NEW PRODUCTS : Packaged cooler chills process vessels to -45 degrees C .
Blue Frost packaged cooling systems allow process vessels to operate at temperatures down to -45 degrees C.
They are cheaper and more compact than traditional custom-built refrigeration systems, says their supplier.
Capacities are in the range of 4-275 kW, with a choice of air or water cooling, and indoor or outdoor
siting. Heat transfer is achieved by "direct expansion", in which the primary refrigerant circulates
through the vessel jacket, or via a secondary refrigerant, such as ethylene glycol. Suggested applications
are in crystallization and other operations in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. --
