What Is The Difference Between AHU And FCU?

The world of commercial and industrial chillers is full of parts and devices, and it is always helpful to know what they are. Here at J.C Younger, we believe in keeping customers informed of everything one might need to know, so we bring you this post, which will cover two terms that may crop up when you are thinking about your business’s cooling needs. These terms are AHU and FCU. AHU AHU stands for ‘air handling unit,’ and is used to describe any device that handles air. This includes devices that transport, heat, or cool it. They are generally large machines that are part of a HVAC system and often take air from outside, condition it, and blow it into the building. Since they can handle a lot of air, they are often used to cool or heat whole buildings. If they are taking in 100% outside air and don’t recirculate any indoor air, they are called makeup air units, or MAU’s. The air handling units you see on roofs and outside of buildings are called either packaged units or rooftop units. FCU FCU stands for fan coil unit, and refers to a self-contained unit composed of a fan and a heating or cooling heat exchanger. The fans in FCU’s are, unlike in air handling units, put inside the same space as the fan coil unit. FCU’s can be controlled by a manual switch or a thermostat. As a rule, they are small units that re-circulate air through a building instead of taking air from outside. Smaller fan coil units are sometimes called terminal units because they can be seen as little air handling units for single rooms. These units can be either mounted on the ceiling of a room or on the floor. The Differences Between AHU’s and FCU’s AHU’s are often used outside, especially as rooftop units. FCU’s have only one fan, whereas AHU’s can have multiple fans AHU’s often have different controls for parts of the system, for instance they might have temperature sensors, actuators, and humidity sensors. AHU’s are more complex and can have sections for humidifying and reheating. They often have vibration isolators, mixing chambers, and other components. Since they often take air from outside, they almost always have a filter of some sort in the first section of the device so that the debris from the air doesn’t contaminate the other sections. FCU’s are generally used for controlling the space where they are installed. AHU’s are part of a larger system. FCU’s don’t generally use ductwork to cool or heat air. The fan pulls the air over the coil. FCU’s can handle water. Air handler units normally put their fans at their ends or where the ducts originate in order to accommodate the many other moving parts that are part of the system. J.C Younger has been manufacturing and remanufacturing chillers for commercial applications since 1956, and we are very familiar with the intricacies of air handling units and fan coil units. Our company carries chillers that you can rent from anywhere from a week to long term R&D applications, and we have some you can buy. We have technicians to help troubleshoot chillers, total chiller packages to ensure that you have all your needs met, pre-mixed glycol, and technical know-how to help you pick the right chiller for your needs. We can pick the right size chiller based on the information you give us about your needs. All this means that if you feel that your company needs to rent or buy a chiller, we will be able to meet your needs. Please contact us. We’ll be glad to help.

