| The article written by Mr. László Vákár and presented at the GPD 2009.Air pollution is high on the political agenda worldwide. Emissions have to be reduced.
| The progress obtained so far, and the future trends for the two most successful thin film solar cells, namely CulnGaSe2/CdS and CdTe/CdS, are described in this article.
| In recent years, not only have architects discovered laminated safety glass as a building material, but they have also learnt to better exploit its exceptional structural and design performance.
| Process control is a key factor for speed and efficiency of IS machines. To run a machine at high performance levels it is essential to achieve and maintain stable production conditions.
| Wrightstyle Limited is one of the UK’s most innovative steel glazing specialists with an international client base. Lee Coates, the company’s technical manager, explains the mechanics of fire and fire safety.
| Fire sprinklers in a glazing publication? The topic may seem unrelated to the glass industry, yet in reality, what you know about sprinklers may significantly impact the way you glaze a building for fire safety and protect you from liability issues.
| This information introduces the concept of thermal stress which may be induced in glass as a result of exposure to solar radiation.
| There is a great deal of confusion in the industry about how sprinklers and glass work together to provide fire protection. Which of these statements would you agree with?
| During the past 15 years tempering of bent glass has mainly changed to horizontal methods.
| The current manufacturing of tempered glass is a complex as well as time- and cost-intensive process. Not only long processing times, but also high energy costs have a significant impact.
| When new installations of flat tempering machines suited for architectural glass are discussed today, the option of convection technology is certain to be raised.
| Architects have more options than ever for incorporating glazing into building designs. One product introduced to North America in recent years is channel glass.
| The oscillating horizontal tempering furnace developed in the 1970s has been one of the most significant innovations of recent decades, above all commercially.
| We'll begin with some basic definitions. Just what is fire-rated glass? As the name implies, it is glass that has proven to offer a certain degree of protection in the face of fire. That may sound like a strange task for glass to perform.
| A comprehensive fire protection program addresses at least three things: detection, suppression and compartmentation. Detection devices such as smoke and fire alarms provide early warnings and are essential for alerting people to danger.
| Part of what made the fire so deadly was the inadequate fire protection in place at the time. According to Associated Press sources, the fire alarms in the building were extremely unpredictable.
| Windows and, generally, glass allow you to see and to be seen. However, sometimes it may be desirable to be shielded from view. Liquid crystal glazing is a perfect alternative to conventional curtains in a variety of contexts.
| The energy loss associated with glass is a major concern for designers and owners. Heat loss in winter and overheating in summer represent a major portion of the heating and air-conditioning (AC) load, contributing significantly to the cost of operating a building.
| Wired glass is more dangerous than regular glass when it breaks because the exposed wires are razor sharp.
