1tool is the development system for the Carel programmable control platform, consisting of six different environments in which the designer manages the application software in all its different stages: from design to simulation, to testing and debugging, to arrive at commissioning in the field. A fundamental feature of 1tool is integration. Because all the different environments are interconnected to best support development of the application software. Each environment is in fact dedicated to the realisation of a specific function and interacts with the others to offer the designer: -  Greater reliability thanks to real-time error notifications in the design stage; - Reduced development time using the advanced functions offered, first and foremost the new libraries of functional modules specific for HVAC/R; -  Flexibility in terms of software customisation. All these features, an intuitive graphic interface and user simplicity make 1tool an excellent product, respond...

The AHU applications are characterized by a great range of plant solutions with different integration levels. Carel, leader on the regulation in HVAC/R world, thanks to the ten-year experience on designing and producing electronic controllers , humidifiers and accessories, offers the most complete solution range for this application. The modular structure of the controllers, the different humidifiers available and the complete range of accessories let you set any kind of installation, which increasing integration leaves up to the complete supervision of the plant to reach the absolute reliability and the maximum energy saving. The system approach joins with the flexibility of the solutions, both hardware, i.e. architecture and components, and software, starting from the standard up to the complete customization of the application software thanks to 1tool programming tool. Flexibility : I/O chip technology means all the most common types of sensors can be read: the signa...

The chiller control unit is the most important and complex electromechanical organ in the chiller system. It generates the cold temperatures for all of the connected chiller utilities and processing rooms. The CAREL retail system was designed to meet all the builder’s needs and to provide the OEM and installers with the best response to their design efforts and to maximize results. From simple hermetic compressors in limited numbers or in large racks, to semi-hermetic and hermetic ones that can be partialised or controlled in frequency. In terms of energy savings, the chiller control unit allows wide maneuvering margins with its considerable installed power. All of our solutions were designed with the utmost attention to this aspect. The use of E2V electronic expansion valves along with the power of the electronic controls allow the energy balance to be maximized. Carel offers two platforms for managing chiller control units: µ Rack   and pRack. The ...

Food storage uses various procedures that vary based on duration: Refrigeration, if the food must be stored for a short period of time (0…7 ° C). Freezing, deep freezing and lyophilisation (freeze drying) if it must be stored for long periods. When deep freezing the product it must reach a temperature of -18 ° C in less than 4 hours while for regular freezing the product can take more than 4 hours to reach -18 ° C. During lyophilisation the product is dried following a forced evaporation of the water component of the product. In the food industry, refrigeration is one of the most delicate and complex applications because food requires treatment at different temperatures depending upon the processing phase. Refrigeration slows the growth of bacteria on food. The technique is based on the extremely quick and intense action performed by the cold temperature that allows the organoleptic qualities of the food to be kept intact, prolonging storage time. Systems...
