Weekly Opinion 1

Renewable energy is still now much more expensive compared to the traditional forms of energy. Before you opt for the former remember to calculate the rate of return after five years. It may happen that you may not get the money you invested even after five long years due to maintenance and longevity problems of the converters which are used to convert the infinite source of energy into a usable one.

How to prevent wastage of energy by maintaining a healthy pipeline ?

Every home-owner must maintain their pipeline properly.

He/She must ensure that no leaks are present.Corrosive elements like water must be removed from the surrounding of the pipe line.Junction or bend must be circular to allow smooth passage to water..Corrosion of pipe line may lead to leaking of the same.

Pipelines are prone to 'hammering' which are generally created due to unstablity in pressure head of two junctions.Such phenomenna may occur whenever a tap is opened without checking the availability of water in the tank.Due to the level difference or imbalance in the water demand and water available, a certain amount of negative pressure head may develop which will generate the hammering or creates a gurgling sound in the pipeline.

Hammering or gurgling creates excessive pressure on the water pump and wastes a lot of electricity to run the pump.If leaks are remain untreated water loss will occur which will enforce the pump to run more and thus wasting a lot of energy.Water must not be wasted.More you waste water more will you run the pump and thus more electric energy will be utilized unnecessary.
