Airflow is an integral aspect in our industry and is discussed on a regular occasion. In this article, David Richardson discusses airflow and the top five factors influenced by proper airflow in a HVAC system. 

NextDC chief operating officer (COO), Simon Cooper, outlines the latest methods used in data centre cooling to meet the twin goals of increased reliability and improved energy efficiency.

A common cause of premature compressor failure is excessive migration of refrigerant vapor to the crankcase of the compressor during the off cycle. When this happens, refrigerant vapor can condense back into a liquid, mix with the oil, and dilute its lubricating properties. On start-up, the oil/liquid refrigerant mixture is then used to lubricate the bearing surfaces within the compressor. This mixture — being a poor lubricant — causes wearing of the bearing surfaces within the compressor.

We would like to wish you a safe and happy festive season from the entire team at Heuch!

In this edition of our monthly newsletter, we share some huge savings potential for your refrigeration service, delve into how refrigerant phase outs affect you and discuss if solar can actually benefit your business. 

Keynote address outlines eight steps for urban leaders to improve energy efficiency in buildings. 

Efficient buildings, those that make productive use of natural, human and financial resources, are vital to achieving sustainable development. They align economic, social and environmental opportunities, creating so-called triple-bottom-line benefits. 

A direct replacement for diesel powered refrigeration equipment, Heuch's solar power units are designed to operate in the harshest and most remote environments. They are suitable for areas without a reliable grid connection, emergency services, disaster relief and defence applications.

The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy?

Over the years we have installed numerous Heuch Series Media Filters in a variety of industries. 

Heuch water filters are a permanent media type units specifically designed to clean industrial and process water. Our water filters have an automatic filtering and back washing operation. They are specifically designed for removing small particles from process water in by-pass and side stream low pressure system arrangements. 

These filters are designed to remove particles of size down to 5 micron depending on the media used and the filtration and back washing rates applied. Further customisations can be installed to remove particles that are even smaller than 5 microns. 

With increased importance on food safety and freshness, as well as increased demand in cold storage facilities as reported at the beginning of the year, refrigeration services are now under stricter governance than ever before.

Food produce providers now need to take the entire process of harvesting to processing to storage to transport all into consideration as the retail food trends of "farm to plate" are now ingrained within not only consumers mind sets, supermarkets, but also pop culture and fast food options.

The global data centre cooling market is expected to reach $US17.78 billions by 2024, according to a new study by Grand View Research. 

The rise in the number of data centres driving the surge in demand for cooling solutions is the key factor expected to catapult the market. The emergence of new data centres have played a pivotal role in driving the demand for cooling solutions. Further, the need for efficient solutions is of paramount importance to ensure proper server functioning and to eliminate system downtime.
