(Image courtesy of Glaciem Cooling Technologies) Glaciem Cooling Technologies in conjunction with researchers from the University of South Australia have developed a unit, based on a CO2 refrigerant that uses dew point technology to pre-cool air before it enters the refrigeration system’s condenser. The system also has a thermal energy storage component that can store…
SPX Flow (http://www.spxflow.com/en/hankison/) has introduced a new range of energy-saving refrigerated air dryers by Hankison (named FLEX Series – see http://www.powderbulksolids.com/article/New-Compressed-Air-Drying-Technology-02-07-2017), which uses phase change materials in its heat transfer technology, to enable the removal of liquid from compressed air extremely efficiently. The dryers have been designed with a 3-in-1 heat exchanger in which the PCM encapsulates the refrigeration and…
