Developing an industrial process chiller system for low temperature applications has many challenges, but it can be — and has been — done. This article discusses common challenges and shares insights into research that was used to design a chiller system that operates to -45°F (-43°C) fluid temperatures. 

Refrigeration and compressors are designed for use in the presence of flammable and explosive gases and dusts. The hermetically sealed compressors are based on quiet, compact scroll and reciprocating technologies.

GEA opened a service location in Patterson, Calif., to service its industrial refrigeration customers in western North America.

Danfoss expanded the capabilities of Turbocor compressors TTS and TGS with a higher saturated suction temperature operating range to help OEMs bring the benefits of oil-free technology to data centers operating at higher temperatures.

The company’s smallest capacity four-cylinder Discus III compressors, Models 4DA/4DE are intended for environmental chambers and process chillers, among other uses.

Minimized noise, vibrations and pulsations, and reduced maintenance requirements, are among the features of a line of subcritical compressors intended for industrial low temperature applications in cold stores and the food industry.

When most hear the terms “Internet of Things” or “IoT,” they think of readily available gadgets that can remotely control their home’s climate, play their favorite songs or automatically adjust their backyard smoker based on the temperature of the brisket.

Industrial refrigeration systems perform essential functions in food and beverage manufacturing and storage. The heart of the industrial refrigeration system is the compressor, and should the compressor need maintenance, time is of the essence.

Cook Compression opened a satellite service facility in Sicily, Italy, that will support the rapid reconditioning of compressor valves for ISAB S.r.l. and other refineries in the region. ISAB awarded Cook Compression a multi-year contract to provide technical support, reconditioning and upgrades for reciprocating compressor valves.

Danfoss has been named a winner of three 2020 AHR Expo Innovation Awards. The company won in the cooling (interlaced microchannel heat exchanger), green building (Turbocor TG490 compressor) and refrigeration (CO₂ adaptive liquid management solution) categories.
