- Why Autoclave Calibration Is Critical in Labs | CISCAL
Learn why autoclave calibration matters in labs—assuring sterility, accuracy, and compliance with limited downtime and maximum safety. < Back Why Autoclave Calibration Is Critical for Laboratory Safety and Accuracy Autoclaves are essential in laboratories, hospitals, and research facilities. They sterilize instruments, glassware, and materials by applying high-pressure steam at elevated temperatures. For sterilization to be effective, temperature and pressure inside the chamber must be accurate and consistent. Even minor deviations can compromise sterility, posing risks to lab safety, patient health, and experimental outcomes. Autoclave calibration is the process of ensuring that the device’s sensors such as temperature probes, pressure gauges, and timers are working within specified tolerances. Without regular calibration, results can be unreliable, and compliance with laboratory standards can be compromised. A well-calibrated autoclave not only ensures accurate sterilization but also extends the lifespan of equipment by reducing unnecessary stress from improper operating conditions. What Is Autoclave Calibration? Calibration is the verification and adjustment of an autoclave’s measurement systems. It involves comparing the readings of sensors like temperature, pressure, and timer against traceable reference standards and adjusting them as needed to maintain accuracy. It is important to distinguish calibration from validation. Calibration ensures that measurement devices inside the autoclave are reading accurately. Validation, on the other hand, goes further to confirm that the entire sterilization process including temperature, pressure, steam penetration, and cycle duration consistently meets operational requirements and produces sterile outcomes. Both processes are complementary, and in most regulated industries, laboratories are required to perform both to ensure full compliance. Why Is Autoclave Calibration Critical? Accurate calibration ensures sterilization cycles reach the required conditions for destroying microorganisms. A drop of even 2 °C can drastically reduce sterilization effectiveness. For example, a cycle at 120 °C instead of 122 °C may fail to kill certain heat-resistant spores, which could lead to contaminated instruments being reintroduced into a sterile environment. Calibration also supports: Laboratory safety : Prevents incomplete sterilization that could expose staff and researchers to infectious agents. Patient and research integrity : Ensures sterile equipment for reliable medical and scientific outcomes. Inaccurate sterilization can compromise experimental results or, worse, patient safety in clinical applications. Operational efficiency : Prevents equipment failures, costly downtime, and repeat sterilization cycles that waste energy, increase maintenance costs, and reduce productivity. Regular calibration also minimizes unexpected breakdowns by catching performance issues early. Compliance, Standards, and Frequency Accredited calibration is required for labs working under regulated frameworks, particularly in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and healthcare. These industries must comply with rigorous standards to pass audits and maintain certifications. ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation ensures competence and traceability in calibration services, offering assurance that processes meet international best practices. NIST-traceable instruments guarantee that calibration results are accurate and defensible in audits. Frequency : Most guidelines recommend calibrating autoclaves every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage, regulatory requirements, and the risk profile of the work being conducted. Safety checks : Annual inspection of safety valves, pressure switches, gaskets, and control sensors is considered best practice to maintain reliable performance and avoid hazardous failures. By adhering to these standards, laboratories protect not only their compliance standing but also the integrity of their operations and the safety of their personnel. The Calibration Process: Step-by-Step A typical autoclave calibration process includes multiple checks to ensure reliability and accuracy of sterilization cycles: Prepare NIST-traceable reference instruments, such as precision temperature probes and pressure gauges. Record baseline “as-found” data before making any adjustments. Check and adjust zero and gain settings of the sensors. Conduct multipoint measurements across relevant temperature and pressure ranges to confirm accuracy at various operating points. Compare results with reference standards to identify discrepancies. Apply regression analysis where required to establish correction factors. Adjust calibration values accordingly using the autoclave’s control system. Verify readings with repeat measurements to confirm adjustments were successful. Document all results for traceability and compliance records. Label equipment with calibration status and due date for next calibration. Issue a traceable calibration certificate for regulatory and audit purposes. Standard operating procedures often include additional steps such as temperature mapping of the chamber to ensure even distribution, pressure gauge testing, and verification of cycle timer accuracy. Together, these steps ensure both accuracy and reproducibility of sterilization cycles. Professional Calibration Best Practices Professional autoclave calibration ensures compliance, accuracy, and reliability beyond what in-house checks can provide. Accredited service providers follow strict methodologies to maintain consistency and meet regulatory requirements. Key Best Practices Traceability : Use of NIST-traceable equipment ensures every calibration point is linked back to international standards. Controlled environment : Professional calibration is performed under stable conditions to reduce environmental influence on results. Documentation : Detailed calibration certificates are issued, including uncertainty measurements, procedures followed, and results obtained. Preventive maintenance : Professionals often combine calibration with preventive inspections, checking gaskets, safety valves, and heating elements. Audit support : Accredited calibration records provide defensible evidence during regulatory inspections and audits. Professional calibration services are indispensable in industries where sterility, compliance, and accuracy are critical, such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and clinical research. Validation vs Calibration: What Labs Should Know While calibration ensures instruments read accurately, validation verifies that the sterilization process consistently delivers sterile outcomes. Both are required for complete quality assurance. Validation typically includes: Installation Qualification (IQ) : Ensuring autoclave installation meets design and manufacturer specifications. Operational Qualification (OQ) : Confirming the autoclave operates correctly across intended parameters. Performance Qualification (PQ) : Testing actual sterilization performance using biological and chemical indicators in both empty and fully loaded conditions. Together, calibration and validation create a complete framework that ensures not only the accuracy of measurements but also the effectiveness and reproducibility of the sterilization process. Ensure Sterility and Lab Compliance Autoclave calibration is essential for ensuring sterilization efficacy, maintaining laboratory safety, meeting regulatory requirements, and extending equipment lifespan. Neglecting calibration exposes laboratories to risks such as contamination, failed audits, and potential health hazards. Both calibration and validation are critical for reliable laboratory operations, and together they form the foundation of effective quality management.

