With the increasing need for refrigeration, compressors are being developed in numbers and with better technology. However, the basics still stand. With the many refrigeration compressor types available, selecting one for your application can be overwhelming. Some factors to consider for the best un[..]

It is very rare not to find a heat exchanger in a modern industrial plant. The heat exchangers are so critical to the plant’s operations that they may even determine the overall energy efficiency. Designing a good heat exchanger encompasses maintainability and types of fluids used, but we will try t[..]

What is an ideal industrial refrigerant? There is no absolute answer to this question. No refrigerant fits the requirements 100 % for all cooling plants. An ideal refrigerant would need to have it all in terms of material compatibility, chemical stability, performance, non-toxicity, non-flammability[..]

We frequently use ammonia refrigeration systems for very large cooling applications, such as Industrial Refrigeration. Chillers using ammonia are becoming commonplace in green buildings and may be a viable option for District Cooling systems. As refrigerant legislation continues to get tighter, enco[..]

The debate over what is “the best” commercial refrigerant has been around and is unlikely to end anytime soon. Intensity on this matter is even increasing as leakage studies reveal the adverse effects of HFC emissions. The only way out for centralized systems is emissions reduction, which while poss[..]

The original design of an absorption chiller is credited to the likes of Ferdinand Carré, Carl Munters and Baltzar Von Platen, renowned scientists who did their works between the 1850s and 1920s. While the products were first produced commercially in 1923, it was only in the 60s that serious product[..]

Pressure tests are a non-destructive way to guarantee the integrity of equipment such as pressure vessels, pipelines, plumbing lines, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks. It is required by the piping codes to confirm that a piping system is able to bear its rated pressure and it has no leaks. Pres[..]

The whole world is experiencing a big and unavoidable change in terms of lifestyle and work habits. New technologies, machine learning, IoT (Internet of Things) and the upcoming establishment of the 5G technology is creating an extremely big amount of digital data; and here it is where the data cent[..]

About 25% of greenhouse effect emanates from the industrial sector, either directly or indirectly. Construction, food processing, mining and manufacturing are key industrial subsectors where diverse processes result in direct CO2 emissions. Power and heat require a lot of fossil fuel combustion. Pro[..]

By now, you probably know that ARANER is a global brand in matters Industrial Refrigeration Engineering. The firm provides efficient energy solutions, a full range of standard or customized products as well as tailor-made professional solutions and services in a minimal amount of time. In the course[..]

  The healthcare industry consumes loads of energy and release a lot of waste into the environment. Equipment working on a 24/7 basis- ICU machines, CT scanners- and at full power mode is unavoidable. Some healthcare managers opine that reducing environmental impact and lowering electricity bills re[..]

There are many options available for generating chilled water. Perhaps none does so more efficiently than the water-cooled chiller, an essential part of Industrial Refrigeration. A water-cooled chiller is designed specifically to remove heat from a cooling system and transfer that heat elsewhere. Wa[..]
