What is meant by refrigeration technology?
Refrigeration technology comprises the technologies and processes for generating and maintaining low temperatures in industrial and commercial applications. It plays a crucial role in various industries, including food processing, food storage, food transportation, air conditioning, vehicle cooling and data centre cooling, as well as in numerous industrial processes. The refrigeration cycle is one of the key components that make it possible to remove thermal energy from a system in order to achieve the desired cooling effect.
Efficient monitoring of the refrigeration cycle
In refrigeration technology, precise monitoring of the refrigeration cycle is crucial for the performance and efficiency of the systems. This includes the monitoring of pressure, temperature and other relevant parameters to ensure optimal function. Our high-quality measuring instruments help to ensure that refrigeration plants can be operated reliably and efficiently:
- Reliable pressure measurement: Our pressure gauges and pressure sensors offer maximum precision and reliability. They are able to accurately monitor both the high-pressure and low-pressure range of the refrigeration cycle.
- Temperature monitoring is another important aspect of refrigeration technology. Our temperature sensors and thermometers ensure accurate measurement and control of the temperatures within the system. This maximises the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle and ensures optimal refrigeration.
Measuring instruments for all requirements
We offer a wide range of measuring instruments that have been specially developed for the requirements of refrigeration technology. These include:
- Pressure sensors: For generating digital indication values and for seamless integration into automated systems.
- Temperature sensors: For precise temperature monitoring and control. This can also be used in automated systems.
- Pressure gauges: For accurate pressure monitoring in different parts of the refrigeration cycle.
- Thermometer: For temperature monitoring in the refrigeration cycle.
Refrigerants and waste heat
Refrigerants play a crucial role in refrigeration technology. They are the working medium that absorbs and dissipates heat in a cooling system. Choosing the right refrigerant can significantly impact the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the system. Equally important is the efficient use and dissipation of waste heat generated during refrigeration processes. Through targeted monitoring and control, waste heat can be used or dissipated sensibly in order to optimise the overall energy balance.
Cooling systems and industrial refrigeration
Our measuring instruments are ideally suited for use in various cooling systems and in industrial refrigeration. These systems require precise and reliable measurement technology to ensure continuous and efficient cooling. WIKA offers customised solutions for every application, from small commercial cooling systems to large industrial refrigeration plants.
