To ensure a chiller is functioning as efficiently as possible and to minimize the risk of downtime, it's important to properly operate and maintain it. Just like in a car, there are fluids that need to be checked and filters that need to be replaced. Every chiller installation is unique, and the conditions in your installation determine how often you should inspect and perform maintenance. The preventative maintenance period for chillers depends on a number of factors including... Full Article

Lytron Offers Complimentary Trial Version of MacroFlow Software for Thermal Modeling

Innovative Research is offering Lytron's website visitors a complimentary 3-week trial of their MacroFlow software. The software is a tool for rapid thermal design of electronics systems, and uses the technique of Flow Network Modeling (FNM) for a convenient, fast, and accurate analysis for system-level thermal design. 

MacroFlow is being used actively for the design of air-cooled and liquid-cooled electronics systems in computer, telecom, defense, and test equipment applications. The flow and thermal characteristics of cold plates and heat exchangers offered by Lytron are already included in the database of component characteristics. Therefore, MacroFlow can be used to analyze any custom cooling system that utilizes Lytron's cooling products. Further, MacroFlow can be used to study the performance of standard cooling systems offered by Lytron using already constructed models.

MacroFlow provides the following productivity benefits in the thermal design of cooling systems:

• Rapid exploration of many design options
• Accurate sizing of cooling components
• Examination of "what-if" scenarios
