Abstract: The electricity shortage lasting for several months in 2011 is a big challenge for China's electromechanical companies. This year's power shortage is not only rarely seen in the off-season of previous years, but also it is fierce and lasting for a long time. Many electromechanical companies have been starving for a long time.
However, the high price of coal has severely hit many coal-fired power plant enthusiasm. It is still unknown when this power shortage will continue. It can be foreseen that the winter that should have been the off-season for electricity use will also inevitably lead to power shortages this year, and electromechanical companies will likely continue to experience "worst and cold" and experience "winter".
It is reported that in some provinces, the enthusiasm of the power generation enterprises for Yancoal this year is not high, and the number of coal storage days for many power plants is only about 10 days. Prior to the winter coal storage phase, power plants generally stored more than 30 days of coal reserves. According to industry sources, high coal prices make coal costs account for more than 80% of the operating costs of power plants. High coal prices almost zero the profit margin of power plants. The profit margin of power plants is often that many power generation companies choose to generate electricity or shut down. critical point.
The electromechanical enterprises are mostly high-energy-consuming enterprises. The dependence on energy is relatively high. The persistent shortage of power will inevitably limit the production of electromechanical enterprises. In this regard, electromechanical companies should prepare for the early outbreak of electricity shortage in winter.
According to the experience of power shortage in summer this year, many electromechanical companies often use electricity generators to “self-rescue†during power shortages. Although the cost of generating electricity will be higher than the cost of electricity purchase, many companies will not be able to guarantee production. Without the use of a generator, the price of the generator also rose accordingly. For an electromechanical company that still has a large demand for electricity in the winter, timely purchase of generators for its own situation will help the company face the power shortage.
At the same time, companies should also assess their own actual production capacity according to their own circumstances, and should not take orders at any time when there is a risk of power shortage, and prevent themselves from being placed in a more passive position due to the power shortage. It is also an effective method to ease the difficulty of power supply for the coordination of electricity use by sub-modules of different sizes, and for enterprises to achieve reasonable application on the basis of existing electricity.
The severe energy shortage not only brought great pressure on the electromechanical companies. Xiao Bian found that even some netizens expressed their opinions on the Internet and expressed concern that prices of electricity will rise.
In this regard, for the mechanical and electrical enterprises that produce energy-consumption products, they may also wish to take advantage of the trend of energy-saving and emission-reduction and increase the research, development, and promotion of energy-saving products. In view of people’s concerns about rising electricity prices and the penetration of energy-saving and low-carbon concepts in society, energy-saving electromechanical products may have great market potential.
Rice Cooker
Rice Cooker
A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen appliance
designed to boil or steam rice. It consists of a heat source, a cooking bowl,
and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature of the cooking bowl
and controls the heat. Complex rice cookers may have many more sensors and
other components, and may be multipurpose. Cooking rice has traditionally
required constant attention to ensure the rice was cooked properly, and not
burnt. Electric rice cookers automate the process by mechanically or
electronically controlling heat and timing, thus freeing up a heating element
on the cooking range that had to be otherwise occupied for rice cooking.
Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process,
with an electric rice cooker the cook's involvement in cooking rice is reduced
to simply measuring the rice, preparing the rice properly and using the correct
amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked
with no further attention.
Features:
For modern home
rice cookers, the smallest single-person model cooks 1 rice cup (180 ml),
whereas large models can cook 10 cups. Commercial models can cook 20 or more
cups. As a possible source of confusion, model specifications and names may
list either cooked or uncooked capacity. Rice roughly doubles in size during
cooking; therefore, a 10 cup (uncooked) rice cooker can produce up to 20 cups
of cooked rice. The prices vary greatly, depending on the capacity, features,
materials used, and the country of origin.
The majority of
modern electric rice cookers are equipped with a stay-warm or keep-warm feature,
which keeps the rice at an optimal temperature for serving without over-cooking
it. Some gas cookers also have electric stay-warm mechanism. However, the
usefulness of this feature degrades over time, a microwave may be more energy
efficient or better suited to reheat rice that will sit longer than four hours.
Some rice
cookers use induction heating, with one or more induction heaters directly
warming the pot. This can improve energy efficiency.
Most modern
rice cookers use aluminium for the inner cooking bowl. There are some models
that use stainless steel instead of aluminium. Various other materials, such as
copper, pure carbon, ceramic, and diamond powder coating, may be used for
higher heat conductivity or better taste.
The
pressure-cooking models can raise the water's boiling point higher, e.g., from
100 °C at 1.0 atm up to about 110 °C at 1.4 atm, which speeds cooking. The
pressure-cooking models can also be used in high altitude areas, where the
boiling temperature is below 100 Celsius. Pressure cookers are also suitable
for cooking brown rice (which contains oils and bran fiber that cook
differently from pure white rice starch). Some pressure rice cookers have a
varying pressure control mechanism (named the "dual-pressure" method)
that creates repeated pressure/release cycles during the cooking.
There also
exist mechanisms to collect and return the boiled over liquid to the inner rice
bowl.
Many cookers now have microprocessor-controlled cooking cycles, which are often used to adjust for rice and
cooking type.
Applications
Rice cookers are typically used for the preparation of plain or
lightly seasoned rice. Each rice cooker model may be optimized to cook a
certain type of rice best. For example, most Japanese rice cookers are
optimized for cooking Japanese rice and may not be the best for other types of
rice[citation needed], although cooking time can be lengthened simply by more
water.
The typical method of cooking long grain rice
is boil-and-strain and/or steaming method. The absorption method used in
Japanese rice cookers will produce slightly different texture and taste,
usually stickier rice.
Brown rice generally needs longer cooking
times than white rice, unless it is broken or flourblasted (which perforates
the bran).
Different varieties of rice need different
cooking times, depending on their grain size, grain shape, and grain
composition. There are three main types of Asian rice: Oryza sativa subsp.
indica, i.e., Indian rice (long grain rice, e.g., basmati rice and Thai jasmine
rice), O. sativa subsp. javanica, i.e., Java rice (large grain rice) and O.
sativa subsp. japonica, i.e., Japanese rice (medium grain rice, e.g., Calrose
rice, short grain rice, e.g., most Japanese rice and risotto rice).
African rice, Oryza glaberrima, is an entirely
separate species, but can be cooked in the same way. Zizania is not even in the
same genus, although it is often called a rice (or "water oats"); it,
too, can also be cooked in a rice cooker.
A
rice cooker can be used to cook many boiled or steamed granular foods, such as
pot barley, bulgar wheat, and dal. Provided the ingredients have similar
cooking times, a rice cooker can cook mixtures such as khichdi. Some rice
cookers can be used as automated couscoussiers, cooking couscous and a stew
simultaneously.
