Torr — Sat, 12 Jun 2021 12:27:31 +0000

Swinton and District Excelsior Band Here at Torr we were delighted to be contacted by yet another local brass band looking for our help in improving the ventilation & air quality in their rehearsal band room.

Back then, 6 locals rehearsed in the unused Methodist Chapel at Swinton, the large, stone rectangular shaped building in Middle Street. In those early days the Chapel had no electricity, and practices during the winter months were lit by candles in bottles on tables. 85...

The Refrigeration Cycle

Torr — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 13:30:00 +0000

The Refrigeration Cycle is a simple but amazingly clever and useful process. In its simplest form, the refrigeration cycle consists of just 4 basic components to complete the circuit: That’s it. Well, that’s almost it – we also need a refrigerant to cycle inside the circuit. As the name suggests, the refrigeration process is a cycle.We start at the compressor, go through the condenser, then through the restriction, then through the evaporator and finally back to the compressor where the cycle starts all over again. So let’s have a brief look at each of the components in turn. Luckily, their...

Torr — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 16:29:00 +0000

Cold beers courtesy of the latest beer cellar cooling equipment for the post match celebrations – is there anything else more important? Grimsby Rugby Union Football Club commissioned local refrigeration & air conditioning company Torr Engineering to replace their recently failed beer cellar cooling equipment. Thankfully the old system died during the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, so the flow of cold beers remained unaffected! The existing system was very old and beyond economical repair, so decision was made to replace it with a modern alternative. Our system of choice was the British designed & built Marstair Cellarator Split System. These innovative...

Air Conditioning Maintenance

Torr — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 02:09:24 +0000

An air conditioner’s filters, coils, fins, drains and electrical system all require regular maintenance for the unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout its years of service. Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while energy use steadily increases. From our own experience there is no doubt that air conditioning units that have been professionally maintained on a regular basis far outlast systems that have been neglected. We are servicing systems today that we installed over 10 years ago, and they are still running as well as the day they were installed. On the other hand...
