Industrial lighting has always been around and most definitely has its time and place in any company that needs it. It is used to either protect valuable equipment or to provide general lighting for the entire workplace. Either way, it has its place. And it will most certainly stay that way for a very long […]
Industrial heaters have come a long way since they were first invented more than a century ago. Today they are some of the most states of the art heating systems on the market. They offer many benefits that have made them a top choice for businesses large and small. In this article, we will take […]
What exactly do air compressors do? Air compressors are mechanical devices that increase airflow by compressing or pressurising air into a larger space. In other words, they can be thought of as large, tank-like vehicles that suck air in and use it to fill a large space. Air compressors work in a very simple way: […]
An electrical control panel, in its simplest form, is simply a collection or combination of electrical devices that work together to control the various functions of industrial machinery and other equipment. This type of control panel is typically housed in a cabinet that protects the equipment or machinery. The cabinet is then connected to electrical […]
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.
Ammonia refrigeration systems are vital components of most industrial processes. The elements used in the process can damage plant equipment and even affect the processing itself. As such, companies have to stay up-to-date on certain parts and the latest best practices to make sure that their systems stay efficient and productive for their specific needs. […]
CO 2 refrigeration systems are a very important consideration for any manufacturing facility. The importance of using cost efficient refrigerant in these facilities is undeniable and can save millions of dollars a year. A major challenge in the field of refrigerant transportation is the handling, storage, and transportation of this highly critical refrigerant. This is […]
To find ways to conserve energy and increase productivity, industrial engineers meticulously study industry-specific product requirements. Most industrial engineers have at least a bachelor’s degree in their chosen field. Companies also appreciate good, on-the-job experience, so most graduate-level engineering degrees are helpful. However, it is important to note that engineering professionals who are hired for […]
Refrigerants are the most important of all gases used in industrial refrigeration systems. They are particularly required in order to keep the products inside the refrigerators at a constant temperature. Refrigerants are widely used in refrigeration because they have excellent chemical properties and an excellent life span. They also have very low vapour pressure and […]
