Air cooled chillers are versatile workhorses that provide cooling power to both small and large operations. Their compact design makes them portable, easy to install, and inexpensive to maintain. Let’s closely examine the inner and outer workings of air cooled chillers.

Centrifugal chillers are one of the hardest working machines behind the comfort that we enjoy everyday. When we visit movie theaters, grocery stores, or office buildings and feel the cool relief of air conditioning as we enter, we have centrifugal chillers to thank.

Biotech laboratories rely on precise temperature control to initiate, stabilize, suspend, and stop sensitive chemical reactions. Experiment integrity, equipment protection, and lab-worker safety can all be compromised if precise temperatures are not met at precise times. Let’s take a closer look at a common piece of temperature control equipment used in biomedical research and production: cooling chambers.

Whether you are wine making, distilling or brewing, temperature control during the fermentation stage is crucial. Keeping fermentation chambers within specified temperature zones ensures ideal flavors, colors, aromas and alcohol levels in your drinks.

Home brewing has become a very popular practice in recent years. Quick digital access to brewing methodology, online ordering of high quality grains/hops/yeasts, and a growing nationwide appreciation for craft brewing have all fed into a renaissance movement of brewing as an artistic science. With all these ingredients and instructions at our fingertips, finding the right method for you can be a process of trial and error. Let’s examine one of these DIY methods in greater detail…the “son of a fermentation chiller.”
