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.

Diesel Generators – Off-Grid Water Pump Solutions

One of the most important functions of diesel generators on remote worksites like mining and agricultural operations is to ensure sufficient electrical power to deliver a steady supply of water is pumped out of deep water wells to where it’s needed most. Here are some insights from leading providers of generators for sale in Australia. Why Diesel Generators?  Diesel generators have long been the preferred choice for off-grid electrical power solutions in tough environments. Here’s why:  Higher energy density – Diesel is a fuel with a high energy density, which means more energy can be extracted from a litre of diesel than other fuel types like petrol It’s the same reason you can drive further on a tank of diesel than the same amount of petrol. Diesel is readily available – As a fuel, diesel is widely available so it’s not difficult or expensive to transport it to remote sites. It can also be stored for a reasonable amount of time – around 6 months – or longer, if

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 years. Generators should last for

Benefits of Commercial Generators for Educational Facilities

It’s common knowledge that backup generators deliver important benefits to many industries, from banks and restaurants to hospitals and mines – but their importance to the education industry is often overlooked. Here are some important points to consider when investing in your school, college, university or vocational facility from CAT rental , the team that can help you hire a generator affordably today.  Hire a Generator to Solve the Following Challenges  Class disruptions and scheduling: This is a critical challenge in the industry, whether you are running a school or tertiary institution. The last thing you need is a blackout that leaves classes cancelled, schedules disrupted, or prevents exams and tests from taking place. Catching up classes or tests can be tough in a school environment but is far more challenging in a university setting. When you have backup generators, however, there’s no interruption to the day and classes, exams, presentations and meetings can con
