INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION

chiller, for example, can harness cooler outdoor temperatures thanks to its integrated free cooling. In free cooling mode, the multiple scroll


compressors stop, and only the fans are in operation. The unit’s smart controls switch to free cooling based on the needs of the application or climate conditions. Once the temperature exceeds   optimise the chiller’s performance. Thanks to free cooling, energy consumption


is lower, and reliability increases due to reduced strain on mechanical components. This helps to extend the unit’s operational life, further boosting the return on investment and decreasing its carbon footprint.


Recovering wasted heat In many industrial processes, there is room for


improvement when it comes to utilising waste heat. In some industrial processes that run 24/7, an absorption chiller can capture waste heat such as steam or hot water and can recover and reuse it within the same process or other parts of the facility where it may be needed. This heat recovery therefore improves the cooling process by lowering the need for additional energy input which further enhances  costs and minimises the impact on the environment.  Older cooling systems may have used
