Evapoway is designed to help companies with the evaporation of frost and condensate where no drain is available or practical. The electric condensate evaporators have passed rigorous testing and are UL recognized.

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.
