SPX Corp. completed the acquisition of SGS Refrigeration Inc. of Dixon, Ill. SGS manufactures and distributes industrial refrigeration products, including industrial evaporators and evaporative condensers, in the North American market.

InterCool USA, an industrial refrigeration design-build firm, acquired the industrial refrigeration division of Freije-RSC, a 50-year-old engineering company with operations in Indiana and Ohio.

Hands-on sessions, workshops, technical presentations, manufacturer sessions, and 13 hours of exhibition hall time are among the highlights of the conference program planned for the 2019 RETA Conference. The 3.5-day conference, planned for October 8-11 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, is reportedly the largest gathering of refrigerating engineers and technicians that offers the length of educational and networking activities and events.

Stellar relocated and reopened its industrial refrigeration parts and compressor shops in Jacksonville, Fla., and Fort Worth, Texas. The fully integrated design-build firm relocated the two shops to larger facilities with upgraded equipment to accommodate growing customer demand.

Industrial refrigeration systems have long taken a standardized approach when it comes to their design and construction. Over time, industrial cooling trended toward no longer being engineered so much as replicated, using decades-old but proven designs. This was the case even for new facilities. Ultimately, the results were that industrial cooling systems were falling behind in terms of available technology.

The pressure-and-temperature relationship for a specific refrigerant is the basis of the operation of our refrigeration system. In this webinar, held today at 2 p.m. (ET), we will spend time looking at the factors that affect the application of this basic principle. We will explain how pressure drop and static head pressure will affect the operation of your system. 

Operators, system engineers and planners will gather June 27-28 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, for the eurammon Symposium 2019. The event, in lectures and a panel discussion, will deal with questions of future-proof solutions in cooling applications.

Designed for installers and service technicians in the industrial refrigeration space, an industrial refrigeration app helps users navigate different product categories and types to find the right spare part kit. They can view images and data sheets, in addition to previously available illustrations and documentation, to see which parts are included and their specifications.

According to this blog from design-build firm Stellar, condensers are one of the most critical elements of a refrigeration system. While optimizing the performance of your condenser is important for reducing energy usage and maintenance costs, you must select the best condenser for your needs when building a new facility.

A case history from Hillphoenix details how the company supplied several industrial systems for a North American customer. In total, 250,000 ft² of refrigeration space was created for a warehouse distribution center.
