Scaling hydrogen and carbon-capture technologies requires vacuum equipment that performs reliably under real-world industrial conditions. The Busch Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of ...

Leak detection is an essential part of the fuel cell production process for hydrogen-powered vehicles. Due to the high safety risks inherent with the use of hydrogen gas, leak detection is well ...

Recently, a manufacturer of pouch-style batteries for EVs approached Spectro Physics to see if the company could help test ...

Bipolar plates – the backbone of proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell stacks – have become somewhat of a leak test problem for manufacturers in the fuel cell field. Considering the ...

One of the most difficult tuning problems to overcome is the seemingly ever-present engine vacuum leak. Vacuum is an important component of the internal-combustion process because it controls basic ...

When we think of a vacuum leak we generally think of a car that just doesn’t want to run quite right. Most normally aspirated internal combustion engines rely on the vacuum created by the pistons to ...

In my 35-plus years of working on cars, I have encountered nearly every frustrating troubleshooting problem in the book. Part of the issue stems from my affinity for old Jeeps and classic cars, which ...

Heat treatment is a common procedure used across multiple industries, for example with the purpose of hardening metals. However, when heat is applied in a furnace, products may react with the oxygen ...

In this video, I discuss the challenges of locating a vacuum leak in a car and demonstrate how to create a smoke test machine.
