Tankless water heaters are the latest innovation for domestic hot water generation. The principle is simple; make water hot when you need it, on demand. The demand occurs when someone opens the hot water faucet on a plumbing fixture and expects to feel hot water coming out of the faucet. As the water flows through the tankless heater, it is heated and the user gets exactly what was asked for, namely, hot water. No storage of hot water, no waiting...more

In an executive order by current Ohio governor, Ted Strickland on the 6th of August 2010, the governor banned the outsourcing of services paid with state dollars, which said that, "Ohio's policy has been – and must continue to be – that public funds should not be spent on services provided offshore."Indian personalities, companies, and publications meanwhile, have expressed varying degrees of dismay over the move.

In the increasing trend to generate electrical power from renewable sources, solar PV cells were one of the first technologies considered for the conversion of solar energy to usable electrical energy. PV technology initially had to contend with issues such as low conversion efficiency and high initial investment. However, power output has significantly improved through the development of new technologies involving mirrors/reflectors that focus sunlight falling over a huge area onto a small set of PV cells.CPVs are also often equipped with trackers following the sun's position so that sun rays directly hit the panel of reflectors and are then redirected to the PV cell arrays. As CPV reflectors require huge open areas, the technology often has to contend with the issue of water shortage for cooling CPV cells. Air or the hybrid wet-dry cooling technology enables the use of CPV cells in deserts and isolated places. The CPV cells market is set for high growth with government initiatives in place for renewable power. The market also holds promise for new entrants as it currently has only a few players.Scope of the reportThe report covers all the major types of concentrated...more
