Fluid chillers in Australia are used in a variety of different industries, including the food and beverage industry, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and chemical manufacturing sectors. Running on electrical power , this industrial equipment provides critical cooling and temperature control, and utilizing the right type of fluid chiller will optimize productivity, improve efficiency and lower operating costs.  Types of Industrial Fluid Chillers in Australia By Condenser Type   Air-cooled chillers: Air-cooled fluid chillers use the air in the environment around them assisted by fans to remove heat from the refrigerant in the condenser. It then runs the refrigerant back through the system to provide cooling. As a result, the air around these chillers is usually very warm and they are not recommended in applications where this will be an issue. These systems are often portable, available in both large and small-scale commercial versions, are relatively affordable and the he

Diesel generators are loud, with commercial and industrial generators as small as 1,500kW emitting an astonishing 105 decibels – the same as a jet airplane flying overhead. This noise is a form of pollution and disruption on worksites and, to get the benefits of these durable, economic power generators and deliver the electrical power a site needs while minimizing noise means investing in noise reduction technology. Here’s a guide to why this is so important and how these measures work. Noise Pollution Standards in Australia   The EPA in Australia , along with other international bodies like the World Health Organisation have comprehensive industrial guidelines on noise pollution, including community noise and industrial noise prevention.  According to Safe Work Australia , between 28-32% of the Australian workforce is regularly exposed to loud noise levels at work, with the construction industry as one of the leading industries for noise-related injury.

If you have invested in a genset to provide your business or facility with power in the event of a blackout, it’s important to ensure that it’s running properly for your peace of mind. Although this power generation equipment is designed to be robust and require minimal maintenance even in tough operating environments, they do require some care and maintenance in order to perform reliably in a power outage. Here are 5 more common problems that diesel generators can experience and how to prevent them.  Leaks: Fuel leaks can easily occur in diesel generators. Check to ensure the tank is not overfilled and that the pump system is working. Replace any fuel lines that look damaged or cracked. Oil leaks can occur as a result of wet stacking or over-fuelling and is usually the result of working a genset well below its load capacity. This is a serious issue that will require technical expertise, but it can be prevented by correctly sizing your generator for your needs and running

Diesel generators are designed to work demanding hours to supply electrical power under challenging conditions with exceptional reliability and a long lifespan, but even the toughest machines will fail if they are not managed correctly. Here’s how to load a marine generator correctly and why it matters.  Load Matters to Lifespan and Performance in Diesel Generators  In diesel generators, working them gently isn’t good for the machine itself, contrary to what you may think. In fact, regularly running diesel generators under the recommended 60-75% maximum rated load can lead to lasting damage.  What happens is that operation under low load conditions causes low pressure in the marine generator cylinders, which compromises the performance of the piston ring seal. This seal relies on a high combustion gas pressure to force the piston rings against the cylinder bore and without it, the engine doesn’t achieve an optimal temperature to burn fuel efficiently. This leads to a bui
