AIR CONDITIONING, COOLING & VENTILATION
Size does matter – especially when it comes to pipes in process temperature control
There are several reasons why correct pipework selection is critical for the performance, efficiency, and reliability of temporary hire systems according to ICS Cool Energy
T
he specialist in complete temperature control solutions for manufacturing process and facilities applications, recognises that in cooling and heating applications, pipework
is more than just a connection between equipment and process. It plays a central role in system performance, efficiency, and reliability. For temporary hire equipment, selecting the right pipework is especially important, just as asking the right questions to your supplier (See sidebar). In permanent installations, pipework is designed to meet the plant’s exact specifications. Temporary systems, however, often involve different fluids, operating pressures, and the need for quick installation and removal. In these cases, unsuitable pipe size, material, or layout can reduce efficiency, increase operating costs, and risk unplanned downtime. In process temperature control, the choice of pipework has a direct impact on system performance. The wrong specification can lead to a range of problems. Compatibility issues are common, especially when connecting to a hired system. Process mediums such as oils, solvents, or other
thermal fluids may have previously been cooled with alternative refrigerant systems. When these are linked to hire units, which typically use water or water-glycol mixtures and may feature different heat exchangers, material compatibility needs careful consideration.
