GEA strengthens position in refrigeration components

Bochum (ots) - GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft has its Division
Refrigeration technology through the acquisition of Eurotek Engineering Ltd.. with
Based in Norwich, UK, further strengthened. Eurotek is a
leader in refrigeration and freezing equipment in the
Food production, and in 2007 with 21
Employees generated sales of about EUR 8 million. The
Acquisition became the 16th January 2009 completed.

Thermal Hybrid protect the climate

REFRIGERATION: What paradoxical at first glance, proves on closer inspection to be useful: the simultaneous, combined generation of heat and cold, for example, opened in the food industry and trade offer high potential. Appropriate combinations of refrigeration and heat pump save money and protect the environment.


Many industries have taken up the cause to emit less CO2, including the food industry and the food trade. This has a double effect, for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions means less energy consumption and lower production costs.

Fans with diffuser refrigeration components to reduce leakage losses

Breakthrough for higher efficiency with lower operating noise

With the help of a diffuser can now also be the loss to the impeller outlet are significantly reduced.
will Mulfingen, 03.29.2012, issued in refrigeration and cooling systems must be exhaust heat to the ambient air via a heat exchanger. Fans therefore encourage cooling air through the heat exchanger and thus improve the heat dissipation. For very efficient, quiet and durable fans there are a number of opportunities in design and interpretation. A new, passive component, the so-called diffuser, provides a significant improvement of efficiency and noise. Its pressure-increasing effect of minimizing the leakage losses and allows a better adaptation of the fan from any standard heat exchangers.

Each medium can only absorb a certain amount of heat per degree Kelvin. Due to the potential temperature difference and the amount of heat so the required cooling flow rate is fixed. This air flow must be a fan through the heat exchanger under consideration promote. Since refrigeration systems are usually operated at high duty cycle, is an economical use of energy used in driving important because each additional watt costs money. By a suitably-Marinated fan impeller, an air flow is generated. It is separation and backflow be avoided because they produce energy losses and unwanted noise. This procedure is state of the art, all manufacturers now dominate more or less. ebm-papst, the leading manufacturer of motors and fans, is now one step further: With the help of a diffuser can now also be the loss to the impeller outlet are significantly reduced.

Climate change and the importance of the refrigeration

Climate change, greenhouse effect and global warming - in the 21
Century there is hardly a topic that is discussed as ubiquitous and
"hot". Convinced skeptics of human-induced climate change refer to
epochs of geological history, in which the Earth is heated strongly,
even without our help or cooled. Also they see a future climate change
due mainly of course, among other things, by a modified elliptical
orbit like the Earth around the sun. Climate scientists argue that it
is today but also a significant human contribution to greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere, which will provide added that the earth is warming
up to the end of this century by a few degrees Celsius. The reason for
this is especially the industrial and technological development over
the past 150 years. Climate change and CO2 emissions, however, were
not initially known. They moved only gradually, increasingly from the
1960s into the public consciousness.

Corn harvest comes into its own hall

Münster-Sprakel - The 18th July 2010, will not forget Sprakel Schulze family. That night, when the machine hall and the large barns were ablaze. A nightmare. 41 pigs died in the fire, 120 could be saved. 80 firefighters were on duty, prevented a massive fire-fighting the spread of flames to other buildings. Cause of the fire was a technical defect. Now, one year later, Stefan Schulze Sprakel before the new hall and have the assurance that he, at least this time the corn harvest, which begins about four weeks can store itself.

It was not possible last year. He had to sell his grain to the country store and buy ready-made food for the pigs. "There is a lot of work and a lot of work behind us," he flatly states. Last year he was "often went to the limit." In the difficult situation he was advised by his insurance agent Paul Everding and felt well supported

The new building, planned largely by the Office Witech, was created at the exact spot where stood the old hall. 2000 tons of recycled gravel have now been processed, 630 cubic meters of concrete, 48 tons of structural steel and several truckloads of wood. "Like many, I really do not know," he says. The trusses hall measures 25 by 40 meters high and is 11.50 meters, the ridge height. There is a reason: "We need a reasonable sound insulation to the highway," says Stefan Schulze Sprakel. Nevertheless, there are standard dimensions, that is a "Hall of the rack," so it does not already become too expensive.

To harvest the hall was not finished, the decisions about the plans, as it should have, taken. That was no problem this time: Stefan Schulze Sprakel has stored his corn to 90 percent at Raiffeisen Bever-Ems and receives back an equivalent, if it is needed. When he from the main house looks over to the new hall, the relief is to look at him: He knows that a new era has begun and a difficult phase is managed.

refrigeration equipment book

Refrigeration Equipment is a clear, practical guide to the installation, testing and servicing of industrial and domestic refrigeration equipment.


Refrigeration technicians, who are poorly provided with good reference material, will welcome the author's hands-on approach. Other readers will include trainees on in-plant industry courses, building service engineers and maintenance staff in the frozen food industry, supermarkets, hotels and hospitals. It also provides a text from NVQs (C&G 6007) and other vocational courses).
