Thermal Management Questions and Answers
What is a heat exchanger? Non-refrigerated heat exchangers are designed to remove heat from a process and discharge it to an auxiliary facility water supply such as a domestic, a central-chilled water system, or a cooling tower.
- "5 keys to Effective Temperature Control," by Daniel Dorn (May 2010, Process Cooling Magazine)
The world of heat transfer is truly a battle of moderation. Too much or too little heat can be a real problem. One thing is for sure: Controlling the means of heating and cooling in a process is both an art and a science. Since, in general, each thermal cooling and heating system is unique, following good design principles will ensure success in the control of process temperatures.
- Compressor Cycling Affects Laser Performance
Recirculating liquid cooling systems are used in many of today’s commercially available lasers to efficiently remove waste heat and avoid overheating of critical components. Although there are numerous heat-transfer fluids used as coolants for a wide variety of laser applications, water is by far the most common coolant used. If the system is properly designed, a recirculating water system provides an efficient, effective, and reliable means of cooling high-power laser systems.
- Combination Heating & Cooling Units (OTR Chiller from Opti Temp)
Chillers are now available as combination heating/cooling units, which can be used both as a mold temperature controller and a water chiller. These are especially useful on all electric machines where there is no hydraulic circuit that needs to be cooled.
- Portable Cooling at the Point of Use
By Angelo DePalma, From Lab Product News, Published: 12/3/2009
Laboratory workers have traditionally relied on water, ice, dry ice, and liquid nitrogen for portable cooling. While laboratory chillers will never completely replace these techniques, they provide advantages in portability and convenience.
- Advanced Refrigeration Capacity Control
Opti Temp systems feature Advanced Refrigeration Capacity Control (ARCC) circuitry. This industry-leading patented refrigeration circuitry provides several exclusive advantages over traditional refrigeration control methods.