- How Torque Wrench Calibration Is Done | CISCAL
Learn how torque wrench calibration supports compliance. Step-by-step guide tailored for Australian labs, pharma, and food industries. < Back How Torque Wrench Calibration Is Done Calibration sets a torque wrench’s indicated value against a more accurate reference standard and reports the measurement uncertainty; verification is a quicker in-house check between calibrations. In Australia, choose NATA-accredited labs working to ISO/IEC 17025, with SI traceability (typically via the National Measurement Institute, NMI). The calibration method is defined in ISO 6789-2:2017; design/conformance requirements live in ISO 6789-1:2017. Standards That Apply in Australia ISO 6789-1:2017 covers: design & quality conformance (Type I indicating, Type II setting tools). ISO 6789-2:2017 sets: the calibration method and how to calculate measurement uncertainty ( the lab’s certificate should reference this ). Australia’s former AS 4115: was withdrawn ( Oct 2016 ); calibration follows ISO 6789-2. ISO/IEC 17025 via NATA: auditors expect NATA-endorsed certificates with traceability; NATA’s Metrological Traceability Policy explains how labs demonstrate SI links. You can search NATA’s directory for torque scopes. Terminology tip: ISO 6789 uses “maximum permissible ( relative ) deviation” ( MPD ) instead of a loose “accuracy” label. How Often to Calibrate Principle: set intervals by risk and usage ( criticality, environment, transport, history ). ISO 6789-2 itself suggests 12 months or 5,000 cycles ( whichever first ) if you don’t run your own control procedure; then adapt based on successive results. Industry guidance ( OEM ): Norbar ( AU ) commonly advises every 12 months, with shorter intervals for heavy use/critical tasks; 5,000 cycles is widely cited as a default. Norbar Torque Tools+1 Decision Mini-table (Illustrative, not Prescriptive): Situation Suggested interval Critical process / high use / harsh environment 6 months or ≤5,000 cycles Routine production / moderate use 12 months After shock, overload, transport damage Immediately, then shorten temporarily ( Record the rationale in your QMS; ISO doesn’t mandate a single number. ) Iteh Standards Equipment Used Torque tester / transducer with known uncertainty ( calibrated and traceable ). Under ISO 6789, the measurement device uncertainty must be suitably small relative to the tool’s expected uncertainty (often expressed as ≤¼ of the tool’s expected uncertainty/MPD). Loader/arm & fixtures to apply torque horizontally and support the wrench at the handle load point; good systems minimise parasitic forces ( e.g., floating supports/counter-balance) . Adaptors to align square/hex drives; environmental control ( temperature, etc. ) and a data system to compute uncertainty per ISO 6789-2. Step-by-step: How Torque Wrench Calibration is Done ( ISO 6789-2 ) The steps below reflect ISO 6789-2:2017 concepts used by accredited labs. Your certificate should list method, as-found/as-left, uncertainty, traceability, and equipment IDs. Pre-checks Identify tool type ( Type I indicating vs Type II setting ) and inspect ratchet/drive, scale and handle. Record tool ID. Exercise the wrench Operate the wrench several times near the target value to settle components ( per lab procedure ). Set-up Mount the wrench horizontally; align at the handle load point; use correct adaptors; minimise side loads; record ambient conditions. Select test points Calibrate from the lowest marked value to the top of range; many labs test at minimum, ~60%, and 100% of the specified range, in each direction if applicable. ( ISO 6789-2 requires coverage down to the lowest marked value. ) Apply load at the correct rate For Type II (setting) tools, increase smoothly to ~80%, then reach the target within a short, controlled window ( commonly 0.5 to 4 s from 80% to target refer to the ISO tables by range ). This avoids overshoot and improves repeatability. Repeat readings Take repeated applications per point ( per ISO class ), capturing indicated vs reference values. Compute error & uncertainty ISO 