Process cooling trailer

Summer is only a few months away, and for many facilities, this time of year is extremely challenging for cooling operations.

The high heat and humidity of the summer months can directly affect the smooth running of your plant operations, leading to interruptions, problems with quality control, and accelerated damage to your equipment.

Facilities that proactively review their cooling requirements prior to summer are in the best position to get ahead of these demanding conditions.

Matt and Phil will address common misconceptions and how to best implement improvements to maximize your cooling efficiency through seasonal changes.

This presentation will cover:
- Process cooling overview Pinch Analysis review—seeing the big picture.
- Preparing for the summer heat, what to look for in a cooling audit, Case study and project review.

Time Stamps
Time Stamp: 2.34 - Chiller ratings are affected as the temperature increases above their nominal stated values.

Time Stamp: 3.32 Ultimately, if you start experiencing heat exchanger issues due to rising temps, you're cooling demand may not be met.

Time Stamp: 3.37 - Loss of vacuum may occur in certain types of condensers.

Time Stamp: 3.46 - Disccus working conditions and increasing room temps for plant operators.

Time Stamp: 4.17 - Not meeting your process cooling temperatures;? You need a thorough analysis of why and the right solution to solve it.

Time Stamp: 4.10 As part of auditing your facility, walk the system completely and evaluate it. It is not always clear what methods are needed to meet process demands. This can be factors like geographic location and types of equipment in use.
