Liquids Unmapped

Off

Agave syrup, a high fructose natural sweetener 1.4 times sweeter than sugar, is derived from the heart, or piña, of any of several agave species. It is processed and sold in stores as a liquid sweetener and has several applications in food and beverage processing, especially in vegan foods as well as mezcal and tequila production. For syrup production, the hearts are milled to a pulp and then the liquid is separated by crushing or centrifugation. It may be further processed through filtration, activated charcoal, ionic resins or enzymes.

Unlike most of my colleagues I didn’t start out with a mechanical background. While they were studying kinetics and machine design, I was studying digital electronics and industrial power. When I started my career in the world of pumps, I had to learn a whole new set of concepts. What was surprising was that while the terminology may be a bit different, the concepts are very similar. Think of the following as a “Rosetta Stone” for translating the common terms and concepts of fluid systems to your more familiar terms and concepts of electrical systems.
