PRODUCTS INCORPORATING INCORPORATING COLD COLD CHAIN CHAIN 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. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 902 0158.

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 44 ‘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.
