A Guide to Different Types of Commercial and Industrial Fluid Chillers

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. 

Fluid Chiller Condenser

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 heat can be used to warm a separate space if needed. They are slightly noisy due to the fans and tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan than some other types of fluid chillers in Australia, including water-cooled versions. 
  • Water-cooled chillers: Water-cooled chillers are more commonly used in commercial and industrial applications, using an external water tower to cool a gas refrigerant in the condenser. The cooled refrigerant turns into liquid form and is then recirculated to provide cooling. They are highly-efficient (providing significant electrical power savings), quiet while in operation, available for large and small commercial-scale applications, and portable versions are available. However, they are more costly to install and maintain because the system consists of a lot more additional industrial equipment, and they require water which is not always advisable in areas with water shortages. 
Which Chiller Type is Best for Your Application? 

Air-cooled chillers need access to a constant supply of fresh air, so they can only be installed outdoors, which water-cooled chillers can be installed in indoor spaces. If the ambient temperature in your outdoor environment is very high, a water-cooled chiller will be more effective than an air-cooled one, as they can be installed in hot, mechanical spaces with little ventilation. They are also more compact than air-cooled units of a similar capacity, so they can be more appropriate for commercial or industrial sites with limited space.

Why Cat Generators Are One Of The Best

We are big fans of Caterpillar generators.  They are better known as Cat generators .  Leaders in the generator industry, you can never go wrong with a Cat rental .  With so many kinds of generators, different models all running on different fuels, it's a big world.  Generators are excellent for energy storage .  We use them in times of crisis, as back-up options and for rural purposes.  There are many uses for a generator, it can be quite difficult when it comes to choosing the right one.  We recommend the Caterpillar generators for several reasons, as outlined below. Generators aren't toys We don't research a Cat rental for fun.  Cat generators are not toys and not for playing.  That said, some may say generators are like toys for the grown men.  Generators work to provide an energy storage bank so that when they're needed, energy is available.  Generators are an expensive item that, if looked after, can last for ...

Popular types of industrial coolers

From foods to the minerals industry, a variety of companies use industrial coolers as the portable generator to add efficiency to material processing. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, there are two popular types your business can choose from such as a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. This article will provide some basic understanding of these generator sets . Rotary cooler A rotary cooler is a robust and long-lasting industrial cooling solution. The main advantage they have to offer is their heavy-duty drum construction. The robustness of a rotary drum accepts a broad range of feedstock at a high capacity, making it the workhorse of the bulk solids processing industry for both drying and cooling procedures. Rotary coolers use a counter-current air-flow design, along with ambient or chilled air, to efficiently cool material. Additionally, flights lift and cascade material as it tumbles through the drum, enhancing the cooling process. There are a variety of a...

Tips for Using a Generator Safely

When choosing a generator, there are lots of generators to choose from including electric generators , gas generators ,  and diesel generators . While the Australian government is concerned about the environmental impacts of these generators, they always focus on “safety first” as their number one priority. This article will provide some tips for using a generator in a safe way. Thanks to technology, more and more generators are available in the market, however, not many people know how to use a generator safely. Using a generator safely includes choosing a generator, how to install and how to maintain it. Generator Installation Tips  Residential appliances may be sensitive to power surges, especially computers and televisions. Ask your generator installation professional or electrician about ‘clean’ power without power spikes, surges, or line noise. Because installing and operating generators pose safety risks, here are additional safety precautions you should t...
