Ammonia safety relief valves come in many different shapes and sizes. Similarly, there are also many different manufacturers of them as well. Most of these manufacturers disclose a “shelf life” but none of them disclose a “service life”. This is because it really isn’t within the manufacturers purview to direct on this but rather it […]

How many of you have “scale” on your evaporative condenser? [I am guessing your hand might be in the air]. How many of you feel that this is “normal” and something that should be treated as a “side effect” from running an evaporative condenser? [I am guessing your hand is still up]. Although scale buildup

This article will target refrigeration systems that utilize air cooled condensers, but the efficiencies to be gained apply to the users of evaporative condensers as well. First, let us remember a couple of important principles of refrigeration; 1) heat (energy) always flows from higher to lower temperatures, and 2) the function of the condenser is
