A team of engineers from Purdue University, Air Squared Inc., and Whirlpool Corporation is working on building a fridge for zero gravity that operates in different orientations and just as well as the one in your kitchen, giving astronauts access to longer-lasting and more nutritious food.

Schoeneck Containers partnered with Thermal Care to specify the Danfoss Turbocor compressor for the scalable capacity, staging abilities, overall efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance requirements.

Using both the refrigeration and utility systems to recover heat can lower energy consumption and its associated costs.

Removing oil from the chiller system results in a more simplified chiller design that eliminates frequent maintenance tasks required on traditional oiled chiller systems such as analyzing the oil for contaminants and changing the oil and filters.

‘Microgrid’ utility for Eastman Business Park foresees macro $650,000 annual chiller energy savings with Danfoss Turbocor® compressors.

A variety of cold storage facilities will also be needed to meet new customer demands.

Innovation is the key that is unlocking the potential of the new refrigerants to create a low-GWP future.
