Ever wonder how industrial facilities keep their cool during these hot summer days? Enter the unsung heroes: 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀! These incredible structures are masters of heat management, ensuring everything runs smoothly through the simple yet effective process of evaporation. Here's a quick rundown of how they work: 🔄 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 & 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Hot water from industrial processes is pumped into the cooling tower. The water is sprayed over fill material, increasing surface area, while air is drawn through the tower. ❄️𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: As the water flows over the fill and meets the air, a small portion of it evaporates. This evaporation process absorbs heat from the remaining water, effectively lowering its temperature. The cooled water collects in a basin at the bottom of the tower and is then recirculated back into the industrial process, ready to absorb more heat. 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁! 💨 The visual plume often seen rising from cooling towers is not smoke but water vapour. It’s a sign of the cooling process in action, efficiently managing heat to keep industrial processes humming along. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? Because efficient cooling is crucial for maintaining optimal operating conditions and conserving water. Next time you see a cooling tower, give it a nod of appreciation – it's working hard to keep the industrial world turning! Moreover, the large volumes of air that move through cooling towers present a unique opportunity to capture ambient CO2 and further integrate #directaircapture, an approach that is core to Captur Tower 💧 At Captur Tower, we use airflow created by large cooling tower fans and harness heat that would otherwise be wasted to drastically reduce #directaircapture operating costs, making this promising technology viable and scalable!

Frost buildup in industrial refrigeration is more than just a pain - it reduces efficiency and increases energy costs. ❄ Cooling systems struggle with this because frost forms quickly when the coil surface drops below freezing, creating thick ice layers. This process reduces the heat exchanger's performance and leads to frequent defrost cycles, which waste time and energy. 💡 Now, imagine a cooling system that doesn’t fight frost but controls it carefully. With our innovative technology, we’re changing how refrigeration systems handle frost. Instead of layers of frost that choke the heat exchanger, our technology manages and optimizes the frost formation process, maintaining system performance and significantly reducing energy use. ✅ This means fewer defrosts, fewer interruptions and more efficient, sustainable operation with lower costs. Curious how we’re improving refrigeration efficiency and cutting energy use by 20% on average? Get in touch for a free analysis of your refrigeration system! #Frost #Cooling #Ice #Sensor #Innovation #FoodIndustry #Logistics #Canteen

Solid-state cooling is a promising alternative cooling technique that does not rely on the use of gases or liquids, like conventional refrigeration systems, but instead utilizes the properties of solid materials to refrigerate.

Curious about how #CO2 has impacted the cooling rates of climate chambers? Let's explore the changes! When we first put CO2 refrigeration components to the test under high pressure, it marked a significant milestone in environmental simulation cooling. After testing all parts rigorously for over 8,000 hours, we began building cooling circuits using the available components. While this wasn't our usual approach, the approaching deadline of 2025 has pushed us to adapt and innovate. In the past, climatic chambers achieved impressive performance levels ranging from 3K/min to 15K/min. However, with the introduction of high-pressure CO2 refrigeration, we've seen a shift. Now, a small cooling machine can achieve a 3K/min cooling rate, while a larger one in the same chamber can achieve an impressive 9K/min. Unfortunately, there's no middle ground, and faster options are currently unavailable. Additionally, using the same cooling machines in a larger chamber yields rates of 2K/min and 6K/min. Despite these challenges, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of environmental simulation testing. Our technology is safe, tested and validated, and we're actively exploring innovative solutions to overcome these limitations. Stay tuned for updates and exciting developments as we navigate this new era of CO2 refrigeration! Join us as we shape the future of environmental simulation testing! 💡 #weisstechnik #CO2Refrigeration #EnvironmentalSimulation #Innovation

In air-cooled condensers, fans are essential for cooling steam by circulating ambient air over finned tubes, condensing the steam back into water for reuse. Because these systems are energy-intensive, even small improvements in fan efficiency can lead to substantial cost savings and environmental benefits—especially in sectors like power generation and manufacturing where they run continuously. Selecting fans with optimized blade designs and durable materials, like Moore Fans' Class 20000, can improve airflow, reduce the risk of reverse rotation (protecting against damage and downtime), and lower operational costs. Advanced, energy-efficient fan designs are becoming critical for facilities focused on reducing both costs and their carbon footprint. Reach out to Moore Fans today to learn more about how our fans can elevate your operations. #AirCooledCondensers #AirMovement #EnergyEfficient

Hands up if you have a heat pump at home? We sometimes ask this question when talking to clients about decarbonisation and usually only a few say yes. But actually we all do… it’s called a refrigerator 🤯 It’s a pretty bad joke but it’s helpful to debunk some of the myths about heat pumps like… ❌ It’s new and untried technology ❌ They don’t work at low temperatures ❌ They are complex and difficult to maintain When in reality… ✅ The vapour-compression cycle used in refrigerators and heat pumps was first proposed in 1805 with the first machine built and patented in 1834 ✅ Efficiency does drop slightly with the outside temperature but heat pumps still works at sub zero temperatues just like your freezer does. ✅ The main moving parts of a heat pump are only the compressor and the fan with domestic heat pumps recommended to be serviced once a year. Electrification of heating is a key part of the road to net zero and in terms of both energy use and carbon generation, a heat pump beats a gas boiler hands down. Even at sub zero temperatures ☃️ ————————- Give me a follow to hear more about #buildingdesign, #environmental #engineering and #decarbonisation. [Image credit: Jerome Brouillet]
