Introduction to Pressure Swing Adsorption Nitrogen Generators
Nitrogen is an essential gas in many industries, including food preservation, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and construction, and fire suppression. It can be used to remove contaminants, prevent combustible dust explosions, and create a nonreactive production environment in settings where oxygen may cause explosions or harmful oxidation. However, though nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the… Read more …
The Importance of Proper Chiller Sizing
Chillers are critical for keeping products, equipment, materials, and ingredients at proper operating temperatures. You’d be surprised how heavily your chiller’s size can impact performance, energy consumption, and operating expenses. Choosing an ill-suited size for your business can compromise system performance and efficiency. But how do you determine the right chiller size for your workflow… Read more …
Chillers for Distilleries – Selecting the Proper Equipment
Chillers are versatile pieces of refrigeration machinery that cool liquid – usually a glycol/water mix, which is circulated to regulate the temperature of many different processes: distillation columns, mash coolers, heat exchangers, fermentation tanks, etc. When controlling the temperature and timing of your process matters most, an industrial chiller will provide the constant supply of… Read more …
Cold Plunge Chillers
Cold plunge pools and spas are becoming increasingly popular. They have long been used in Nordic style spas, but have seen more recent increased use in sports medicine hydrotherapy, replacing traditional ice baths. In addition to sports medicine hydrotherapy, cold plunge chillers are being used for residential pool cold plunge hydrotherapy spas.
Decrease Cycle Time in Injection Molding with Custom Process Chillers
Increasing throughput on injection molding machines can be a tricky balancing act. If you fill and cool molds too quickly, you will likely have a high level of quality assurance rejects. If you fill and cool too slowly, you are increasing your costs. The key here is to maximize throughput – careful consideration of the… Read more …
Process Chillers For Welding Cooling
Cooling is very important in welding operations, if done improperly costs can quickly add up. Keeping welding equipment properly cooled provides the following benefits: Uniform quality spot welds and the prevention of hot or mushroomed tips. Longer weld tip life, decreasing equipment down time. Maximizes uptime, by preventing SCRs from overheating.
Chiller Applications in Breweries
From 5 gallon homebrew batches to 500 bbl brewing systems, cooling is an integral part in the brewing process. Brewing chillers can be as simple as copper tubing in an ice bath for home brewers or a heat exchanger for small craft breweries. As your brewery grows up, your brewing system needs a professional upgrade… Read more …

This post will help you understand some of the basic terminology, but it is for general informational purposes only. We highly recommend you contact us with… Read more …
Eliminate System Quenching & Cryogen Loss for MRIs with Medical Chillers from General Air Products, Inc.
What is system quenching in regard to medical imaging equipment? System quenching is when liquid helium or cryogen, used to cool the superconducting electromagnet in most medical imaging equipment, becomes overheated and boils to a gas. This gas is then bled out of the system usually through some sort of external vent. A common cause… Read more …
