smog – Shanghai Metal Corporation

Vyhrá smog alebo ľudia?

Problémy so smogom už dávno nie sú len problémy týajúce sa Číny. Počet miest, ktoré zápasia so znečistením ovzduším, rok čo rok pribúda. Určite ste počuli o probléme s ovzduším v “meste lásky” – v Paríži vo Francúzsku. Nie je však veľmi romantické nosiť celý deň masku kvôli zlému vzduchu, nemyslíte?

Smog-eating-tiles — Students at the University of California

Tím ambicióznych študentov na Kalifornskej univer-zite prišiel s úžasnou myšlienkou a vyvinul účinnú zbraň v boji voči znečistenému ovzdušiu. Študenti vytvorili strešné škridlice, ktoré sú natreté oxidom titaničitým, ktorý dokáže rozbiť smog tvoriace čiastočky a eliminovať veľké percento oxidov dusíka, ktoré do vzduchu vypúšťajú autá a elektrárne. Oxid titaničitý je pomerne lacný chemický produkt obsiahnutý v obrovskom počte vecí každodenného života. Zaujímavý fakt je, že je tak lacný, že natretie strechy rodinného domu v priemernej veľkosti by stál len 5 amerických dolárov. Smog je spôsobený plynmi oxidu dusnatého, ktorý reaguje na slnečné svetlo. Študenti zistili, že táto špeciálna strecha môže odstrániť 88 až 97 percent znečistenia a rozbiť ho na častice, ktoré nemajú na zdravie človeka škodlivý efekt.

Ako to funguje?

1. dopravné prostriedky produkujú toxíny tvoriace smog

2. smog pohlcujúca škridlica pokrytá oxidom titaničitým odpovedá na UV žiarenie tým, že rozbije oxidy dusíka produkované dopravnými prostriedkami

3. vzniknuté častice a formy ostávajú na škridle, kým ich nezmyje dážď

V Shanghai Metal Corporation dbáme na ochranu životného prostredia a ponúkame široký výber kvalitných produktov ako napríklad stroj na formovanie strešných panelov a iné.

Fight against smog !

Problems with smog are now not only Chinese issue. The number of cities dealing with air pollution is increasing and you have probably heard about current heavy pollution in Paris, a city of love. But it isn’t very romantic to spend a day with a mask on your face, is it?

A team of ambitious students at the University of California came with an amazing idea and developed a great weapon against air pollution. They created roof tiles coated with titanium dioxide which can break down smog-forming particles in the atmosphere and eliminate a big percentage of nitrogen oxide gas emitted by cars and power plants. Titanium dioxide is inexpensive chemical found in a huge number of everyday products. The interesting fact is that it is so inexpensive that the whole average-sized residential roof can be covered with it for $5.0. Smog is cause by nitrogen oxide gases that react to sunlight and students discovered that using these special roof tiles can remove 88 to 97 of this oxide pollution and break down into less harmful compounds.

1. vehicles release smog-producing toxins into the air

2. smog-eating tile covered with titanium oxide responding to UV light breaking down nitrogen oxides produced by vehicles

3. the process forms reside on tile until rain washes it away

In Shanghai Metal Corporation we also care about the environment and offer you high-quality products as roof panel roll forming machines.

Buď cool a ušetri peniaze!

Počas stavby domu si určite každý kladie otázku, aký druh či farbu strechy vybrať, rovnú alebo sklonenú, tmavú či svetlú. Ak bývate v oblasti, kde bývajú časté horúčavy, vašim riešením by mohla byť “kovová chladná strecha”.

“Cool strecha” alebo anglický výraz “cool roof” odráža slnečné žiarenie tým, že vysiela žiarenie do svojho okolia. Nie je to cool? Strecha doslovne znižuje množstvo vzninutého tepla. Dve základné charakteristiky strechy sú odraz slnečného svetla a tepelné vysielanie. Je to akoby ste mali oblečené biele tričko počas horúcich dní, odráža slnečné svetlo a absorbuje teplo.

