Properly cleaning and maintaining chiller systems may be even more important this year, says cleaning systems manufacturer Goodway Technologies, Stamford, Conn., because some facilities may have experienced periodic shutdowns or closures over the past year and a half.

An indoor cannabis cultivation facility in Massachusetts ordered three 400-ton chillers from Tecogen Inc., Waltham, Mass.

In high ambient temperature conditions like those found in metal-heating applications, electrical enclosures need cooling units in order to enhance performance and prevent failure. The acceptable operating temperature for most electrical devices exceeds 104°F (40°C).

The Quantech QWC4 water-cooled screw chiller has been added to Johnson Controls’ chiller portfolio. It utilizes R-134a refrigerant, which has no ozone-depletion potential.

A chiller system is one that must be hard-wired, moved with equipment (rather than human power) and generally has more than 5 tons of cooling capacity.

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. 

When modern machines run at higher speeds, they use more energy. This generally results in the liberation of more heat. In most printing applications, excess heat is a problem.

A gathering of process cooling products.

With the launch of the TCX 4-90A chiller range, Atlas Copco extended its industrial portfolio to include process cooling equipment. The company plans to introduce more products to the market in 2021 and extend the range to include higher cooling capacities.
