How to Recharge an Electronic Cigarette?

Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are devices designed to replicate the look, feel and taste of ordinary cigarettes. However, instead of the combustion process used by normal cigarettes, these electronic cigarettes use an electronic atomizer in order to deliver the nicotine to the smoker. Since there is no need for combustion, Topgreen Health electronic cigarettes do not contain or use tobacco. Like many other electronic products, e-cigarettes use batteries that need to be recharged regularly.
Instructions

1. Remove the battery from your electronic cigarette atomizer by turning the battery counterclockwise. An electronic cigarette is typically made of three parts: an atomizer, an inhaler, and a battery. The inhaler is the brown part that you put into your mouth; the atomizer is the part that you insert into the inhaler; the battery, which is the part that includes the cigarette tip, is screwed into the atomizer. Put the atomizer and inhaler aside.
2. Screw your battery into the battery charger.
3. Plug the charger into a USB port or power outlet, depending on the type of charger. There are different types of electronic cigarette chargers. The most common ones are USB chargers, car chargers and regular power outlet chargers. If you are unsure about which type of charger you have, please refer to its documentation.
4. Let the battery charge for several hours, or until the light on the battery turns green.

Tips & Warnings
Heavy smokers of electronic cigarettes might benefit from purchasing several batteries and keeping them charged at all times.

How to Clean a Pro Audio Speaker

Cleaning a pro audio speaker not only keeps it looking its best, but also provides a great opportunity to inspect the unit for wear and damage. A pro audio speaker will last for years if properly maintained, but will still need the occasional jack, cone or even diaphragm replaced. A clean pro audio cabinet also looks newer and retains its value, as well as reflecting positively on its owner. Read on to learn how to clean a pro audio speaker.
Instructions
1.Use a hose attachment, preferably without a brush, to vacuum the front grille, even if it is metal. If the grille is easily removed, vacuum underneath it as well as both sides. Carefully vacuum speaker cones if they can be accessed. Whether or not the grille is removable, inspect the speaker cones as closely as possible for signs of tearing.
2.Vacuum the outside of the cabinet if it is carpet covered. Clean plastic or vinyl covered cabinets with glass cleaner or auto interior cleaner and a clean cloth.
3.Inspect the casters or feet of the cabinet. Tighten any loose screws.
4.Clean any plastic or metal jack plates using the cloth with a small amount of cleaner applied to it. The cloth should be damp not wet. Logo plates on a pro audio speaker can also be cleaned in this way.
5.Stretch the cloth over the end of a speaker cable. Apply a small amount of contact cleaner (not lubricant) and quickly insert and remove from each quarter inch jack. There is no easy way to clean other ceiling outside speaker connections.

Watts Used by Industrial Machines

The watt is an international unit of measurement of electrical power. A kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. The energy use of industrial machinery is commonly measured in kilowatts or kilowatts per hour. Kilowatts per hour, or KW/h, refers to the amount of kilowatts used to keep a machine running for one hour. This information will usually be listed on the machine's nameplate as KW or KW/h.
500-Ton Centrifugal Liquid Chiller
Centrifugal liquid chillers are industrial HVAC units used to cool large commercial spaces. Conventional rule of thumb says that a nominal ton of air conditioning provides enough cooling for approximately 500 to 600 square feet of building space. Therefore a 500-ton centrifugal chiller would be used to cool a 250,000 to 300,000 square foot building. This machine is rated by the manufacturer at .48 KW or 480 watts per ton of cooling. This means that this chiller running at full capacity should use approximately 240 KW or 240,000 watts per hour.
Continuous Fusing Heat Press Machine
This machine is used for industrial heat transfer. It operates continuously with constant heat and a belt speed of 8.7 meters per minute and is able to fuse materials with a width of up to 600 millimeters. This dry cleaning machines have  a heater (heaters are notorious power gluttons) that is rated at 4.2 KW or 4,200 watts. It also has a motor rated at .60 KW or 600 watts. Therefore, this machine under normal conditions will consume approximately 4,800 watts per hour or 4.8 KW/h. You need to make sure you're considering the power usage of all the components of a machine when trying to find its watts usage.
400-kg Capacity Industrial Washing Machine
This machine is the type typically used in textile factories to pre-wash fabrics. It is driven by a powerful motor, rated at 11 KW or 11,000 watts per hour. Notice that there is no electrical heating element in this industrial washer. If electrical heating of any sort were incorporated into this machine, the watts usage would be substantially higher.

