Italy’s HiRef S.p.A. will use screw compressors manufactured by Bitzer to cool a computing center adiabatically with air-to-air heat exchangers.

Two screw compressor models and a semi-hermetic screw compressor package will be part of a new product launch by GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies in the second quarter.

An ammonia screw compressor package provided a dairy processing plant in India a 20 percent reduction in total cost of ownership, a 15 to 20 percent increase in energy efficiency, and a 50 percent reduction in maintenance, according to the company.

Honeywell UOP selected GEA Refrigeration Technologies to supply engineered compression packages for a tail gas application at a refinery in Azerbaijan. Using GEA's screw compressor, the systems are designed for a modernization program. 

Howden has been awarded a contract with UT-Battelle (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) to supply an oil-free screw compressor system and the variable-frequency drive (VFD) for the Tokamak Cooling Water System (TCWS). Tokamak is a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy.

In the world of process cooling and freezing, there are diverse operations and needs. As such, selecting equipment appropriate to the application is essential if you are to achieve good results.

The V UD-Series is offered in a range of models from 276 to 8,120 cfm (125 to 400 mm). A hydraulically operated slide valve regulates the compressor capacity from 10 percent to full load, and it is engineered to offer improved part-load performance.

The Frick pDrive provides screw compressor reliability integrated with a packaged variable-speed drive. 

BluQ is an ammonia chiller with a semi-hermetic compact screw compressor. The heart of the system is the GEA CompaX, an ammonia screw compressor with suction gas-cooled electric motor.

Bitzer’s CSVH compact screw compressors won the Best Application Compressor award at the Global Logistics Excellence Awards in Hyderabad, India. The inverter-driven compressors are optimized for air-cooled liquid chillers and heat pumps.
