strive to improve the costs and energy efficiency of their production and decarbonize their supply chains, they face significant challenges in remaining competitive.

Powering X-ray Detectors - the Role of High and Low Voltage Power Supplies
3월 17, 2025
In any imaging system, the noise and ripple on the output of the high voltage supply are critical as they compromise the image quality. Any ripple present at the point of detection will degrade signal integrity and then become amplified before being analyzed and ultimately displayed. To achieve the best possible image quality, defining and managing this power source parameter is crucial to successfully implementing the system.
