Cooling-as-a-Servicepresents an innovative approach for those looking to meet their cooling demand: the possibility to outsource cooling instead of acquiring and managing cooling equipment.

Pressure testing is a procedure used to verify the strength, integrity and leak tightness of piping systems and pressure-containing equipment before commissioning or during maintenance. It involves applying a controlled test pressure to identify potential leaks, defects or weaknesses. Pressure testi[..]

An ammonia chiller is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly refrigeration technologies used in industrial cooling today. By using ammonia (R717) as a refrigerant, these systems provide high-performance cooling while minimizing environmental impact and operating costs. As industries [..]

Table of contents What is data center refrigeration? How does data center cooling work? 3 key data center refrigeration systems and technologies 1. Air cooling 2. Free cooling 3. Liquid cooling Energy efficiency in data center refrigeration systems Within a brief period, data center refrigeration ha[..]

Green ammonia has gained attention as a potential solution for decarbonizing the global ammonia industry.

Despite their differences, Variable Frequency Drives and Soft Starters are key equipment components in the world of industrial refrigeration.

The rising use of ammonia as a green fuel emerges within a broader global context characterized by a growing urgency to address climate change and transition towards sustainable energy systems.

The refrigeration cycle removes unwanted heat from one place and discharges that heat in another area. The process is accomplished, in short, by the pumping of refrigerant through a closed system. This system is composed of several components which enable the process to work. In the realm of industr[..]

From power generation to refrigeration systems, the centrifugal compressor is living a golden age as a piece of equipment. In a context in which achieving the maximum efficiency has become a much sought-after target, the centrifugal compressor has become a key component of many systems. Here’s a loo[..]

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[..]
