| Munters launched PsychroApp, a psychrometric calculator, and ProApp Datacom, a calculator for data centers and mission-critical facilities for sizing cooling systems and energy efficiency, for Android devices. Previously available for iOS platforms only, both apps have been updated and improved.
|
| As much as 70 percent of organizations are paying more attention to energy efficiency than a year ago and 58 percent are expecting to increase investments next year, according to the 2017 Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency Indicator (EEI) survey.

| A M King is expanding an existing food distribution facility for Aldi Inc. in Frederick, Md. The revamped cold storage distribution center will boost the discount grocer’s existing perishables space. A M King will renovate the existing 100,000 square feet of refrigerated and freezer perishable space, including conversion to new temperature zones, and add a new 48,000 square foot, 32’ clear, racked freezer.
|
| Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration, Stone Mountain, Ga., released a low temperature screw compressor condensing unit. Intended for low temperature applications in the cold storage market, the model was designed to complement to the company’s existing medium and high temperature options.
|
| SPX Cooling Technologies has implemented formal training programs at its Research and Development Center for manufacturer’s representatives, consulting engineers, mechanical and service contractors, maintenance engineers and supervisors, and other interested groups.

|
| Food retailer Weis Markets opened the 210,000 square foot expansion of its distribution center in Milton, Pa., bringing the size of the site to 1.3 million square feet. The expansion provides additional dairy, deli and cold storage for frozen foods and further streamlines the growing company's supply chain.
|
| A M King, an integrated design-build firm, started the expansion of Northeast Foods’ Automatic Rolls of New England bakery. A new cold storage distribution and process space will allow the company to increase freezer capacity.
|
| P.E.I. Mussel King is adding cold storage capacity to its facility in Morell, Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), thanks to a $1.15 million loan from the P.E.I. government and a $500,000 loan from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).

| Power generation is still heavily dependent on the steam turbine. Even gas turbine power stations usually are provided with a waste heat boiler and steam turbine to maximize the efficiency with which fuel is converted into electricity. |

Industrial heat exchangers are responsible for many cooling process fluids operating in the world’s harshest environments. A failure to reject heat due to poor thermal performance or construction can result in unplanned downtime and lost profit. It also can negatively affect other important plant processes. |
| Heat exchangers are devices that transfer heat from one medium to another. The purpose of the heat transfer typically is to lower temperatures in a device or within a specified area. The two media can be the same — for example, air-to-air — or different — air-to-water.

More efficient process heat recovery reduces energy consumption and can bring significant cost savings. Plate heat exchangers are widely used in low- to medium-pressure heat transfer applications. |
|
| Designed to be used with the company’s central cooling systems, Aquagel GPV pump sets help ensure the pumps operate at peak efficiency with the lowest possible energy consumption.
|
| The primary-method chilled-mirror dew/frost point sensor has an integral PRT temperature sensor. |
| Heat exchangers are available with optional bolt-on transitions that ease access to the core and improve exchanger body strength. In most applications, the simple bolted flange can significantly reduce labor costs and downtime for inspection and cleaning. |
