Different types of process chillers fall under two main categories: (1) Vapor Absorption and (2)Vapor Compression. Vapor compression chillers are the most common and include (1) air chillers and (2) water/fluid chillers. Chillers are further categorized by the type of compressor technology used: (1) centrifugal, (2) scroll, (3) reciprocating, and (4) screw. Chiller units are refrigerant systems that aid in cooling residential/commercial spaces, machines, industrial operations, and industrial chemicals. These units are energy efficient, cost-efficient, and time-efficient. Without these systems, production objectives often cannot be achieved. Chillers fall under two main categories: vapor compression and vapor absorption chillers. vapor compression […]

Chiller Maintenance: Repairing or Replacing a Broken Chiller
As much as we’d love technology to run at maximum efficiency 100% of the time, regular wear and tear can lead to malfunctions. If your business owns or regularly uses a chiller unit, it could be helpful to familiarize yourself with these chiller repairing and maintenance steps. When it comes to process chiller repair and maintenance, it is necessary to know and understand how chiller systems work. Here are a few helpful tips that can help keep your chiller running efficiently: 1. Track and Monitor Daily Operations Log A daily operations log provides supporting data to help isolate problems and […]
How EDM Cutting Technology is Helping to Create Innovative New Products
What is EDM? EDM (electrical discharge machining), also known as spark machining, is a manufacturing process used to obtain a specific desired shape in metal by applying electrical discharges(sparks). There are a few different types of EDM technology including sinker EDM, wire EDM, ram EDM and fast hole drilling EDM; all of which are primarily used for hard metals that would be very difficult to machine with alternative methods. Even though electrical discharge machining is ideal for hard-to-drill materials, it can also be used for softer metals.

Keeping Chemicals Cool
If your business or organization regularly works with, stores, or manufactures chemical products, you’re likely familiar with chemical hazards and proper safety protocol (We’re willing to bet you’ve been through one or two chemical safety courses as part of your training). For those who aren’t as familiar with chemical handling and cooling, it’s important to remember that an important part of safe chemical use is safe storage, Generally, storing hazardous chemicals requires sorting by oxidation (chemical reaction), flammability, toxicity, explosive properties, etc., away from outdoor exposure, and, if applicable, out of reach of children. Safety guidelines also require the use […]
