Berger Paints India Ltd. is a second largest company in India with a consistent track record of being one of the fastest growing paint companies, quarter on quarter, for the past few years. In 1770, Louis Steigenberger moved from Frankfurt to London to sell a Prussian blue colour, which was made using his own formula. He then changed his name to Lewis Berger and by 1870 Berger was selling 19 different pigments, including black lead, sulphur, sealing wax and mustard. After the demise of Lewis Berger his sons took over the business. Sherwin-Williams, an American company bought control of the company in the 1900s.The history of Berger Paints India Limited as a company started in 1923 as Hadfield's (India) Limited which was a small colonial venture …show more content…
Madhukar took over as the Managing Director in the year 1973. Under him the company became the fastest growing company in the paint industry as sales figures reached over Rs. 160 million by 1978. In 1983, the name of the company was changed to Berger Paints India Limited. Subir Bose has been the Managing Director since 1994, under whom Berger's team currently runs. In 1991 UB group sold the company to Kuldip Singh Dhingra and Gurbachan Singh Dhingra . Kuldip Singh Dhingra is the chairman and Gurbachan Singh Dhingra is the vice chairman of the company. 5.1 General The plant is equipped with one coil type boiler of capacity 600 kg/hr, HSD fired for meeting the steam demand of the jacket heating of the reactor kettles.

Three (2 standby) air compressor dedicated for resin and solvent base plant, & two (1 standby) for water base plant. In present scenario, the plant is operating two air compressors to meet the compressed air demand. The plant has installed four air receiver located near all the compressors. The air compressors are operating in load and unload mode. The compressors will be unloaded while reaching to the set pressure. This is analogous to start/stop control which controls the compressor functions, instead of the motor. When compressors in unload mode, the motor continues to operate however at much reduced load and no compressed air is delivered to the system. The compressed air pressure required at the end use point was observed to be about 5.0 kg/cm2. 6.0 Refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) systems The refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) systems are provided in Berger Paints mainly for maintaining the process cooling requirement. 6.1 System specification 6.1.1 Refrigeration system The requirment of process cooling i.e jacket cooling in IEC machines and Sand mills in solvent base area of Berger Paints, Rishra facility is provided using one air cooled scroll chiller. Table 6.1.1 gives the design detail of these chillers. 6.1.2 Pumps Pumps in chiller
...ed the water begins to boil and steam is produced. When the steam is produced is moved up towards the reactor opening, as it moves up the steam passes through turbines that spin creating energy. The turbines begin to move which is what produces the energy. During this process a lot of steam is produced which is why so much power is created.
The results for the heat capacities of the calorimeters were determined using the hot and cold water tests. Data was gathered from this experiment and calculations were preformed that resulted in the figures shown in table 1.
In warmer climates such as Egypt they used techniques as evaporative cooling, “if water is placed in shallow trays during the cool tropical nights, its rapid evaporation can cause ice to form in the trays, even if the air does not fall below freezing temperatures”. Although refrigeration developed in the 18th century it wasn’t until the mid-19th century when the first refrigerator built using vapor technology was build by American John Gorrie in 1844. A few years later commercial refrigeration was introduced as well as vapor compression technology which was the beginning of our modern refrigeration. Later that century ammonia was popularized as the evaporation chemical in refrigeration. All the trials and tribulations of refrigeration where all stepping stones to the 20th century and the introduction of modern refrigeration as we know it

The report is written to explain DSC, the thermal analysis technique. In this technique the differential analysis on the base of reference material is done at different temperature. A very close and similar technique is DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) . In these technique the material is heated at different temperature although sometimes isothermal analysis also done for specific applications. The temperature is recorded for any heat release or absorption. So the heat capacity is measured at those temperatures. Two possible modes for DSC are power compensation mode and heat flux mode DSC. So, DSC is a technique which measure the heat capacity at various temperature of material and reference.
The pinch analysis uses Temperature-Enthalpy (T-H) diagram, the composite curves. the temperature axis represents the available driving forces for heat transfer, while the enthalpy axis shows the supply and demand of heat. For processes with multiple cold streams, the individual process thermal duties can be combined into a single “cold composite curve” drawn on a Temperature-Enthalpy T-H diagram, which represents the enthalpy demand profile of the process. Similarly, all the thermal duties for hot streams can be combined into a single “hot composite curve”, which represents the enthalpy availability profile of the process.
Political factors: In India, there are very tough regulations put in place by the Indian govt. to avoid the monopoly conditions and govt. control remains at the top. This company is generally the state owned company therefore the decision making is very hard for the company and company has to follow the political changes which happen in the India. India has disputes with the Pakistan and China, which is continuously affecting the industry.
