Ammonia Refrigeration (R-717) – Why It Still Dominates Industrial Cold Chain and What That Means for the Used Equipment Market
Industrial refrigeration has been shaped by more than 140 years of operating experience with ammonia. Through every refrigerant trend — from CFCs to HCFCs to HFCs and now to low-GWP…
Screw Compressor vs. Reciprocating Compressor – Which Is Right for Your Operation?
The compressor is the heart of any industrial refrigeration system. Everything else — the condensers, the evaporators, the vessels, the controls — is built around what the compressor does. Getting…
Used vs. New Industrial Refrigeration Equipment – The Real Cost Comparison
Every plant manager and procurement professional in the industrial refrigeration space eventually faces the same decision: do you buy new, or do you source quality used and surplus equipment? It…
Building a System with Used Components: How to Integrate Pre-Owned Compressors and Condensers
Designing or overhauling an industrial refrigeration system is a complex task, especially when balancing performance, reliability, and budget. For experienced buyers, engineers, and consultants, sourcing used industrial refrigeration equipment is…
What to Look For in a Used Ammonia Compressor Package: A Focus on Vilter, Mycom, and Frick
Buying a used ammonia compressor package can be one of the smartest decisions an industrial refrigeration operator makes—or one of the riskiest. The difference comes down to how well the…
The Critical Role of GEA and FES Screw Compressors in Large-Scale Industrial Food Processing
In industrial food processing, refrigeration is not just a support system. It is a core operational requirement that directly affects food safety, product quality, throughput, and regulatory compliance. From meat…
Maximizing Efficiency with Pre-Owned Evapco and BAC Evaporative Condensers
In industrial refrigeration, efficiency is not a nice-to-have. It directly impacts energy costs, system stability, and long-term operating budgets. While new equipment often gets the spotlight, many operators are finding…
From Frick to Howden: Sourcing a Reliable Used Screw Compressor for a System Retrofit
System retrofits are one of the most demanding scenarios in industrial refrigeration. Whether driven by equipment failure, capacity changes, or efficiency upgrades, replacing a screw compressor is rarely a simple…
The Resilience of Reciprocating Compressors: Evaluating Used Vilter, Carrier, Copeland, and Grasso Models
In an industry that constantly pushes toward higher capacity and efficiency, reciprocating compressors continue to prove their value. Often overlooked in favor of screw compressors, reciprocating technology remains a resilient…
