At some point, every lab manager has to make this choice. Your old cooling unit stops working, and you're looking at spec papers trying to decide what to do. Both air cooling and water cooling keep samples cold, but they do it in very different ways. How Labs Use Air Cooling Consider your air conditioner at home. Air-cooled condensing unit systems work in the same way. A fan moves air over coils that are full of refrigerant. The cold air moves about your storage area while the hot air is forced outside. These devices need good air circulation around them. You can't just shove them into tight spaces and expect them to work well. Most labs put them in places where there is at least three feet of space on all sides. The good news? You connect them and they work. There are no water lines to connect. No need to keep pumps running. Most of the time, any HVAC technician can fix something that breaks. How Water Cooling Systems Work Water cooling works differently. Water runs through th...

Propane (R290) and isobutane (R600a) hydrocarbons have made inroads into the food retail and restaurant markets in major industrial countries, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Interest in energy-efficient hydrocarbon cases has skyrocketed in the United States in the past year due to stricter energy efficiency regulations introduced by the Department of Energy. It's because of how easy they are to use, with sealed, factory-charged condensing units that are cooled by air or water in an external loop. This design eliminates the need for a machine room, oversized rooftop condensers, and extensive piping to cases, resulting in cheaper installation and maintenance costs and meager leak rates. Also, because they are entirely self-contained, these display cases may be strategically placed wherever in the shop to serve any advertising objective best. Here are some reasons enlisted why  Hydrocarbon Refrigeration Systems  have become so popular.   ...

The market offers a wide variety of Air Condenser Units. It isn’t easy to select an Air Condenser Unit or Condensing Unit that is the best one for your use. Modern air conditioning systems include portable, smart, geothermal, mini-split, ductless, and central ones. The size and energy efficiency of an air Condenser are just two of the many additional elements that influence your decision. Therefore, whenever you are selecting an air condenser unit, it is recommended that you speak with an air conditioner installation specialist. You may want to consider these few crucial things when choosing an air conditioner to ensure its dependability and durability.     Essential Factors for the Air Condenser Unit Maintenance Cost You should consider the upkeep costs and maintenance when buying a Condenser unit or any other electrical item. Find out how frequently a tune-up, air filter replacement, or duct cleaning will be required throughout the air conditioner installation. ...

You know that downtime for commercial refrigeration systems is not something you can afford if you own a restaurant, bar, or grocery store. Walk-in freezers and coolers require a lot of moving parts and maintenance. We have compiled a comprehensive list of all things commercial refrigeration. Continue reading to find energy-saving and best practices for commercial refrigeration systems. Commercial Refrigeration System  A commercial refrigeration system is cold storage equipment that we use in commercial environments. You can find them in grocery stores, specialty food stores, and convenience stores. A commercial refrigeration system would also include the walk-in freezers and refrigerators that we usually find in cafeterias and restaurant equipment. Businesses and homeowners can store food and drinks for long periods of time without worrying about spoilage, thanks to refrigeration. Commercial refrigeration is for the purpose of keeping food and ingredients chilled by removi...

Water-cooled condensing units within refrigeration systems transfer the heat from refrigerant vapor into the water that runs through the unit. When the refrigerant passes through the coils, it cools down from a hot gas to warm liquid. The water-cooled condenser uses the water to remove heat unlike air-cooled that uses the air to remove heat. There are many benefits to a water-cooled condensing unit vs. an air-cooled unit. Let’s take a look. Benefits of a Water-Cooled Condenser Consumes less energy than other condensers Cooling time is less than air-cooled condensers Heat transfer rate is higher No fans are necessary Thermocraft Solutions Thermocraft water-cooled condensing units operate quietly, are energy efficient, and are backed by more than 100 years of combined commercial refrigeration expertise. We have the right solution for any application in the commercial refrigeration market. All of our featured condensing units are customizable to the core. Thermologic Series The...

At Thermocraft, we use cutting-edge commercial refrigeration condensing unit technology and the optimal combination of refrigerant, horsepower, and temperature to ensure that the units not only work but work to their full potential. Let's begin with the basics. What exactly is the purpose of a condensing unit? Converting a refrigerant from a gas to a liquid in order to remove heat. How do condensing units function as part of the refrigeration cycle? Let's go exploring. The ingredients within the process are as follows: Compressor, Condenser, Meter Device/Expansion valve, Evaporator, Refrigerant and The Compressor moves the refrigerant through the system. The Condensing unit rejects the heat. The Meter Device regulates the refrigerant flow. The Evaporator absorbs the heat from the air and moves it back through the system. Step 1: The refrigerant is compressed as low pressure, warm gas, and exits as a high pressure, hot gas, which then enters the condenser. When you conden...
