Refrigeration is a process of mechanically cooling or reducing the temperature of a space, product or process. In some industries, such as chemical producers or the food and drink sector, refrigeration accounts for a significant proportion of overall energy costs. Against these costs, even a small...

Heat recovery can help to reduce overall energy consumption on-site while reducing total running costs in the bargain. Recovered heat can help you reduce energy consumption or provide useful heat for other purposes. In the food and beverage industry, for example, it is possible to recover heat from...

The solar thermal identity… or should that be supremacy? Solar thermal (also called solar heating collector) is a mature renewable energy technology. Solar collectors have recently been used not only for the preparation of hot water and pool water, but also for heating objects and devices. It can...

Since the 1950s, clean-in-place (CIP) systems have been reliably used to clean inside surfaces of tanks and pipelines in liquid process equipment to avoid costly downtime associated with lengthy dismantling and cleaning tasks. The technique covers a variety of areas, but its main purpose is to...

Public building in Prague gets bespoke ventilation and heat recovery Well-ventilated indoor environment considered worth the premium for an office refit Energy consumption reduced by ~600 GJ per year Annual energy cost savings estimated at ~€ 9 000 An administrative building in Prague, the Czech...

Measuring and control systems (MCS) are used to automatically control both manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes, including monitoring, visualisation and evaluation. Installation of frequency drives on electric motors, such as variable speed drives (VSD), is a typical industrial MCS measure...
