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 ...

Tips for Storing Your Backup Generator

Backup generators  are very useful equipment for homes, businesses, and industrial sites, providing clean, reliable power when the grid isn’t available. However, they’re not always in use, so it’s important that they’re stored correctly until they’re needed again to ensure that they stay in perfect working condition.  Here’s some advice from our team who  hire generators  and sell  diesel generators  for commercial, residential, marine and industrial use.   Short-term storage for diesel generators   If you know that you’ll likely require your generator throughout the next few months but that it may sit idle for a week or so in between use, then storage is a relatively simple thing. Simply clean any dust or debris off the unit after use and store it somewhere with easy access where it is protected from the environment. Keep in mind that diesel starts to deteriorate after about 10 days, so if you leave it for more than 3 weeks ...