The factors for exponential growth for air-conditioning are the HVAC Market, energy, environment, communication, societal, political, preparing for the future, looking ahead, and the conclusion. Buildings of the U.S. use approximately 35% of the nation’s precise total of energy consumption. The worth of shipments by U.S. HVAC manufacturers was over $28 billion of 1996. Since there are 52,000 CHC chillers needed to be replaced among the U.S., there’s a large opportunity for new chillers, new technology for the HVAC industry. The ozone depletion is an international issue in which is currently being resolved. The 3rd world countries are still allowed to manufacture CFC’s. Illegal imports of CFC’S to the U.S. is a consistent concern. Many illegal imports are virgin CFC’s. Those whom have a political overtones are specifically the ones whom create a protectionism of local commerce, having a negative impact on those inside and out of the country.
Aditya Birla Group is one of the first multinational corporations in India. Its headquarter is located in Mumbai with many others operations in different parts of the world such as in Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines, China…), Europe (UK, Germany, Hungary, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland…), America (US, Brazil…). Throughout their growing, Aditya Birla have become well known in many sectors that they get involved in not only in India but also around the world. Back to the earlier day of the corporation, when it first founded, the group has focused on critical sector such as textiles and fibre, aluminum… and become one of the largest participant in those areas. Later on, in the 1960s, the company had expanded their business into cement and chemicals. Also, they expanded their business across the border of India into many other countries. This “revolution” has brought the name of the group into the international business map and become bigger than ever (Aditya Birla Group 2007). Today, ABG is a corporation with the consolidate revenue of 30bil with the affiliates in 45 countries and 60% of their revenue come from internationally and become one of the largest private company in the world (Aditya Birla Nuvo Limited, 2011).
That was one of the reasons as to why Ratan Tata paid $13 billion to acquire the UK-based Corus, now Tata Steel Europe (TSE). It is the largest acquisition by any Indian company till date. But afterwards Corus faced several problems. According to Chaturvedi, “A robust supply chain management is needed to cut costs, improving lead time with customers, to have correct working capital and making sure there are no stock-out.” But that did not happen in reality. As a result, Corus kept losing its competitive advantage and started falling behind its’ rivals. These issues were unknown when Tata Steel acquired Corus; that was the time when the UK company was experiencing a steel boom fuelled by demand from China. The proceedings looked smooth and as a result the Indian management thought it to be wise to adopt a ‘go slow’ approach on integration of the Indian and European operations. In hindsight, that proved to be a bad move. Mr. Malay Mukherjee, former director at ArcelorMittal, world’s largest steel maker, says, “It is crucial you start integrating within six months of an acquisition. Else it gets too late.” He says that his earlier boss, Mr. Lakshmi Mittal, who created a steel empire by buying and turning around assets, would always make sure to have a post-acquisition team
This chain reaction produces massive amounts of heat. Nuclear reactors take advantage of this heat by pumping water into the reactor, which in turn produces steam. The steam then becomes pressurized through a pipeline and exits into a turbine (“How to do Nuclear”). The pressurized steam causes the turbine blades to spin, producing power which is linked to a generator for use in the main power lines. When the steam passes the turbine blades, it goes past cooled pipes and condensates (“How to do Nuclear”).
... temperature of 112 0C also and a pressure 2.5 bar. Cooling water is used to condense the vapor exiting column. Remaining methane and hydrogen are separated in reflux drum where the vapor stream is combined with other gases streams. The overhead of first and second separator are combined to form fuel gas. The liquid stream exiting in the bottoms of the reflux drum is pumped at pressure of 3.3 bar for discharging pressure. The pump stream is separated in two streams. One stream is to feed to tray one of the column and the other one stream is cooled down to 38 0C in heat exchanger. Then, the cooled product stream is sent to storage.
This article will explain three principles of thermal insulation systems in building, namely conduction, convection and thermal radiation, then discusses three applications in home, finally shows the significance of the thermal insulation systems for humanity.
Process da: This low temperature liquid then enters the evaporator where it absorbs heat from the space to be cooled namely the refrigerator and becomes vapour
For example, evaporative cooling can be used to cool greenhouses in regions of the world with high temperatures and low humidity. Evaporative cooling utilizes the heat of the greenhouse air to evaporate water from plants and other wet surfaces, cooling the greenhouse between 10 and 20 degrees below the outside temperature (Bartok, “Ventilation for Greenhouses”) As water evaporates from surfaces in the greenhouse it draws heat along with it and allows the air to be cooled. This method of cooling is energy efficient and thus is much more economical than other cooling options. In addition, insulation is used in greenhouses located in climates with lower average temperatures. Insulation is used as a barrier between the colder outside air and the warmer internal air. During winter months, there is not always enough light to warm a greenhouse to an acceptable temperature, so greenhouse operators use heaters to warm their greenhouse. However, many greenhouses have to be insulated by energy screens that “can provide 30 to 50% savings in heating costs” (Bartok, "Energy and Shade Screen”) Often referred to as energy blankets, they save energy by reducing the amount of the greenhouse that is exposed to the outside air and trapping the warm air on the inside of the screen. Whether a greenhouse needs to be cooled or heated, different technologies and techniques can be used to maintain a constant
