Everything shaping
the world of cooling.
Technology, companies and events worldwide
An overview of 16 types of refrigeration and climate equipment: compressor chillers (scroll, screw, centrifugal, magnetic-bearing, and gas-bearing), absorption machines, heat pumps (air-source, geothermal, water-source, CO₂-critical), and specialized solutions. For each type, the operating principle, cooling capacity range, and typical applications are outlined.
Correct diagnosis of a chiller's operating mode requires more than reading pressure gauge readings: saturated refrigerant temperatures must be cross-referenced with water inlet and outlet temperatures and pressure drops on the water side. The article covers key relationships, acceptable deviations, and the cooling-capacity calculation formula.
