Why does Carbon Dioxide (CO2) stand out in a DX Heat Exchanger in low temperature systems?
Why does Carbon Dioxide (CO2) stand out in a DX Heat Exchanger in low temperature systems? Since the Kigali Amendment of Montreal Protocol in 2016, the world refrigeration community has been looking more into the natural refrigerant route. The Kigali Amendment calls for the phase out of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) as follows: Developed countries: 10% reduction […]
An Important Consideration in Designing a Heat Exchanger operating close to Freeze Point of a fluid – Phenomenon of “Freeze Fouling”
An Important Consideration in Designing a Heat Exchanger operating close to Freeze Point of a fluid – Phenomenon of “Freeze Fouling” This type of fouling can occur at a surface when a medium is cooled to within the vicinity of its freeze point. It is a good engineering practice to design a heat exchanger by […]