Absorption Chillers: An Integral Part of “District Cooling” | JC Younger

What is District Cooling? It’s a worldwide goal to find more efficient and environmental-friendly solutions to using energy for cooling and heating as through district energy systems (DES). District cooling, one part of DES, is now the “modern, efficient way to air condition a network of buildings in cities or campuses,” as found on International District Energy Association. Absorption chiller is an integral part of District Cooling. In place of cooling systems for multiple buildings, “central cooling plants” are being configured to accommodate the “industrial-grade equipment” to process “chilled water” to flow through a network of pipes, located underground, beneath the buildings. In some district cooling systems, the water passes through absorption chillers to enter into a building’s air conditioning system. A Scaling Impact on Cities Around the World Electric grids, around the world, are realizing a significant relief of electrical strain when there is high demand for air conditioning. The efficiency delivered using district cooling is helping global cities to scale their energy infrastructures with healthier “electric loads, and lower “fuel costs.” Not to mention, the cost savings of capital expenditures on cooling systems for individual organizations. It’s Not A New Innovation The idea is not new to the United States, historical records reveal that Denver had “the world’s first district cooling scheme in 1889.” It is also documented, “in the 1930s, New York City Rockefeller Center and Washington DC’s capitol buildings also featured district cooling systems for which absorption chillers is integral part .” Water: Important to District Cooling As with any chiller system, maintaining the quality of the liquid is vital to the lifespan of any district cooling schematic. An advantage of district cooling is the use of the same water is what circulates throughout the system. The key is to begin the process with quality water, which is “free of any contaminants,” to begin the cooling process. Frequent water quality checks are recommended to keep the district cooling system clean of corrosion and rust. Benefits of District Energy Systems So many systems within industries, around the world, are advancing with new technology. New technology is also helping district energy systems (DES) to evolve, inclusive of district cooling, as found on Burnham. “According to the United National Environmental Programme (UNEP), District Energy in Cities (UNEP Report), “space heating and cooling as well as hot water are estimated to account for roughly half of global energy consumption in buildings” so methods for more efficient systems are essential.” An array of benefits can be realized by integrating district energy systems. Greenhouse gas emissions are lowered. System upgrades are more efficient to upgrade and integrate new technology. Peak load demands are balanced and more controlled. Air pollution is lowered. Global warming is decreased. Urban growth increases that also increases DES sustainability. Energy costs are more easily forecasted. “Decreased the need for investments in power generation and transmission infrastructure.” It opens up space that would have been used for huge, building cooling systems. As with any major system overhaul, it is the “initial capital investment” that is hindering the expansion of DES, but “there is increasing deployment of district cooling systems which can reduce electricity consumption and the use of HFCs, both major contributors to climate change.” The city of Chicago is the metropolis in the United States that has initiated district cooling systems.

Keep Your Chiller System Efficiently Operating

J.C. Younger, The Manufacturers of Maintenance-Friendly Chillers Since 1956, the team at J.C. Younger (JCY) has been manufacturing and remanufacturing light commercial and industrial package chillers for every temperature-controlled application. All of our chillers, rentals and sales, are built to be customer-friendly. Not only do we build our chillers to be operationally-friendly, but we also build our chillers to be maintenance-friendly. Set Up a Plan for Monitoring and Maintenance It is vital that your chiller system is consistently monitored and regularly maintained. It takes planning to set up a schedule for annual maintenance. Select the time of year that will be least disruptive to your operation to set for preventive maintenance (PM). Plan for system shut down with a temporary solution. Keep your daily logs to alert you on possible problems. What Should be Monitored Daily? Daily monitoring is critical to keeping your chiller system working without worries. Not addressing minor problems may result in serious results that may lead to expensive repairs. A thorough checklist will guide you for your daily monitoring. A good reference, Goodway Technologies Corporation, is an informative resource that may help you keep your chiller system efficiently running while pointing out the importance of chiller monitoring and maintenance. As reported, “chiller problems tend to develop slowly, and the daily tracking of key operating parameters will alert you to problems before they get out of hand.” Again, our list we cited in an earlier blog gives you a good idea of where common problems begin. Be aware of any unusual sounds or vibrations, and be sure parts have not vibrated loose. Always quickly address any alert codes. Daily Log Tube Corrosion Fluid Leaks Water Treatment Analyze Refrigerant and Oil Cooling Tower Checks (if applicable) What is Done During Preventive Maintenance? As the Goodway article mentions, your annual PM will include review of the daily logs looking for any inconsistencies that may signal an area of concern. Depending on the age of your chiller system, it may be a good idea to set bi-annual PMs. Any monies you spend on preventive maintenance will be a much lower expense than unexpected downtime. Tube cleaning may even be needed more than once per year. The compressor, evaporator, and condenser are thoroughly checked and cleaned where applicable. That includes fans, pumps, motors, and electrical wiring. Tests are done to check for fluid leaks and water quality. That includes oil, refrigerant and water. Glycol mixture, when applicable, is checked. The Advantages of J.C. Younger Chiller Systems At J.C. Younger, we take great pride in the service and support we deliver to our customers that keep our chillers efficiently operating.

