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
A manufacturer was struggling to maintain suitable water/glycol temperature to cool their Switch Room because their incumbent dry-air liquid cooler had seen better days (pictured left). As a result of the temperature control issues effecting their cooling equipment, they were losing £££ on days when the ambient temperature approached the mid 20’s. So they contacted … Read more
A 900kW (nominal) air cooled rental chiller being ‘lifted & shifted’ into position at a food processors manufacturing facility. The chiller lowered the site water temperature by 10⁰C, which in turn increased their throughput; equalling an additional £60k of products manufactured every 24hrs! For a small outlay, ICS Cool Energy have helped this customer exceed … Read more
