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.

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.

Danfoss named Arctic Chiller Group the winner of its 10^th annual EnVisioneer of the Year award competition. Arctic Chiller Group is using Turbocor oil-free magnetic-bearing centrifugal compressors in the development of its air- and water-cooled chillers to reduce first costs of equipment and energy consumption.

One German compressor manufacturer continues to grow and expand. As Bitzer celebrates its 85th anniversary in 2019, the compressor-maker is opening new headquarters in Sindelfingen, Germany.

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

The Solar Impulse Foundation endorsed the Turbocor oil-free compressor as one of the top 1,000 solutions for protecting the environment. Manufactured by Danfoss, the Turbocor compressor has been installed in water- and air-cooled chiller systems more than 68,000 times worldwide, says the company.

Three large compressors have been installed behind a glass wall in the meeting center at Danfoss headquarters in Denmark so customers and guests can see the product in operation. The Turbocor units provide cooling for the ventilation system and other cooling systems in the main office building.