It’s 2019 and Time for a Brewery Chiller Recap

Years of Experience with Breweries The team at J.C. Younger Company (JCY) has years of experience in many types of chillers. Since our inception in 1956, we have the educated and skilled technicians to expertly advise anyone looking to get into the brewery business when it comes to chiller needs. If you are thinking about joining other crafters of the brew, we thought we would help you find some interesting information about this industry. Where Craft Breweries Are Located in the United States A recent report found on Forbes, you will see where the highest percentage of craft breweries are located. As you can see, our state of Minnesota is among the top 10 states with “31%” of the breweries located right here. Found on the Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club, you can find the locations of the microbreweries by state. As for Minnesota, we have a history for being the “home to some of America’s best-kept craft brewery secrets.” Opening Your Own Craft Brewery There is quite a bit to consider, learn and understand to join the craft brewers around the country. As found on NerdWallet, you want to be sure to know “the cost, location and your business goals before opening your own brewery.” How the J.C. Younger Company Can Help with the Brewery Chiller Decision We have previous blogs that can also help you with your research regarding brewery chillers. “Glycol Beer Chillers for Breweries” explains why a glycol chiller is a better choice over a water-based chiller. Your wort is cooled quicker with a smaller glycol chiller. And, “the cold temperatures provided by glycol allow the chiller to respond to temperature spikes quickly.” To further substantiate this information is found on the Brewers Association regarding “Glycol Chiller Maintenance” is also great information. As it states, it is important “to check with your manufacturer for items and procedures specific to your chillers.” That leads to our next blog. “Rental Brewery Chillers for Startup Breweries” explains why you may want to consider renting your brewery chiller first. If or, “when cooling needs change, rental chillers can be added to or downsized easily.” We want to work with our customers to help them make the right decisions before they lock themselves into the wrong chiller. Rentals offer options. “Calculation The Size Of Brewery Chiller For a Craft Bees Brewer’s Needs” gives you the math for chiller sizing. As we mention, “renting a chiller gives a brewer more options and assurances, such as minimal up-front investment, upgrade or downsize options, damage protection, maintenance, tax incentives and rapid response for delivery and repairs.” “Brewery Chiller Maintenance is Essential” to keeping your brew continuing to flow in perfection. As mentioned above in the Brewers Association article, “regular maintenance will increase both their service life and dependability.” Check with us at JCY about our rentals and the routine maintenance that goes along with them. As our blog, “Brewery Chillers – Custom Designed and Fabricated by J.C. Younger” states, we have the expertise, knowledge, and training to “custom design and fabricate exactly the brewing chiller that works for your beer brewing process.” Whether indoors or outdoors, we can build it with quality parts without any specialty parts. What J.C. Younger Offers Beyond Great Brewery Chillers We have customers all across America, and it is the trust we build with our customers that is also important to the JCY team. Our customers learn they have our JCY Advantagebehind them when they become our customer. Learn more about our rental program that will help you learn more before you make a big investment.

2019: A Significant Year for Distilleries

What Happened 100 Years Ago? There is nothing like spicing up the chiller industry with interesting and relevant history. Many young adults cannot imagine life without color TV, cell phones and the celebrations that include beer, wine, and liquors. A lot has happened in the last 100 years. For anyone in the distilling craft, January 16th is a day that changed life in the United States one hundred years ago. As found on Distillery Trail, “January 16, 1919, the U.S. Votes Itself Dry.” An interesting history followed with the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. 1920 and 1933 – What Happened? Distilleries didn’t shut down. They went underground. As found on The Guardian, “How Prohibition backfired and gave America an era of gangsters and speakeasies” reveals that underground establishments flourished. Alcohol became big business for those who defied the law, but these illegal bars catered to everyone. Not to mention the “bootleggers” that prospered from their hidden distilleries around the country. With the failure of Prohibition recognized, “the American dry spell lasted until the 21st Amendment grants states the right to control alcohol.” As of “December 5, 133, Utah became the final state needed for ratification.” Step Way Back in Time Before 1919 More interesting history of distillation takes us back many, many centuries before our time as found on VinePair. The distilling process was actually a result of alchemy. As reported, there was evidence of crude-made liquors before alchemy. Liquors are known to have been made from “rice and mare’s milk in Asia as far back as 800 B.C.” Fast forward to “the 8th century A.D. that an Arabic alchemist designed the alembic pot still.” It was this innovative “contraption that allowed for the effective distillation of alcohol” for medicinal purposes. It took centuries for distilled alcohol to become a recreation past-time. Fast Forward to 2019 at JCY – High-Quality Chiller Rentals and Sales for 63 Years!