How to Manage Laundry Equipment

Managing laundry equipments is necessary to operate a successful coin-operated laundromat. Routine maintenance will prolong the life of laundry equipment, maintain energy efficiency, limit excessive water usage and prevent losses in income due to equipment breakdowns. A laundromat operator can perform small routine maintenance himself and hire a mechanic to perform periodic inspections and tuneups. Routine maintenance leads to functioning equipment, which leads to satisfied customers. It is all part of a well managed laundry business.
Instructions
1.Create a list of equipment and identify the maintenance requirements of each. Take into account varying ages of equipment, which may have been purchased at different times. Hire a laundry equipment maintenance technician to visit your store to inspect your equipment after it is first installed. Ask the mechanic what you can do regularly to maintain the brands of washers and dryers you use and write down his responses. Routine maintenance includes cleaning escaped lint from around the burner boxes, changing hoses and keeping bolts tightened.
2.Make a calendar for regular maintenance according to priority level. Schedule escaped lint removal on a monthly basis. Set a reminder to change inlet hoses on washers on a yearly basis. Check the tightness of bolts on a quarterly basis to ensure that the machines do not move off of their pads. Schedule appointments for quarterly or yearly inspections by the mechanic as recommended. Include possible equipment replacements on your calendar in anticipation of retirements of older equipment.
3.Remove coins from the machine's coin bank every night or at several points during the day. Consider removing coins after each large wave of customers during peak hours.
4.Use dry cleaning machines  to wash washing machines clean of laundry residue once a month. A washer cleaner can also improve the inner appearance of the washer basket.

How to Install a Water Chlorination System

Chlorination of water is a standard method of insuring a safe supply of water. Chlorine residuals in the water kill harmful bacteria that may be present. Chlorine can also be used to reduce sulfur odor problems with some types of water sources. A sodium hypochlorite (bleach) chlorination system is common, and its parts include a contacting-head water meter which sends signals to a chemical metering pump to proportionally inject the chemical based on the water flow rate in the pipe. Injection does not occur unless there is water flow. To obtain a low, but steady chlorine residual, a liquid system is optimal. The range of acceptable free chlorine levels is 0.3 to 0.5 parts per million, delivered at the most distal part of the water system.

1

Purchase a contacting-head water meter -- in-line or insertion style -- and a chemical metering pump that fits the size of the water main and its flow. The type of water meter you need is determined by the size of the pipe. In-line water meters are commonly available for water pipes that are from 3/4 to 2 inches in diameter. If your water supply pipe is larger, then you must purchase an insertion meter that is installed on a saddle fitting, which is cemented and fastened over a hole drilled in the pipe.

2

Turn off the water pump and shut off valves that are above and below the point of installation of the in-line water meter. Drain the water out. Cut the pipe where the water meter is to be installed. Clean the cut pipe of any PVC pieces with a knife. Glue on the PVC fittings to the line that provide female threads for connecting the male fittings of the water meter. Install the water meter male threads on each side of the pipe and then connect the unions (which come with the water meter) to the water meter body. If you are installing an insertion meter, drill the appropriate size hole at the insertion site and install a saddle fitting over it. If the saddle fitting has a hole which is too large for the meter threads, then install reducer bushings as needed.

3

Screw in the insertion flow meter. You will also need to make a hole for the chlorine injection downstream of the meter and install a saddle fitting. An injection fitting usually has 1/2-inch male threads, so you need to have a 1/2-inch female fitting to receive it.

4

Mount the chemical metering pump in a location above the bucket used for holding the sodium hypochlorite. Drill the mount holes and fasten the pump to the mount. On the injection side, connect the injector fitting and screw in into the site of injection on the pipe. On the suction side, install the foot valve so it reaches the bottom of the chemical container.

5

Plunger pump and prime it with bleach solution. In order to prime this type of pump, turn it on so it is at full capacity and speed and open the valve for priming which is on top of the pump. If you do not have a priming valve, you may have to grab the tubing and move it up and down to make the liquid move up the tubing and get to the pump head. Disconnecting the tubing above the head also helps priming. Once you see the liquid rising above the head in the tubing above, the pump is primed and ready for injection in the water system.

6

Keep the pump running until the bleach solution reaches the injector fitting; adjust the pump back to the setting for the calculated injection rate. Then unplug it. Finally, install the water meter contact cable to the pump.

7

Check to make sure all fittings do not leak; then plug in the pump for chlorine injection. Allow the system to pump for an hour or more while there is water use at the most distal point. Test the free chlorine residuals at this point to see if they are at 0.5 to 1 parts per million. Adjust the pump settings and the bleach concentration levels to help achieve the appropriate free chlorine residuals.
