HydroChem gets the stamp

Water treatment specialist HydroChem has secured Australian Made certification for its HydroBalance HVAC&R maintenance range.

The company says the move was made to differentiate its most popular HydroBalance products from similar products in the Australian market. The company has now received the Australian Owned and Made tick of approval for Wanda Wash, Bubble Up, No More Grease, Coilox, CoilKleen, 4X and Clean-Ice. 

“From a HydroChem perspective, the Australian Made program has become an imperative,” says HydroChem CEO Mike Lenton, Affil.AIRAH. 

“Wholesalers enjoy the peace of mind that comes with promoting and selling a locally made product, particularly in this period of global supply chain instability. The feedback we hear is that end-users prefer to support local businesses like their own. That the business is Australian owned is that perfect cherry on top.” 

The range of 11 HydroBalance products are available via the HVAC&R supplies wholesaler network in all states and territories.

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of ventilation in road tunnels: enhancing air quality and safety

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of ventilation in road tunnels: enhancing air quality and safety

Ventilation units within vehicle tunnels play a pivotal role in ensuring safety and optimal air quality for
occupants. These units are used to assist with propelling air from one end to the opposite end of the tunnel.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an invaluable design tool for engineers and stakeholders,
offering simulated insights and data to optimise safety and efficiency in tunnel projects. This paper
emphasises the advantages of CFD for road tunnel ventilation design, showcases a case study involving
impulse fans, and highlights the positive effects on project costs and overall tunnel ventilation performance.
