Put simply, industrial chillers help keep systems and supplies cool. Unwanted heat can cause downtime, wasted materials, slow production, and, consequently, smaller profit margins. Process chillers remove unwanted heat and keep things running smoothly, even when temperatures are high. Chillers are used in a variety of applications including: Process Cooling Food and Beverage Production Chemicals Plastics Printing Welding EDM Lasers Because there are so many options for types of chillers, determining what kind of chiller you need can seem daunting. Picking the wrong chiller can lead to poor results and/or wasted energy and money. Before you make your selection, it’s […]

Best Temperature for Hydroponics
Hydroponics is an agriculture method that involves growing plants in something other than soil. There are a few different approaches to hydroponics. Sometimes the roots are supported in perlite or gravel. Often, however, no growing medium is used; plants are suspended with their roots immersed in the nutrient solution. The key difference between traditional growing methods and hydroponics is how nutrients are applied to roots. While in traditional agriculture roots receive nutrients via soil, In hydroponics nutrients are supplied to plant roots via mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. flikr.com What’s in a hydroponic nutrient solution? Essential nutrients included […]
Laser Chillers: Using Chillers for Laser Cooling
flickr.com Lasers are an essential part of delivering high-speed, pinpoint accuracy in both general and specialized industrial applications. When it comes to these technologies, installing laser chillers for laser cooling provides incredible value to the operation. There are many different types of chillers used in dozens of industries. Even though the applications may differ, the need for temperature control is consistent. Utilizing chillers keeps industrial lasers at constant temperatures; this allows the lasers to reach maximum performance. Lasers operate at extremely high temperatures. Temperature regulation removes heat from the system which prevents the overheating of critical components. Additionally, this temperature […]
