New Refrigeration or Cooling System

Solution: technologies... and all-round services.

There are of course many technical solutions available.

• Low or very low temperatures? Chillers, perhaps with free-cooling mechanism for energy rationalisation.
• Medium temperatures? A dry cooler, possibly with adiabatic mode, may “suffice”.
• Need regular high temperature fluids for the moulds? A thrmoregulation unit with accompanying direct cooling may do the trick.

Perhaps the most important component, however, is service: listening to your plant requirements, even through site visits, is what a refrigeration consultant must do before the development phase. Having a single point of contact for the entire project is certainly an advantage: not only for design and installation, but also for suggesting best practices in gas management (in the case of chillers) and routine maintenance.

The extra gear: testing and acceptance of the system

Do you want to be sure that your refrigeration or cooling system (or temperature controller) will work at its best and require little maintenance in the future? It is important that the supplier tests all components.

Here are some of the steps in a typical testing and commissioning:

• Pressure test (for chillers)
• Vacuum test and drying test (for chillers)
• Hydraulic test (for all systems)
• Electrical test (for all systems)
• Thermodynamic test (for all systems)
