Choosing between tilting pad and active magnetic bearings for direct-drive compressors
Did you know active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems are more energy efficient and have lower lifetime costs than tilting pad bearing systems? We at The Switch regularly evaluate bearing systems when we supply high-speed electric machines. Our customers are looking for a bearing system that will provide the load capacity and stability their high-speed direct-drive…

Important considerations for the design of industrial high-temperature heat pumps
Why high-temperature heat pumps? Industrial process heat requirements drive global energy demands, accounting for 29% of demand and 15% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. High-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) have the potential to capture industrial waste heat and significantly reduce industrial energy use and CO2 emissions. The International…
