PACKAGED PRODUCT VS ENGINEERED SKID
WHAT IS PACKAGED PRODUCT? Packaged products are built and function for everyday applications – it does what it says on the tin. However, this means that they are engineered so that they can’t be changed for customisations and therefore, have limitations when it comes to individual customer requirements. Packaged products can be said to be ‘off … Continued
Free Cooling works with either a chiller with a built-in free cooling coil or a free cooler working in series with a chiller. The latter is more efficient, due to the larger surface area provided by the free cooler. System design will largely depend on your cooling demands and the footprint of your site. Cooling … Continued
Chiller selection requires a great deal of technical knowledge as refrigeration technology has changed considerably in the last 20 years. If you’re considering replacing a chiller which has come to the end of its lifespan, looking to upgrade to a more efficient chiller or designing a new system, its imperative that your project specification is … Continued
Reduce Manufacturing Costs – Boost Your Green Credentials Energy consumption is typically the single biggest cost for manufacturers. In 2014, the UK’s energy consumption was equivalent to 142.8 million tonnes of oil, of which certain industrial groups consumed 24 million tonnes alone – a little under a fifth of the total[1]. It will come as … Continued
Refrigerant selection has become an extremely complex task with F-gas legislation requiring a reduction in the use of HFC refrigerants and a move towards the use of refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP). There is no off-the shelf solution when it comes to refrigerants, particularly for low temperature applications. It’s a balancing act between … Continued
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 … Continued
Advantages of a Manufacturing Summer Shutdown For many, summertime means relaxing holidays. But for manufacturers, it can be a chance to take stock whilst production demand eases. Many industrial businesses take advantage of “summer shutdowns” – a mandatory pause on operations which may seem like a risk to profits, but carried out effectively can help reduce … Continued
The British 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 … Continued
Space for temperature control equipment can often be an issue, particularly for sites in built up areas. This is often a challenge for many of our customers. Watch this short video to see how we made it work for a well-known health club brand at one of their London sites recently. If you have a … Continued
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 … Continued
