Process Cooling in Summer: 5 Questions to Expose the Strategic Blind Spot Industry Can’t Afford to Ignore

by

Every summer, the industry is facing the same challenge:  unpredictable temperatures and completely predictable pressure on cooling systems. As heat loads rise, your equipment works harder, runs longer, and carries more of the production burden. And when that happens, any weakness in your cooling infrastructure becomes impossible to ignore. If you’re running a manufacturing line, … Read more

Brace Yourself: Summer is Coming. Reduce the Risk of Heat‑Related Downtime Now

by

While many of us welcome the first long‑awaited rays of sunshine after a long winter, for manufacturing site managers the warmer months bring a period of intense preparation. According to the Met Office, average UK summer maximum temperatures generally sit in the low‑20s Celsius across much of the country, but recent years have shown how … Read more

Turning Low Ambient Temperatures into Savings.

Meeting the Pressures of Modern OEM Design. Why Accredited Cooling Systems Make the Difference

by

Tight budgets, compressed timelines, and rising expectations: how OEMs can help ensure reliability and performance of their solutions through smarter cooling partnerships. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are under constant pressure to deliver machines that are not only technically robust but also innovative, reliable, and cost-effective. A match made in heaven, as they say. Whether designing … Read more

Size Does Matter – Especially When It Comes to Pipes in Process Temperature Control

by

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

Why Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) Matters for Process Cooling.

by

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

The Hidden Costs of Poor Water Treatment in Cooling Systems

by
WATER QUALITY EXAMPLE

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

Preparing Your Chiller for Summer

by
summer chiller hire and service

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

Why SEER Matters for Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Reduced Total Costs of Ownership in Chillers

by

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
