The Vertex evaporative condenser reduces installation costs by 30 percent, says the manufacturer. The evaporative condenser design allows the upper part to be aligned to the lower section in less than 15 minutes per cell.

Camco FMO XL-46 is derived from a blend of polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic lubricant and other synthetic fluids and proprietary additives. 

Combining wet and dry cooling, the Trillium Series optimizes energy and water savings for industrial refrigeration. When the ambient air is below the setpoint, the unit runs as a dry cooler to save water and energy.

Manufacturers and OEMs are replacing the old classes of chemical refrigerants that emit potent greenhouse gases — hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), for instance. 

As the largest exposition dedicated to the ammonia and natural refrigeration industry, the annual IIAR Natural Refrigeration Conference and Expo provides a unique opportunity for engineers, end users, wholesalers, manufacturers and contractors involved in natural refrigeration using ammonia and carbon dioxide to gather, learn and share.

Danfoss was recognized with the Product of the Year award at the 2018 AHR Expo for its Turbocor TTH/TGH high lift compressors. They are designed to give chiller manufacturers a high efficiency, oil-free compressor option for air-cooled chillers, heat recovery and water-to-water heat pumps.

Goodway Technologies, Stamford, Conn., developed calculators to help facility managers determine how much descaler is required. Those responsible for maintenance of chillers, boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, compressors or condensers will benefit.

Danfoss Turbocor Compressors will build a new facility in Tallahassee, Fla., and add 120 new jobs. The plant will expand the company’s existing footprint within Innovation Park in Tallahassee, which includes its engineering and manufacturing operations.

Howden acquired Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment businesses in Europe (Frankenthal, Germany; Helsingoer, Denmark; and Mornago, Italy) and China (Beijing). The company also acquired a Siemens Energy business in Springfield, Mo., to augment its line of compressors, blowers, fans and steam turbines for turbomachinery solutions.

The CO2 ammonia cascade system extends the capabilities of Emerson’s line of Copeland scroll compressors. As EPA regulations continue to evolve, ammonia serves as an energy-efficient offering, using waste heat from a facility’s refrigeration system for other heat and air-conditioning applications.
