When cooling raw milk, every degree in temperature above 40°F (4°C) elevates bacteria counts and decreases the shelf life. Close temperature control, clean milk, and sanitary equipment help many dairymen earn quality premiums and avoid penalties based on reduced bacteria counts. According to Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) regulations, the raw milk total bacteria count (TBC)…
In addition to a recent article in Process Cooling Magazine, Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions’ Marketing Communications Manager Bonnie Martens appeared on the Process Cooling podcast. Listen as Martens discusses chiller maintenance and evaluation tips; proper glycol monitoring and levels; voltage inspections; start-up and shut-down procedures; proper chiller placement; and more. Utilizing the tips in this…
Process Cooling Magazine recently shared an article written by Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions entitled “Improving Productivity and Performance with a Central Chiller.” Using a central chilling system has many advantages that contribute to improving ambient conditions, product quality and production time. Manufacturing processes can produce adverse ambient conditions that can affect employees, production uptime and…
Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions recently entered the dairy market to provide reliable and expandable chiller solutions for milking operations. Steve Weisman from American Dairymen highlighted our P Series in advance of last year’s World Dairy Expo. As we prepare for the World Ag Expo in California Feb. 12-14, we invite you to learn more about our dairy…
Process Cooling Magazine recently shared an article written by Dimplex Thermal Solutions entitled “Select a Chiller based on Total Cost of Ownership.” Selecting and purchasing an industrial chiller can represent a significant investment of time and money: one that should make financial sense upfront and for the life of the equipment. Careful planning before a chiller…
How much does it cost when a chiller is down for an hour, a day, or longer? Build in chiller redundancy to virtually eliminate downtime. Redundancy can be achieved with an N+1 design, where N is the number of cooling circuits required for cooling the heat load and +1 is the redundancy. This type of…
Chiller redundancy provides increased reliability and energy efficiency. Manufacturers build redundancy into many operations in a facility, so why not into the chillers? This single question opens the door to a host of others: How much does it cost when a chiller is down for an hour, a day or longer? How do you build…
Advanced Manufacturing recently shared an article written by Josh Roby, Director of Engineering at Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions entitled “New Chiller Technology Help Industrial Lasers Keep Their Cool.” Industrial lasers require cooling to remove excess heat generated in the resonator power electronics and the optics system. The type of cooling required is determined by laser…
Industrial lasers are used for a variety of applications – from cutting, printing, and welding to marking and drilling – each with its own specific requirements. Regardless of the laser’s purpose, cooling at a consistent, precise temperature is key to the laser’s efficiency and total cost of ownership. Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions (GDTS) set out…
Process Cooling Magazine recently shared an article written by Dimplex Thermal Solutions entitled “Chiller Selection: Balancing Precision and Cost.” Specifying a chiller for a given application requires understanding the process to be cooled and its temperature stability demands. Many processes can be adequately supported with ±3°F temperature precision. Others benefit from more precise temperature control.…