Výhody

znižovanie energie – keďže budova ostáva chladnejšia, spotrebuje sa menej energie a klimatizácia nie je nevyhnutná
redukovanie emisií a znečistenia ovzdušia
pozitívny vplyv na ľudské zdravie a pocit pohodlia – “cool strechy” pomáhaju v prevencii voči chorobám spôsobeným teplom
predlžovanie životnosti strechy a znižovanie nákladov na údržbu

Tieto kovové strechy by mohli byť jedným z riešení v boji voči znečisteniu ovzdušia vo väčších mestách. Okrem toho, že pomáhajú chrániť životné prostredie, ochladzujú mestá. Môžu takisto docieliť zvýšenie produktivity práce a znížiť hodnoty smogu vo veľkomestách. Sú dlho trvácnejšie než štandardné strechy, pretože sa nepriehrievajú.

“Cool strechy” sú typicky ladené vo svetlých farbách, takže môžu “sadnúť” aj pre vyznávačov modernej architektúry. Keďže v súčasnosti sú ponuka a výrobcovia týchto kovových striech značne široké, je ťažké vybrať si správne a kvalitne.

Shanghai Metal Corporation okrem kovových a oceľových produktov tiež ponúka panelový valec na formovanie striech, ktorý sa používa na výrobu rôznych druhov striech. Pre viac informácií neváhajte navštíviť webové stránky alebo nám poslať požiadavku tu. Anglicky hovoriaci personál vám ochotne pomôže a zodpovie prípadné otázky.

Be cool, save energy and pay less

While building a house there is always a question what kind of roof to choose, what colour, should it be flat or pitched. When you live in a hot climate the answer is clear. A metal cool roof!

A cool roof can reflect sunlight and cools itself by emitting the radiation to its surroundings. Isn’t that cool? The roof literally reduces the amount of heat. Two basic characteristics of the roof are solar reflectance and thermal emittance. It is like wearing a white t-shirt on a hot day, it reflects more sunlight and absorb the heat.

Benefits

reducing energy use – as a building stays cooler, it uses less energy for air conditioning
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution
improving human’s health and make them feel comfortable – cool roofs prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths
extending roof life and lowering roof maintenance costs

Metal cool roofs might be one of the solutions for polluted cities. They have significant environmental benefits besides using cool roofs cool the cities. Increasing workplace productivity and decreasing pollution can be achieved by using metal cool roofs. Cool metal roofs actually last longer than standard ones because a cool roof doesn’t heat up that much.

What’s more cool roofs are typically light in colors so they can perfectly be a part of the architecture for those who might consider it as an important feature. As today’s range of cool roofs is pretty wide and there are a lot of manufacturers, it can be a real challenge to make a good choice.

Shanghai Metal Corporation besides other metal and steel products also offers a roof panel roll forming machine or a roof sheet making machine which are widely used for making various metal roof panels.

Live Clean Or Die Hard

We’ve all seen the pictures of extreme air pollution around China. And the UK had its time in the smog, with the Great Smog of 1952 where it was so bad people died.

However, the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) conducted a study that showed the air quality in the average home is up to five times dirtier than the air outside. Luckily, there is a pretty easy way for improving the indoor air quality of your home – have clean air ducts. Yes, your house has air ducts, just like all the buildings in those blockbuster action films everyone’s seen, only yours are too small for you to play spy in.

Over time, and especially with use, dust and debris start to build up. But they’re not the only things; mold, insects, and even rodents tend to inhabit these tiny passageways, allowing your central air and heat system to spread their filth around your house like they own the place. Needless to say, this can have a largely negative impact on your health.

By getting your air ducts cleaned and your air conditioning maintained and replaced regularly, say once or twice a year, you can do your part to help ensure that it’s healthier for you to breathe inside instead of outside.

Shanghai Metal manufactures galvanized steel sheet used in air conditioning ducts. Shanghai Metal Corporation is the international manufacturer and supplier for three galvanized lines of hot dip galvanized steel. The monthly output for each line is approximately 5000 ton. Our large monthly production and advanced processing facilities promise the quick delivery and superior quality of products for you.
