Designed to control refrigeration units, the KE2 Temp + Defrost saves time on installation by eliminating the need for both a time clock and defrost thermostat, the company said, requiring only wires to connect power, solenoid, and temperature sensor. 

An enhanced monitoring and controls system allows restaurants to actively manage their refrigeration using a web-based solution. The Remote Refrigeration Control (RRC) provides real-time reports and alerts, which empowers users to manage the integrity of their food supply from any location.

The European Commission (EC), the executive body of the 25 member countries of the European Union (EU) responsible for proposing legislation, is continuing its efforts to phase down — and in some applications phase out — use of HFC refrigerants in much of Europe.

The refrigerator is actually a heat pump, as the method of operation is identical apart from one difference: Heat is extracted from the refrigerator and discharged into the surroundings, whereas the heat pump uses the thermal energy in the surroundings for heating purposes. 

The purpose of this article is to not only demonstrate the proper use of the pressure-temperature relationship, but to also illustrate how service technicians can use the P-T chart to thoroughly analyze a refrigeration or air conditioning system.

A combined heating and cooling (CHC) pack is a design for use in convenience stores. The technological development, along with development of a European Refrigeration Training Academy, earned WR Refrigeration honors at the National ACR Awards in England. 

It’s important for readers within the refrigeration industry to be aware of what’s being talked about in Europe, especially from a regulatory standpoint. There is talk of a phaseout of virgin HFC refrigerant production rather than a phasedown.

The compressor’s superheated discharge temperature can tell the service technician what is going on inside a refrigeration or air conditioning system. The compressor’s discharge temperature is a reflection of the hottest part of a refrigeration system, and there are limits as to how hot a discharge temperature should be.

The AB-100CS Acid-Buster™ Injection Kit is designed to bond with acids without forming chemical byproducts and prevents acid build-up in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Use of the injector requires only one connection to add acid scavenging solution into the system.

When it comes to choosing a multimeter for servicing refrigeration systems, there are a lot of choices on the market. Careful planning should go into selecting the right meter.
