Refrigeration Systems

Industrial refrigeration systems often include air handling, condensing, drying, desiccating and chillers. Refrigeration is classified into two types; positive pressure and negative pressure refrigeration. Positive pressure refrigeration pumps circulate heated water through cooled lines while negative pressure pumps circulate cooled or warm air through cooled lines. In the UK, there are two main types of refrigeration including air-source and water-injected chillers. Air-source refrigeration requires an injection of a refrigerant into the lines to chill the air and remove heat. Water-injected chillers are similar but use water instead of air to chill the water.

It is important to understand how all of these basic refrigeration cycles work. Understanding how each basic refrigeration cycle works is crucial to improving production in any production facility. If a company’s energy supply cannot be adequately controlled, the company could experience a wide range of problems, including overheating and even blackouts. In some cases, the power grid may fail to deliver adequate amounts of energy over a wide geographic area, which could contribute to interruptions to the company’s production. Properly designed refrigeration systems that are properly maintained can help prevent many of these problems.
