Why water treatment is the most overlooked service in plastics moulding cooling and temperature control — and what it costs when it’s ignored Here is how it typically unfolds. A temperature control unit (TCU) starts causing problems. Parts come off the mould inconsistently. Cycle times creep up. The issues persist for weeks, sometimes months. Eventually, … Read more
Free Cooling: the Most Cost-Effective and Environmentally-Friendly Way to Cool Processes and Buildings Improving the performance of industrial and commercial facilities’ systems is rightly a priority for business organisations. Energy prices continue to rise, a reality that is increasingly uncomfortable—particularly as electricity costs are now 46% higher than the median paid by member countries of … 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. According to the Carbon Trust, “energy saving doesn’t need to be expensive – up to 20% can be cut in many … Read more
Free Cooling is a fast and effective, economic method of using low external air temperatures. It can be used to assist in cooling water for industrial temperature control applications or in HVAC systems. A chiller’s traditional design uses integral compressor technology to generate the cooling required for process and HVAC applications. The use of Free … Read more
