The essential role of refrigeration was cited in a published Activity Report by the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) as key to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

ISG has expanded and bolstered its food and industrial business unit through the acquisition of Golden Industrial Refrigeration (GIR) of Milwaukee. According to ISG, the addition of refrigeration design allows the full-service architecture, engineering and planning firm to provide a greater range of services to its existing clients.

Selecting the right fan that delivers excellent performance and efficiency is complex. This article explores some of the important considerations to help engineers and others minimize delays and get the best fan performance for their application.

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. 

BioLife Solutions Inc. signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Global Cooling Inc., which is operating as Stirling Ultracold, a privately held manufacturer of ultra low temperature mechanical freezers.

The Lumity supervisory control platform is designed to simplify operational complexities by enabling top-down visibility and control of all systems within a network.

The Vostok line of ultra-low temperature freezers can continuously store biological materials such as viruses, germs and sperm, at temperatures as low as -123°F (-86°C) with ±0.1°C accuracy.

How have new rules and regulations aimed at curbing the spread of COVD-19 affected food manufacturing and industrial refrigeration stakeholders? That is the focus of a one-hour webinar on March 25 at 2 p.m. ET hosted by the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration.

Due to the extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and state regulations in Illinois, the Process Heating & Cooling Show has been postponed to June 15-16, 2022, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. This inaugural event, which is being produced by BNP Media’s Process Heating and Process Cooling magazines, was originally scheduled to take place June 2021.

A course focusing on industrial refrigeration as practiced in food freezing and in other low temperature applications will be presented in a virtual format due to COVID-19. Hosted by the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration, the 54th industrial refrigeration workshop will be held virtually on March 8-18.
