Nowadays, industrial control panels are being installed closer to the processes they are monitoring. Many of these panels are designed for installation outdoors and exposed to the elements.
An ammonia leak detection system integrated with cloud-based refrigerant monitoring software combine to help keep ammonia leaks to a minimum for a frozen food processor.
Greenyard Frozen has more than 50 years of experience in providing fresh-frozen fruits and vegetables. At its King’s Lynn production site in the United Kingdom — one of the company’s 10 sites across Europe — Greenyard Frozen needed a robust refrigerant leak detection and notification system.
Two case studies highlight ways evaporative cooling is used in the process industries to reduce the impact of heat-generating equipment such as paint ovens and plastic-molding equipment.
Evaporative cooling has been around for centuries. Also called adiabatic cooling (particularly in Europe), evaporative cooling is the earliest form of air-side cooling known to man. In spite of that, it also is probably the least understood — and sometimes maligned — solution to cooling.
The mechanical rooms in large multi-building industrial facilities are the hub of process temperature and climate control. Areas such as central utility plants, boiler and chiller rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, and fuel rooms house myriad process cooling and heating equipment as well as systems for comfort heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and systems.
Series GS-400 supports safety compliance inside of machinery rooms, mechanical equipment rooms, chiller plants, cold storage facilities and walk-in freezers by monitoring for refrigerant leaks for numerous gases, including HFCs, HFOs, HCFCs, CO2 and NH3 (ammonia).
Ammonia detection systems are designed to save lives and reduce product loss. However, their effectiveness is greatly reduced if they react with frequent false alarms.
Did you know that 3 million workplace injuries occur each year? Many of these injuries could have been avoided if facilities treated every day like they were preparing for an OSHA inspection.
Based on a digital platform that provides multiple communication and integration options, the line of fixed gas detectors includes basic to heavy-duty models with sensor technology to match the specific refrigerant, application and safety requirements of the refrigeration system.
I spent one summer during my college years working in a meat-packing plant. My job was to stand adjacent to a conveyor line, wearing multiple layers of clothing and gloves, and pack stacks of frozen hamburger patties in a box. As long as I kept up with the feed of burgers traveling toward me interminably, I was doing a good job.
GCAP's Ammonia Safety Day is June 14, 2018. Vendor and participant registration at this link. This will be the largest safety day to year and celebrating the 10-annual event and anticipated over 400 attendees. Limited seating for participants and vendors.
