T'was the month before Christmas...

Posted by Heuch on Nov 17, 2016 10:03:00 AM

We've all heard the tale before. 

T'was the month before Christmas, all the machines are stirring,
With production increasing, and stock levels surging.
But summer was coming, and the machines got too hot,
It fizzled and slowed, production was stopped! 
But have no fear, no need to get nervous,
Now is the time to give it a service. 
If you can't afford downtime, and need it to work,
Then pick up the phone, you need to  call Heuch!

Refrigerants and what they mean for you...

Posted by Heuch on Nov 16, 2016 11:16:00 AM

You may have been reading over the last few weeks regarding the amendment to the Montreal Protocol and the environmental benefits this has for the earth moving forward. 

We have definitely been tuned to staying abreast of the news that has come out of Rwanda and how the market has been reacting. Here at Heuch, we believe that the reduction in use of the hydroflurocarbons (HFC) gases was inevitable. Especially considering that they can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.

'Half a degree avoided': Breakthrough in talks to limit global warming

Posted by Heuch on Oct 20, 2016 9:39:47 AM

Published, The Age, October 15 2016. 

Nearly 200 nations hammered out a legally binding deal to cut back on greenhouse gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners, a Rwandan minister announced to loud cheers on Saturday, in a major step against climate change. 

The deal, which includes the world's two biggest economies, the United States and China, divides countries into three groups with different deadlines to reduce the use of factory-made hydroflurocarbon (HFC) gases, which can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.

Common refrigeration defrost management - for small to medium systems.

Posted by Heuch on Oct 4, 2016 10:03:00 AM

All cool rooms and freezers use evaporators or coolers to help regulate temperature inside the room. 

When people and equipment enter and exit a room they let varying amounts of ambient air into the space which needs to be brought back down to the regulated temperature. This air generally contains a significantly higher level of water vapour than the room. The water vapour or moisture in the air is naturally drawn to the coldest element in the room which just happens to be the fin and tube surfaces within the evaporator.
