Points to Consider Before you Invest in a Water-Cooled Chiller for your Plant

Chillers are key equipment required by almost all the industries. They are useful in Pharmaceutical industry to keep the medicines at the prescribed temperature, chillers are used in dairy industries to keep milk and other milk products in a cool temperature and reduce the heat damage before they are sold in the market, they are used in breweries to maintain proper temperatures so that the malts are stored at proper conditions without any fluctuations in temperature that might affect their quality and taste, similarly they are used in many other industries like food processing, meat and poultry, and so on.

Benefits of using Water-Cooled Chillers
  • The water-cooled chillers are durable and have a high life time. They do not need frequent replacement as they are less vulnerable to external factors such as heat, rain and cold.
  • These chillers work noiselessly when compared to the noisy air-cooled chillers. The chillers are most suitable for places which require silent environment like hospitals and schools.
  • These chillers are energy efficient and save costs for the organizations using them. The film factor is much better than the air-cooled chillers which helps them in blocking heat more effectively, which results in consumption of less energy.
  • The water –cooled chillers use water as the coolant, unlike the harmful chemicals used by the air-cooled chillers. This makes the usage of water-cooled chillers safe for the people and safe for the environment as well.
Drawbacks of Water-Cooled Chillers
  • Water cooled chillers are costly in comparison with the air-cooled chillers because they require costly equipment such as cooling towers and condensate pumps. But these higher costs are set-off with the energy savings and durable operation of these chillers.
  • The water-cooled systems require regular maintenance. Companies which install water-cooled chillers have to follow regular cleaning schedules with regular check-ups of various components, removal of impurities from water, cleaning of chillers and water treatment.
  • The water-cooled chillers have a lot of components like chilling towers and condensation pumps, which make the process of installation complex and cumbersome. The complex installation procedures also increase the installation costs of these chillers.
  • These chillers need a separate space for the additional components. They need a separate mechanical room to install the cooling towers and other components, to ensure their proper functioning.
  • As the chillers require huge quantities of water to keep them running, they are not suitable for organizations in arid and drought prone areas.
  • Water cooled chillers are not suitable for areas with higher humidity levels.
These are some of the benefits and drawbacks of using water-cooled chillers. The organizations should base their decisions on the individual requirements keeping in mind these advantages and drawbacks.

How to Select Cuvettes for UV VIS Measurements & Cuvette Material Guide

As it is a known fact that Cuvettes are used by the researchers is the laboratories for different experiments and the materials used in the Cuvettes may not be the same. In the same way buying UV VIS Cuvettes is not so easy.   Following the points provided here you can go for a Cuvette of your choice. Cuvette Material: Cuvette material is the most important part to be considered while buying a UV VIS measurement as various types of materials may be used whole assembling Cuvettes. The four best Cuvette materials are as follows UV quartz, IR quartz, Sapphire and optical Glass or Pyrex glass. All the four materials are best in their nature and it purely depends on the applications based on which the materials are Chosen. Source: fireflysci.com Optical Glass Cuvette : The cheapest and will be helpful when you are running out of money. Optical glass functions nicely with VIS range and maintain 340-2500 mm transmission range. Optical glass is used for number of applications an

miVac – Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators

A range of centrifugal vacuum concentrators that has the capacity or capability in eradicating the organic solvents and water from the different formats of samples involves vials, tubes and microplates is known to be miVac centrifugal concentrator from the Genevac. It is also utilized for freezing the dry samples that are normally aqueous. The systems of the miVac are suitable to be utilized with the various types of solvents from the volatile organic kinds through to the water and various solvents of the medium boiling point. The choice of medium or high vacuum pump and a dedicated system of DNA with a pump that is built in are provided. The rotors are picked based on the type of sample formats in the utilization. And can incorporate deep as well as shallow well microplates, tubes, and glass vials. The rotors chosen can be simply replaceable. While utilizing the high vacuum pump, the specimens might be freeze dried using the accessory kit of freeze drying, either in the pre-frozen f
