There are several reasons why correct pipework selection is critical for the performance, efficiency, and reliability of temporary hire systems. ICS Cool Energy recognises that in cooling and heating applications, pipework is more than just a connection between equipment and process. It plays a central role in system performance, efficiency, and reliability. For temporary hire … Read more
The Manufacturer’s Perspective on Energy Efficiency, Compliance and Sustainability In the world of process cooling, selecting the right equipment is no longer just about capacity or initial cost. Increasingly, it’s about energy performance, compliance with evolving regulations, and long-term sustainability. That’s where the Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) becomes a critical factor, particularly for plant … Read more
Efficiency, reliability, and longevity are critical considerations in managing closed-circuit process chillers. While these units form the backbone of commercial and industrial cooling systems, their performance depends heavily on proactive and informed maintenance, especially regarding water treatment. Ignoring or inadequately managing water quality can significantly diminish system performance and drive up operational costs. Effective water … Read more
Summer can be an unreliable season, often bringing unexpected heatwaves. Just as an overheated car engine can cause significant issues, the loss of cooling capability from industrial chillers and cooling towers during hot weather can lead to substantial problems for manufacturers. These can include excessive downtime, damaged chiller parts, and product wastage. To prevent unexpected … Read more
Understanding SEER and its role in reducing annual operating costs and environmental impact of cooling and heating systems. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is an important metric representing an uniform way of expressing seasonal energy use of a chiller over a typical year with fluctuating outdoor air temperatures and varying capacity demand by the user. … Read more
As the winter season approaches, temporary ice rinks are a central attraction across UK’s towns and cities. Many businesses are already in full speed preparing for these seasonal events, which nationwide deliver thousands of square metres of real ice every year. For all, ensuring the ice is maintained in top condition for a smooth and … Read more
Refrigeration accounts for a high proportion of overall site energy costs, most notably cooling for food, drink, chemical, and pharmaceutical processes where up to 90% of energy costs can be accounted for by refrigeration. Top 5 tips to help reduce costs in process cooling systems 1. Keep your chilled system maintained frequently Industrial and process … Read more
At its core, a chiller is a refrigeration system designed to remove heat through a vapor-compression, absorption, or adsorption refrigeration cycle. The primary objective is to cool a fluid or dehumidify air in an industrial or commercial setting. Simply put, a chiller is a machine that cools things down. It removes heat from a liquid … Read more
Summer is an unreliable season and hot weather tends to surprise us – usually during the working week when we have little time to enjoy it. Like overheating the engine in your car, the loss of cooling capability from industrial chillers and cooling towers during hotter weather can create huge problems for manufacturers such as … Read more
Reducing energy consumption is a crucial component of our global effort to reduce carbon emissions. The more efficient we can make our processes, the lower our carbon output and the more sustainable we become. In industry, there is not one golden rule to reduce consumption, rather it’s a combination of multiple small wins, that when … Read more
