+gf+ GF Piping Systems and your Refrigeration/Cooling application The origin of the artificial refrigeration process occurred not uncoincidentally at the same time as initial research into physics and thermodynamics. Linde, Carrier, Carre, Cullen and Harrison are prominent names in the history of refrigeration. GF Piping Systems has been producing piping components since 1802, initially in malleable iron, nowadays with engineered system solutions for specific applications. One example is the high-purity, top-grade plastic piping systems developed by GF Piping Systems for the manufacture of semi-conductors. Refrigeration systems place high demands on the piping system, which has a direct impact on the reliability, efficiency and life span of the plant. Introduction GF Piping Systems in Cooling and Refrigeration Plants - It is the expressed intention of GF Piping Systems to be-part of this world-wide initiative'' to optimise refrigeration and cooling plants in terms of energy use and environmental impact. How efficiently an entire refrigeration plant operates is defined by the machinery's COP (Coefficient of Performance), the efficiency H of the secondary piping system and the heat transfer rate at the air cooler. Thus, the secondary piping system plays a vital role in the efficiency of the plant as a whole. COOL-FIT is a pre-insulated complete plastic piping system, designed specifically to opti-IQJQP^^the efficiency, installation costs and life span of the secondary piping system. Secondary Refrigeration One of the consequences of national and international regulation to reduce and eliminate freons is an increase in the use of so-called secondary refrigeration systems. Such systems reduce the amount of environmentally unfriendly primary charge (freon gas) in a plant by about 80%. Leaks in standard refrigeration systems can be as high as 35% of the original charge per year. This is not only immensely damaging to the environment, but also costs a great deal to refill the systems.