Is It Time to Plan for a New Industrial Chiller System?

Life of Industrial Chillers Varies Among the Types For anyone who is a novice when it comes to chiller systems, there is a lot of information that can be overwhelming. Just looking at the type and age of your chiller system is a good place to start as found on facilitiesnet.com. When temperatures are cool or cold, it may be the perfect time to replace a building’s cooling system. Planning a replacement does take time and planning. The team at J.C. Younger (JCY) is here to help. Types of Industrial Chillers The three types of chillers are air-cooled, water-cooled and evaporative condensed units. The age of chillers can vary between 10 and 25+ years depending on its sub-type and use. For every type of chillers, there are four subtypes to include reciprocating, centrifugal, screw-drive, and absorption chillers. Not sure if you have the best type for your needs? J.C. Younger will explain if you need a different chiller type. When the Obvious is Unavoidable – New Equipment and the Benefits If your chiller system is more than twenty-years-old, it is time to evaluate its replacement. Continuing unexpected repairs is a definite sign to begin the planning process. Energy efficiency is a big factor in replacing an old chiller system. Along with the added benefits of cost saving rebates, technology has introduced “predictive maintenance.” Knowing that parts are not properly functioning will help in equipment failures. Eco-friendly refrigerants are now being used that will help in the reduction of gases affecting our environment. What to Consider in the Planning Process? With proper planning, chiller system replacement will go much smoother. Calling the JCY team will help the process move quicker. 1. How has the building changed since the current unit was installed? Your system’s load requirements may now be quite different than the original load capacity. 2. What future changes could affect a chiller system’s load? The JCY team can help guide you through the changes that could affect your chiller system. 3. Selecting the best system. JCY can make this process easy with our ability and skill to customize your system to your exact present and future needs. Is the type of chiller you have still the best type? Where will the new system be placed? Is the electrical capacity sufficient? What size unit should be purchased? Will you need a temporary unit? Why J.C. Younger?

Your Options When Winter Months Cause Chiller Concerns

Winter Has Arrived; J.C. Younger is Here to Help! As we have seen this year, winter blasted in with wild temperature swings. For those chillers that aren’t prepared for freezing temperatures, you may experience shutdown below certain temperatures. No matter your troubles, the team at J.C. Younger are here for you. We work with companies all over the country, so we are well versed in the varying climates. We work with many companies and requiring chillers for their applications. Caring for Chillers in the Winter Preventive maintenance is a key to keeping your chiller systems working efficiently through the harsh, winter months. If you are located in part of the country experiencing freezing temperatures, it is important that you maintain your chillers or you may experience a decrease in performance or even a shutdown. If you don’t have a routine preventive maintenance plan, it is important to start one. It is always good to understand how to troubleshoot common problems that occur with chillers. It may not necessarily be the freezing temperatures. Checking the levels of glycol is very important during the cold months. Not keeping the correct mix of glycol to water can result in freezing conditions that can cause severe damage to your system. Keep the chiller coils and condenser fans free of those pollutants that can build up and cause a decrease in output. Check for any buildup in the strainers, and check for any leaks that can cause freezing conditions to the system. An Option for the Winter Months A better option is using J.C. Younger’s winter chillers that are built specifically to handle the harsh temperatures during winter months. Not only do you not have to worry about your system malfunctioning, but you can also utilize this as your annual preventive maintenance downtime. If you have an older chiller that is temperamental to temperature drops, your business will benefit from a seasonal rental from us. By renting one of our winter chillers, you get our JCY Advantage that includes our exceptional, 24/7 customer support. Our chillers are user-friendly, and most problems can be solved over the phone. Renting is also a great way to see the manufacturing excellence in our products. Whatever your business requires, we can customize a rental to your specific needs. An Option for the Future If you are in the market for a new chiller, and you have had problems with your current system, we would like to chat with you. We know chillers, and we have years of experience manufacturing and remanufacturing chillers. If you’re on a budget, talk with us about our remanufactured chillers.
