BAC reinvents heat-rejection
Baltimore Aircoil Company highlights its leading innovative and sustainable products for refrigeration . Developing and offering sustainable products is a cornerstone of BAC ’ s environmental , social , and governance commitments . Baltimore Aircoil Company , Inc . Reinvents Heat-Rejection to Sustain the World with Environmentally Friendly Refrigeration Products . BAC ’ s sustainable heat-rejection products for refrigeration include the CXVT Evaporative Condenser XE models , the Vertex™ Evaporative Condenser , and the TrilliumSeries™ Adiabatic Condenser . The design of these products significantly improves environmental lifetime operating impact by addressing factors such as energy usage , water and chemical usage , refrigerant impact , maintenance , and consumables . BAC has the most direct-drive
EC systems in the market . These systems reduce energy usage by eliminating friction from belts and pulleys and also eliminate efficiency degradation that can result from belt slippage and pulley wear . They also provide extremely high motor efficiency and part-load operation . The materials of construction offered by BAC help reduce water and chemical usage . For example , Evertough™ Construction and the TriArmor ® Corrosion Protection System basin allow customers to operate condensers with increased cycles of concentration , reducing water and chemical usage by up to 20 %. Specifically , the smart basin design of Vertex Evaporative Condensers results in 30 % less water operating volume , thus using less water and chemicals . Adiabatic technology also reduces water usage anywhere from 30 % to 80 %, due to its ability to only use water when necessary . www . heat-exchanger-world . com Heat Exchanger World September 2023
