7 Resources – seawater desalination; PX energy recovery device ERI’s PX Pressure Exchanger™ (PX™) is an innovative technology that can reduce the amount of energy required in seawater desalination by up to 60%, resulting in more economical production of drinking water and a reduced carbon footprint. ERI’s PX devices, which feature only one moving part, are the most elegant approach to high-efficiency energy recovery available today. The heart of the PX is an aluminum oxide rotor, floating in an almost frictionless hydrodynamic bearing. This ceramic material is unaffected by chemicals, is three times harder than steel, and does not corrode. The bearing is continuously lubricated by seawater, requires no maintenance, and is not subject to wear. http: //www. energyrecovery. com/index. cfm

10 MECHANICAL - mechanical Energy generating revolving door architecture · energy The Boon Edam revolving door plays a very important part in achieving and maintaining the sustainability of the building. The Tourniket revolving door will help primarily to save the carefully generated and conserved energy. A calculation was made for this particular situation that indicated an energy saving of around 4600 k. Wh per year, a considerable saving compared to a conventional sliding entrance.
