Industrial Cooling Systems and Equipment

Industrial cooling systems and industrial cooling equipment includes air-to-air, liquid-to-air, and liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers; ducts and/or pipes; and other devices for removing heat from a system that contains a heat source. Examples of heat-generating systems include power plants, automobile engines, industrial buildings, and commercial facilities. Heat exchangers transfer heat energy from one fluid or gas to another fluid or gas without mixing the two. Automotive radiators are liquid-to-air cooling systems that transfer heat from the engine’s water to the surrounding air. Air-to-air cooling systems are used to provide ventilation for industrial buildings and commercial facilities. Liquid-to-liquid cooling systems are also available. These industrial cooling systems and industrial cooling equipment transfer heat contained in one liquid to another liquid. They have one or two barriers between the heat-transfer fluid and the other liquid. Single-wall industrial cooling systems and equipment consists of pipes or tubes that are surrounded by a fluid, usually water. Double-wall products are used when the heat-transfer fluid is toxic.

Industrial cooling systems and industrial cooling equipment includes ducts, pipes, and related assemblies. HVAC ductwork consists of pipe or closed conduits made of sheet metal, fiberglass board, or other suitable materials for conducting air to and from an air handling unit. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems regulate the temperature inside a building, with the use of heating and cooling systems, wall and ceiling ducting, and other HVAC technologies. There are several types of HVAC ductwork for industrial cooling systems and equipment. Examples include air conditioning ductwork, heating ductwork, furnace ductwork, and insulated ductwork. Air conditioning ductwork uses malleable ducting pipes that are placed in the ceiling. These pipes route the cool air through ceiling vents or ducts in each room. The pipes which distribute air in the room are called air conditioning ducts. The distribution system is made of an HVAC ductwork air return supply, filters, dampers and registers.

Specifications for industrial cooling systems and industrial cooling equipment vary by product type. For example, heat exchanger specifications include heat exchanger type, flow rate, and inlet and outlet temperatures. The specific heat, viscosity and density of the heat-transfer fluid are also important considerations. For best results, industrial cooling systems and equipment should be installed according to manufacturer specifications. Leaks or cracks can develop if dissimilar metals with different thermal expansion and contraction characteristics are used.
