EVAPCO was selected to attend the 2018 ARPA-E Congressional Showcase that took place March 12 in the Dirksen Senate Building on Capitol Hill. ARPA-E, or Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, is a United States government agency tasked with promoting and funding research and development of advanced energy technologies. It is modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. EVAPCO partnered with the University of Cincinnati to present our “Enhanced Air-Cooling System with Optimized Asynchronously-Cooled Thermal Energy Storage.” Top research teams were selected by ARPA-E and

Check out this awesome video shot at the AHR Expo conference in Chicago from Southern PHC Magazine. Learn about our dry and adiabatic closed circuit cooler from Chad Nagle, vice president of HVAC Sales and Marketing.

Please read the below letter from EVAPCO President/CEO Bill Bartley: These are the times that try my soul! Two unusual and significant cost increasing events pertaining to Evapco’s North American business are currently unfolding. Consequently, this correspondence is provided to notify you that Evapco is hereby increasing equipment pricing and freight allowances for all products manufactured in our North American factories. The price increases outlined below are effective March 19, 2018. The new/increased pricing will be active in our Spectrum selection software program on March 19. Old pricing

Evapco had an exciting fourth quarter of 2017, and they used the 2018 AHR Expo to build upon that success. Evapco’s eco-Air Series of dry and adiabatic products provide flexibility in a wide range of capacities, footprints, motor types, and controls. “The world is changing,” said Jamie Facius, vice president, North America sales, Evapco. “Water is becoming more critical with shortages and drought conditions. We are positioning ourselves for that future with these dry and adiabatic units that can conserve a lot of water.” Read the full article in The News from ACHR.

For evaporative cooling equipment like cooling towers, evaporative condensers or fluid coolers, water quality is essential for proper heat transfer and the healthy service life of the equipment. By association, that same water also is essential to the operation of the chillers, process equipment or building systems connected to the evaporative cooling equipment. Yet, some operators or building owners fail to recognize how the quality of the available makeup water and ongoing water treatment of the condenser water may impact equipment commissioning, operational water efficiency and lifespan of

As aging facilities are tapped to accommodate expanded manufacturing and broader process applications, facility owners and managers are faced with vexing challenges. Primary among them is how to meet these demands within realistic budget parameters. Often, two of the largest budget items for facility managers is reducing energy use and water consumption. To magnify the challenge, some municipalities have set water-use restrictions for plants, creating an unexpected burden. Another facet of the challenge of doing more with less is the common problem of deteriorating mechanical infrastructure

When outside temperatures fall below freezing, water inevitably forms into ice. Open cooling towers can be susceptible to freezing due to their inherent nature of operation. As a result, ice formation becomes a subject of management, not elimination. Fortunately, there are alternative solutions. Closed circuit coolers are used for a multitude of niche applications, but are ideal for evaporative cooling applications in severe winter climates. If ice formation is not managed properly, expect to see reduced thermal performance, part failures, and additional field maintenance. Make sure that your

Congratulations to EVAPCO-BLCT as their project, Exelon's Wolf Hollow, was awarded Gas Project of the Year by the editors of Power Engineering and Renewable Energy World magazines. Built in Granbury, Texas, Exelon’s 1,000-MW Wolf Hollow gas-fired combined cycle plant began producing power in December 2016. The Wolf Hollow plant is one of two twin facilities designed and built in Texas for Exelon by Zachry Group. At the heart of this highly efficient plant is a 7ha.02 gas turbine from General Electric. The turbine is cooled with air instead of water, and according to GE, provides the most

EVAPCO is excited to announce the completion of our brand new Key Building. The new manufacturing facility is located across the street from our headquarters in Taneytown, Maryland. EVAPCO products are engineered and manufactured in 24 locations in 10 countries and supplied through a sales network of more than 170 offices. Take a look at the EVAPCO Key Building from start to finish in this time-lapse video. We can’t wait for the new year as production of our new eco-Air Series of products will be in full swing!
