Optimizing any cooling plant for minimal energy consumption is a demanding science. In many cases, minimizing chiller plant energy consumption requires modifications to the plant design, including ...

Maybe the problem was born in design - overestimating pump head, or a cooling tower that isn’t towering enough. Or it arose in installation - say, misconnected coils. Even then, a fix may create a new ...

Effectively and efficiently controlling the temperature of molds through water or other fluids is one of the most basic functions your molding operation needs to handle well. Poor cooling affects ...

In a typical chilled water hydronic system, fluid is moved through the piping network by pumps and controlled by a series of balancing and control valves. Distributed pumping is more than just ...

We got a call from a homeowner after his HVAC service company threw up their hands and said they could do no more to get the cooling system to work. They had recently replaced two failed compressors ...

In part because they are closed-loop systems, it can be easy to ignore power plant cooling water systems that support the reliable functioning of everything from stator bars in the generator to ...

This chilled water rescue involved a cooling system that was eating outside unit compressors and was no longer working. We got the call in May to get the cooling working by June for the summer season.

How’s this for drought response? Earlier this month the utilities division opened the valve on a project that will save 61 million gallons of potable water annually on the Davis campus. If you’re in ...

Dating back to the late 1980’s, the principle of inlet chilling has been utilized to increase power output of combustion gas turbines. Since gas turbines are constant volume machines, air mass flow ...
