Refrigeration is an essential process for many types of businesses, such as restaurants, supermarkets, industries, hospitals, among others. But how to choose the best refrigeration system for your case? There are several factors that must be considered, such as:
- The necessary refrigeration capacity, which depends on the size of the space, the quantity and type of products that will be stored or processed, and the climatic conditions of the location.
- The type of refrigeration, which can be by compression, absorption, evaporation, or other methods. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, such as efficiency, cost, maintenance, noise, environmental impact, etc.
- The quality and safety of the system, which must guarantee adequate refrigeration, without wasting energy, without risk of contamination, without fluid leaks, without damage to equipment or products, etc.
- Legislation and technical standards, which must be followed to avoid fines, sanctions, or legal problems. Some standards regulate aspects such as temperature, humidity, ventilation, hygiene, labeling, traceability, etc.
To choose the best refrigeration system for your business, it is recommended to consult a specialized professional, who can assess your needs, your possibilities, and your expectations, and offer the best solution for your case.
- Absorption refrigeration: what it is, how it works and what are the advantages
Absorption refrigeration is a type of refrigeration that uses heat as an energy source, instead of electricity. In this system, heat is used to evaporate a refrigerant fluid, which is then absorbed by another fluid, called an absorbent. The absorbed refrigerant is then heated and pressurized, and passes through a condenser, where it releases heat and liquefies. The liquid refrigerant is then expanded and cooled, and returns to the evaporator, where the cycle begins again.
