A research team has made a groundbreaking discovery in the quest to replace hydrofluorocarbons in refrigeration systems with natural refrigerants such as water and alcohol. Their study involved ...

Over the past decade, a major shift has taken place in the refrigeration industry. Across food retailers and industrial applications, CO 2 (R-744) has emerged as an ideal energy-efficient natural ...

Balancing demand for energy with timely production is a juggling act that is particularly relevant to renewable sources such as wind and solar. Because the wind isn't always blowing and the sun isn't ...

Using ethylene glycol (EG) for hydrate inhibition in a natural gas refrigeration plant to recover LPGs is common. It's important, however, that the EG regeneration loop be properly designed to ...

Liquid refrigerant flooding back to a compressor’s crankcase and mixing with the oil is a compressor’s worst nightmare. Floodback will dilute the compressor’s oil with liquid refrigerant and cause ...
