“STUDY AND FABRICATION OF OUTDOOR MIST/FOG COOLING SYSTEM THROUGH HIGH PRESSU...SHAILESH SHUKLA
High pressure systems work so effectively because of the misting system pump. The pump pushes the water through 1/4″ lines to brass mist nozzles, producing microscopic droplets of water. The fine mist of water droplets hits the hot air and flash evaporates to cool the surrounding space upwards of 10-15 degrees.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Water restrictions, increased
regulation
Drip is often exempt from
restrictions
The need for efficiency is
driving the growth in drip
irrigation
4. Types of Drip Irrigation
Point-Source

planting
configurations
Allow you to put
water near the
plant’s root zone
Dripline
Ideal for densely
planted or narrow
areas
5. Differences vs. Conventional Irrigation
Device flow rates are measured in GPH vs. GPM
Low flow rate equates to reduced erosion and runoff
Low flow rate means more emission devices per valve
Operating pressure window is typically 15-50 psi
Water is typically filtered to 120-200 mesh
Both PVC and/or polyethylene drip tubing may be used

Filtration
–
Necessary to keep emitters clear of dirt and debris
6. Benefits of Drip Irrigation

–
Eliminates run-off ,
overspray and expensive
damage to hardscapes
–
–
Staining – concrete, pavers and
walls
Rotting of wood fences, decks and

better steward of the
environment
8. Benefits of Drip Irrigation
Match the water
application rate to each
plant.
Match the application rate
to the soil’s infiltration
rate.
Apply water directly to the
root zone to reduce
overspray and
evaporation.
Properly designed and
installed dripline systems
can be over 90% efficient.

42. Flushing the system
Flush the system
every two weeks for
the first 6 weeks and
check the water that
is flushed out for
cleanliness.
Establish a regular
flushing schedule for
the future after the
initial checks.
Flush the system well
after any repairs are
made.
44. Overview
All irrigation systems require maintenance
Spray systems tend to be more forgiving than
drip
Maintenance should be regular and consistent
Drip maintenance might be harder to detect
problems
Many of these reasons for using drip irrigation are fairly obvious; but a couple worth noting are that by using drip you can reduce liability.
Another key point that most would agree that drip is the most efficient way to irrigate small spaces. As landscape spaces get larger then someone could easily argue that sprays, honorary nozzles or rotors might be a better option.
Rain Bird’s Drip Irrigation line is a complete line, including:
CONTROL ZONE COMPONENTS that control the flow and pressure of water into the drip zone;
DISTRIBUTION COMPONENTS that get the water from the control zone to the planting area;
EMISSION DEVICES that actually emit the water at or near the root zone of the plant material. This can be done over a large area using BROADCAST devices, or in a very localized area using POINT SOURCE devices.
And of course, Rain Bird’s complete line also includes tools. Xeriman Tool, pipe cutters, punch tools, etc.
