Temperature Control in Industrial Processes: Everything You Need to Know

Temperature control is crucial for ensuring the quality of industrial processes, the safety of equipment, and the thermal comfort of employees. This guide covers the main solutions available in the market, including chillers, fan coil units, and rooftops, as well as explaining the different types of temperature control (on/off, proportional, and PID) and their ideal applications in industrial environments.

Fan coil unit, chiller – climate control solutions to beat the heat

The hottest season of the year also coincides with the holiday season. For those traveling or enjoying days off in big cities, spaces with attractions for the whole family, such as shopping centers, are a sure destination. To maintain comfortable temperatures, a much more complex system than the air conditioning we know is required. Chillers reuse the water from air conditioning, cooling the hot volume and returning it chilled to the climate control system and subsequently to the environment. Together with Rooftops, air conditioning equipment for large spaces, these units allow for perfect thermal control of the environment. The use of Chillers also enhances the air system.

Retail Shows Signs of Recovery and Boosts Supplier Chain

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) has just released its Monthly Trade Survey (PMC), which indicated a growth in retail sales in April after two years of decline. The best performance was seen in the areas of clothing, construction materials, and.

Climate Control to Ease High Temperatures

The summer of 2016/2017 brought high temperatures and rain across the country, intensified by the La Niña phenomenon. To maintain comfortable environments, Chiller cooling systems become essential, especially in places with high foot traffic. These systems enhance air conditioning efficiency, control humidity and air quality, and are widely used in malls, airports, and hospitals.

High Temperatures and the Importance of Chillers

With just over a month until summer arrives, high temperatures are already prevalent across much of the country. In this scenario, investing in equipment and solutions to keep environments climate-controlled is essential. Chillers are crucial for cooling large spaces, maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity levels, and enhancing the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems.

Shopping Centers and Energy Bills

Electricity costs in Brazil are among the highest in the world. Despite being predominantly hydroelectric and cheaper, energy in the country is extremely expensive, largely due to taxes. Large commercial enterprises, such as shopping centers, are heavily impacted, with expenses that can reach 45% of condominium costs, with up to 60% of this amount consumed solely by air conditioning systems.

What is electrical impedance? Learn about its calculation and applications!

Electrical impedance measures a circuit’s ability to resist the flow of electric current, defined as the total resistive load of alternating current circuits. Each material has a different impedance determined by its atoms. Expressed in Ohms, it is calculated by the relationship between voltage and current according to Ohm’s Law, essential for the correct sizing of electrical equipment.

Energy demands in retail

Brazilian retail anticipates recovery with the injection of R$ 200 billion from the 13th salary, representing 3% of GDP according to DIEESE. The sector faces energy challenges due to the tropical climate that requires constant air conditioning, especially with tariff flags that increase energy costs. The solution is the adoption of temporary energy during peak hours, potentially saving up to 30% on electricity costs.

Discover how cooling and climate control systems work

The Chiller system is essential for climate control during hot seasons, especially in December and January in Brazil. This equipment cools water using a refrigerant solution to chill air, equipment, and products. It plays a role in temperature control, humidity, air circulation, and renewal in large spaces. Tecnogera offers rental of robust and efficient Chillers in various capacities to meet diverse needs, from factories to events and construction, ensuring economical and eco-friendly climate control.

See how power generator sizing is done

Proper generator sizing is crucial to ensure adequate operation during electrical system failures. The process considers electrical load, installation environment, temperature, pollution, and altitude. The power factor is calculated by considering the difference between apparent power (Volt-Ampere) and active power (Watt), as well as alternator efficiency losses and the engine’s mechanical power. The sizing must adhere to an 8-hour operation and 4-hour rest regime.
