COOLING EQUIPMENT
Cooling equipment is crucial for maintaining low temperatures across various industries, especially in the food, pharmaceutical, and hospitality sectors.
Here is a detailed overview of the main cooling equipment used in refrigeration chambers and other cooling systems:
COMPRESSORS:
• Hermetic compressors: Completely sealed, used in smaller refrigeration systems, and have a long lifespan without requiring maintenance.
• Semi-hermetic compressors: Allow access to internal parts for maintenance and repairs, used in medium and large refrigeration systems.
• Open compressors: Connected to external motors, used in large industrial systems and facilitate easy maintenance.
CONDENSERS:
• Air-cooled condensers: Use fans to cool the air passing through the condenser, most used in smaller and medium-sized systems.
• Water-cooled condensers: Use water for cooling, more efficient but require additional water-cooling systems, used in larger systems.
• Evaporative condensers: Combine air and water cooling for greater efficiency.
EVAPORATORS:
• Direct evaporators: Located inside the refrigeration chamber, they cool the air by direct contact.
• Indirect evaporators: Use a refrigerant circulating through pipes to cool the air inside the chamber.
EXPANSION VALVES:
• Thermostatic expansion valves (TEV): Control the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator, providing stable temperature control.
• Electronic expansion valves (EEV): Offer more precise control of the refrigerant through electronic management, enabling greater energy efficiency.
EVAPORATORS:
• Silent evaporators: Used for circulating air inside the chamber, ensuring even distribution of cold air.
• Dynamic evaporators: Allow stronger airflow and are used in larger chambers and industrial systems.
CONTROL SYSTEMS:
• Thermostats and sensors: Digital thermostats and temperature sensors that precisely control the internal temperature.
• PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): Automatically manages and monitors all chamber functions.
• Supervision and management systems: Include alarm systems, remote control, and monitoring via the internet.
ECO-FRIENDLY SYSTEMS:
• Refrigerants: HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons): Refrigerants that are less harmful to the ozone layer.
• Natural refrigerants: Such as ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which are environmentally friendly and have a low global warming potential.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
• Inverter technology: Provides better control over compressors, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved efficiency.
• High-performance insulation materials: Help minimize heat loss, improving the overall energy efficiency of the cooling system.
