<p>Dear friends and readers, I hope you would have enjoyed reading our previous issue. Once again, I am delighted to bring for you the new edition of your favourite magazine Microbioz India. It is a &ldquo;Laboratory Edition&rdquo; supported by the cover story titled &lsquo;Increased evaporation efficiency: Hybrid ceramic bearing extends lifetime and reduces maintenance cost of fans for mechanical vapour recompression&rsquo; by TLT-Turbo GmbH, one of the world's leading manufacturers of technology-driven industrial fans and ventilation systems.</p> <p>Process industry, chemical and pharmaceutical applications require high amounts of process steam resulting in high energy usage. Thus mechanical vapour recompression is frequently used to minimize energy usage.</p> <p>A fan compresses the vapour boosting to a higher pressure and adds heat to it until the requested temperature has been reached.</p>
