Energy-Saving Alternatives for Plastics Process Chilling

One chiller manufacturer performed head-to-head comparisons under real-world conditions to determine the differences in efficiencies among fixed-speed, digital-scroll and variable-speed compressors.
Tim Miller, Conair

How Clean Is Your Cooling Water?

Side-stream filtration reduces cooling tower operating and maintenance costs.
Vortisand Engineering Team, Evoqua Water Technologies
October 12, 2018
No Comments

During process cooling, the cooling water absorbs large volumes of airborne particulate while the cooling tower acts as an air scrubber, filtering the surrounding air. With time, these fine particles can build up and settle within the system, adversely affecting cooling performance while lowering the life of wetted subcomponents.

Heat Exchanger Considerations for Cooling Difficult Materials

The key to specifying the correct equipment for your heating or cooling demand is to study your process and material. They will define the type of heat exchanger to use.
Matt Hale, HRS Heat Exchangers
October 10, 2018
No Comments

Industrial applications have numerous requirements for heat exchangers and thermal transfer. Heat exchanger uses span the gamut: compressor and engine cooling, transformer temperature regulation, heat recovery from various processes, and treatment of effluent, digestate and other waste streams, to name a few.

How to Improve Enclosure Cooler Performance

Regular maintenance is the single-most effective way to extend the life of enclosure cooling systems. Taking further steps to optimize your enclosure cooling system, however, will simplify maintenance and extend times between filter changes and enclosure cleaning.
Eleanor Sadler, ISC Sales
