Why Oil in Chillers is Old School Oil as a lubricant in a chiller makes for a significantly more complicated machine. There is a complete system that is designed and maintained to allow oil to lubricate a chiller. Check out this video which explains how the oil needs to supplied and maintained in a typical… Read more »
Energy Efficiency at its Peak! System performance and energy recovery rates of 70-90% are achieved with the new generation “Eiger” System Controller! The special design of Konvekta’s high-performance coils with headers on both sides of the coil ensures cross-counter flow and achieves almost pure counter current. This is a prerequisite for high energy efficiency in… Read more »
Topic: High Performance Run Around Energy Recovery Systems Guest Blogger: Rudolf Zaengerle, Ph. D. Konvekta USA, Inc There is some confusion about the terms ‘efficiency’ and ‘effectiveness’: Efficiency ASHRAE defines ‘temperature transfer efficiency’ (or sometimes ‘enthalpy transfer efficiency’ if enthalpy is used instead of temperature) as follows: μT = (TE1 – TE2) / (TE1 –… Read more »
