Integrated cold storage monitoring
Delta Ohm’s HD35 data logger for
integrated cold storage monitoring offers
tailored data management. Locally
available from GHM Messtechnik SA, the
HD35 is a continuously measuring data
logger system that offers many other
perks.
In addition to the main measured
variable (temperature), the cold storage
doors can be monitored and an alarm
(optical and acoustic) triggered in select
locations within the facility when the doors
are left open too long.
The HD35 wireless data logger
system offers the cold storage
operator the optimal solution for their
requirements. The data recorded
from several cold storage facilities
and laboratories is stored collectively
in a local database and is accessible
to and viewable from multiple work
stations at the same time.
The customer also benefits from the
optical and acoustic alarm signalling,
as well as the possibility of expanding
the overall system with additional data
loggers almost arbitrarily. Consequently,
using the GHM Group’s technology
ensures cost-effective and future-proof
implementation.

Local HFC receiver Low-cost thermal imaging
Fire and Security Techniques (FST)
is diversifying into the HVAC&R
industry with the launch of its new
HFC receiver for commercial Flir Systems has launched Flir One Pro
LT, a new lower-price thermal imaging
attachment for smartphones . It features
many of the professional-level tools and
advanced thermal image quality that
refrigeration equipment. The locally
designed and manufactured HFC
receiver is intended as a cost-
effective, high-quality alternative
to competitor products.
A receiver is a common accessory
found on many refrigeration systems.
Also known as a liquid receiver, it is
essentially a pressure vessel designed
specifically to contain liquid refrigerant.
FST is already fully equipped to
manufacture such cylinders locally.
The main function of the receiver is
that it allows a refrigeration system to
react to changing heat loads by varying
the refrigerant flow, which means that
the cooling capacity can be adjusted
accordingly. However, this functionality
requires a thermostatic expansion valve,
in conjunction with the receiver itself.
The valve gear makes it possible to

‘pump down’ a refrigeration system so
that all of the refrigerant is contained
in the receiver, which is a critical
requirement if any equipment has to
be maintained or repaired, especially
in terms of health and safety, and
preventing any refrigerant from venting
into the atmosphere.

define the Flir One Pro series.
Key tools include Flir’s patented
MSX image enhancement, which
combines the thermal image and a
high-definition visible camera image
to produce crisp, detailed images that
are easy to interpret. All Flir One Pro
models feature FLIR’s MSX and VividIR
video signal processing technology to
deliver improved thermal image quality
and clarity. The patent-pending OneFit
camera connector allows users to adjust
the device to attach to their smartphone
through many popular protective cases.
Flir is also releasing an updated version
of the Flir One App, which includes
tools such as multiple spot temperature
meters, custom on-screen temperature
tracking regions, helpful tips for problem
solving, and use cases. Smartwatch
