Capital Cooling rebrands
F
ollowing a refreshed operational focus, Capital Cooling has now launched revitalised branding and a new online platform. Capital Cooling was founded back in 1996 and quickly developed its reputation as a leading supplier of bespoke and off-the-shelf refrigeration, freezers and coldrooms. At the end of 2017, the company was transformed and restructured.
The initial restructuring was followed by the appointment of new chief executive, Steve Steadman, in November last year, bringing over 30 years of blue-chip and industry manufacturer experience.
As chief executive, Mr Steadman is utilising his commercial business and industry knowledge to transform the previous operation.
“Capital Cooling has already been through an extraordinarily rapid transformation,” he said. “Between myself and the fantastic team we have here in Edinburgh, we are all working hard to take our operation to the next level. “The rebrand is just part of this and it mirrors the new vision we have for the UK
market. This, along with a new website, forms a wider strategy which aims to solidify our place as a prominent supplier within the equipment industry.”
Since joining, Mr Steadman has brought on board seven team members across all areas of the business including finance, sales, research and development, and project management. Capital Cooling’s brand new website has also been launched. Mr Steadman said: “Our recently launched new website reflects our commitment
to our customers. It provides the perfect online gateway between our team and customer base, allowing clients to discover product information and contact details for our Edinburgh HQ.” Capital Cooling is now expected to look to new markets within the foodservice industry. The brand currently offers a selection of multidecks, display chillers and freezers, storage chillers and freezers, bar refrigeration, coldrooms and more.

globalFACT tackles refrigeration realities
T
here is more to consider than low global warming potential (GWP) when considering environmental sustainability. This and other pressing issues are covered in the Refrigerant Realities: Six Things You Need to Know podcast from the Global Forum for Advanced Climate Technologies (globalFACT). This first podcast in the globalFACT Forum series addresses the challenges faced by the HVACR sector in relation to the HFC phase-down, environmental impact, and misperceptions about the options available to users today. Additional ‘Refrigerant Realities’ covered:
■ There is not one refrigerant solution for all situations
■ HFC regulation is driving transition ■ HFOs and low GWP HFCs are viable low GWP options and here for the long-term
■ There is more to consider than just GWP when considering environmental sustainability
■ GWP does not tell the whole story ■ Low GWP alone is not enough to minimise environmental impact
“There are a lot of questions and uncertainty in the industry around how to meet regulatory requirements, what solutions are viable, and what to factor into the decision-making process,” said globalFACT executive director Jordan Smith. “In reality, more lower GWP refrigerant options exist than you might think, and it is important to keep focus on all the factors that come into play when making these decisions.”
The podcast is the latest resource from globalFACT and follows the release of the group’s white paper, Selecting the Right Refrigerant for Commercial Refrigeration, as well as its Cost and Efficiency Calculator.

hen warm, moist air comes into contact with either a surface or air that is colder than it is, the warm air is unable to retain all its moisture and the water is released either into the cold air or onto the colder surface, causing condensation to form.
In an industrial or commercial context - for example food processing or storage, drug manufacturing, sports facilities or the conservation of valuable items - this condensation can result in a variety of problems such as deterioration in quality, slower production times or malfunction of machinery. In all cases this can cost companies a lot of extra expenditure, and indeed many could make huge savings by controlling the optimum humidity.
Dehumidification, whether it be desiccant or refrigerant, can be designed and installed into a building to achieve these optimum and stable conditions.
By evaluating each process and understanding the application, the correct system can be designed to control the Relative Humidity levels in the environment resulting in the most efficient and effective solution. Lindsey Henderson, sales manager, Humidity Solutions
