The ROI for Quality Liquid Temperature Control Equipment
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the first four laws of thermodynamics.
- Explain how the laws of thermodynamics directly apply to the refrigeration cycle.
- Describe why the process of cooling requires more energy as it compares to heating.
- Discuss the reasons why quality temperature control equipment in the industry will create a better long-term return on investment.

In liquid temperature control, as in so many facets of heating and cooling, the complicated dynamics of refrigeration do not go unnoticed. Join us for a webinar with Dr. Dirk Frese, Vice President of Marketing, Sales, and Service at JULABO USA, as he relates the complexities of cooling back to the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. These principles have existed uncontested for nearly two hundred years, but seldom have they been applied directly to everyday applications in thermal processing. In this webinar, Dirk will walk through the multiple transfers of energy required in a refrigeration cycle as they compare to heating, and why the quality of your refrigeration unit in industry directly correlates to your return on investment.
