Refrigeration systems with natural gases will set the pace for many industries, improving not only energy efficiency but generating a greater commitment to the environment. The importance that these systems are acquiring is reflected in the number of activities, and training in seminars and congresses during 2017, such as those carried out by the IIAR, ASHRAE and Froztec, to name a few institutions and companies.
Why is the compressor so important in your refrigeration system? It might not be that clear to you when making a quote thinking about the best option to keep your products cool, but this equipment is one of the four essential industrial refrigeration system components, specially if we are talking about refrigeration by evaporation.
Not all products are refrigerated and preserved equal. And that is why no industrial refrigeration system is universal or adequate for all.
As the head of the purchase department on a SME you shouldn’t have to turn into an expert, or to be an engineer in order to know which equipment you should buy and implement in your refrigeration system: our responsibility is to give you all the information you need to make a good decision.
To successfully reduce costs in the implementation of a CO2 system, either with the intention of replacing an HFC system or for new installations, it’s essential to start the project from a global approach before starting with the technical part and the specific conditions of the project.
The design of a transcritical CO2 system is a challenge even for a refrigeration expert. The correct implementation and quality of the equipment depends not only on the efficiency, but also on the safety and profitability of the production plant. When evaluating the feasibility of this system in a refrigeration project, it’s convenient to consider these 4 points.
Trying to maintain the ideal temperature for your industrial processes will be very difficult, if not impossible, if you don’t consider adequate control of relative humidity. This relation is this simple: the amount of heat generated in an environment will be considerably affected by the amount of water present in the air.
Controlling the temperature and relative humidity is the most important factor to maintain the quality of the products within the cold chain in food, specifically, in its supply chain, but how much care is put in it to at the time of designing a cooling system?
We have previously raised the difference between these systems because of the better heat transfer properties of water compared to air-cooled chillers. In this entry, we’ll deepen into some technical aspects around the cost proposal and choice of an air-cooled chiller or a water-cooled chiller.
Choosing and installing a refrigeration equipment can be a headache if you don’t have enough information about its features and applications. Having the right equipment will ensure not only greater energy efficiency, but the ability to increase production in the long term.
Sustainability efforts at national and international levels are currently focused on finding substitutes that comply with environmental regulations; ergo, substances that wouldn’t damage the ozone layer and that their global warming potential is zero or very low.
