Design for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
The key to meeting client needs and technical standards.
The effective design of climate control systems (including Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) can make a huge difference to how we feel within our working environments, improve our performance and help promote overall well-being.
We all want to work in a nice environment and feel comfortable, this way we contribute more by focussing on the positive. Things like indoor air quality, lighting, temperature, humidity, and air movement when correct generally go unnoticed, but when they are poor, they are likely to have a negative impact on people and performance.
It’s not always easy to please all the people all the time but in most cases good design and correct application gets you a long way toward it.
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning system designs for positive working environments
At Pitkin & Ruddock we have the depth of knowledge, experience and practical understanding to identify the factors that ensure our Refrigeration and Air Conditioning system designs promote all the positives for working environments in a wide range of commercial and industrial sectors. We understand how various things interact to affect your environments in both positive and negative ways, so of course by understanding this we can be proactive and promote the correct design and associated equipment for the best results.
Good design and innovation can also help us make the most of the limited resources we have available, this includes things like energy use and eco-efficiency, recycling and the circular economy all of which are becoming more and more important to us all as we realise these are finite things on a small sphere spinning around the sun.
Industry standards and accepted good practice in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning design
Primarily mechanical system designs need to be safe as well as functional, and we as engineers even like them to look good too. To this end we follow all the relevant industry standards and accepted good practice as well as staying aware of future trends and direction.
We share the experience and the knowledge base we have within our organisation and with others in the RACHP industry, we invest in and train our people at all levels to ensure they can offer the best advice and practical assistance to our customers.
Our aim is not only to provide our customers with the best fit for purpose equipment and service but help them to improve their businesses which in turn helps us, after all everyone wants to be associated with a success story.
Our team of Technical Sales & Projects Engineers who design and oversee the installation of Air Conditioning & Refrigeration equipment are vastly experienced across a wide range of industries and enjoy the challenges that customers present us with.
So, if you have a Refrigeration or Air Conditioning project that needs looking at please get in touch.
