Architects and engineers have two options when specifying the design and construction of kitchen hood exhaust ducts. They can use field-fabricated or factory-built grease ducts.
But, which option is the best?
It took a while for the spring weather to arrive in the Midwest, but now the temperature is quickly warming up, and we can finally say that the cooling season has started. In the HVAC world, that means it is time to start up your chiller(s).
Did you know that metals such as copper and silver can be used for water treatment when ionized?
In fact, copper-silver ionization is one of the oldest and most effective water disinfection solutions that we are aware of.
HVAC systems are a vital piece of critical environments. Triatek mitigates the spread of dangerous airborne contaminants and prevents harmful chemicals from re-circulating in the air.
Chemical water treatment has always been one of the biggest safety concerns when managing a facility. The reasons are numerous: drums of toxic chlorine, wash stations, emergency contact procedures, and legionella to name a few …
In the HVAC industry, water and energy use are closely related. In fact, we could say that they are interdependent.
Sum up high energy rates in your facility to over-billing by energy companies and you ‘ll see profits drop. Add old equipment in your building and it sounds even worse.
What can you do?
Midwest Machinery has sold and started up A TON of boilers to date.
In the last 10 years, high-efficiency, high turn-down boilers have become the gold standard. Just like a Ferrari, which needs the right fuel, brakes, tires, and equipment precisely tuned to run like a champ – so does your new boiler.

Spring is coming, and sooner than later you will have to start up your cooling tower again. If you have worked on a season lay-up or storage inhibitors, your job will be easier. But most of us get so involved in cleaning, repairing or replacing chillers that forget about the importance of maintaining the cooling tower in the cold season. If that is the case, your startup process will need more attention.