6789-2 defines how to calculate relative measurement error and expanded uncertainty for the tool and to confirm the measurement device is suitable ( its uncertainty interval ≤¼ of the tool’s expected uncertainty interval ). Adjust ( Type II ) & re-test If the tool is adjustable and out of tolerance, adjust and repeat the points to produce as-left results. Issue certificate Include as-found/as-left, uncertainty, method = ISO 6789-2:2017, ambient conditions, equipment IDs, traceability ( NMI/ILAC chain ), technician sign-off, and next due date ( your risk-based choice ). Pass/Fail Criteria & Accuracy MPD ( maximum permissible relative deviation ) is the ISO term; tools must meet the MPD for their type/class. ( Manufacturers may specify tighter. ) In practice, many hand wrenches work to ±4% or ±6% classes ( depending on type/class and torque level ). Use the tool datasheet and your quality procedure to select the rule. Worked Example ( Illustrative ): Target = 100 N·m; average indicated = 96.0 N·m; relative error = ( 96.0−100 )/100 = −4.0%. Expanded uncertainty ( k≈2 ) on the tool at this point = ±1.2%.Decision rule ( per ISO/IEC 17025 QMS ): if MPD = ±4%, this result just meets the limit at the point estimate; if your lab applies guard banding, uncertainty may influence the pass decision. ( Your certificate should state the decision rule used. ) Compliance in Regulated Industries (Australia) Pharma ( TGA / PIC/S GMP ): Calibrated, qualified equipment with records is expected under the PIC/S Guide to GMP adopted by the TGA. ( TGA currently references the PIC/S Guide; version updates are in progress with transition communications. ) Food & beverage ( FSANZ ): Food safety standards require reliable measurements under documented controls; calibrated devices support HACCP and verification of critical fasteners on processing equipment. Maintenance Tips That Extend Calibration Stability Store at minimum load; avoid shock and over-range. Handle at the marked centre of the handle; don’t use extensions not accounted for. User verification between lab calibrations using a torque checker helps spot drift early (not a substitute for a full ISO 6789-2 calibration). Transport in a padded case; record cycles to refine intervals. Choosing a Provider (What to Look for) NATA accreditation for torque under ISO/IEC 17025 (check the Scope of Accreditation for ranges & CMCs). Certificates showing ISO 6789-2 method, uncertainty, and SI traceability (via NMI or an ILAC NMI). Turnaround & logistics, on-site options, and digital record access. CISCAL proof points: NATA Acc. No. 411; torque scope 1.25–1,500 N·m (CMC ±1.2%), multi-state presence, operating since 1963, and the SMART portal for real-time certificates and asset tracking. FAQs Previous Next

Choose PR710 if you want a handheld precision thermometer with Pt100 and very long runtime for routine checks. Choose PR721/PR722 if you need modular probes (PRT/thermocouple/humidity), app connectivity (Bluetooth/ZigBee), IP64, U-disk data export, or explosion-proof capability. How Precision Thermometers Work PRT (Pt100) thermometers measure resistance change in a platinum element; they offer the best stability and low drift. Thermocouples (TCs) generate a small voltage from two dissimilar metals; they cover wider ranges (up to ~1300 °C with Type S/N on PR7XX) but require cold-junction compensation at the readout. The meter linearises inputs (ITS-90 tables or polynomials), applies calibration coefficients, and outputs temperature with a set resolution (e.g., 0.001 °C). On PR7XX, the reference junction compensation for TCs is specified and contributes to uncertainty. Choosing the Right Probe & Sensor Match the probe to your range, accuracy target, environment, and connectivity: Range: cryogenic/freezer work (down to –80/–200 °C) → PRTs; high-temp process checks (to ~800–1300 °C) → TCs. On PR721/PR722, the intelligent sensor range spans –200…1300 °C depending on module. Accuracy: for tight tolerances, use wire-wound Pt100 PRT probes; for mapping and high-temp verification, TCs are practical. Environment & IP: wet or dusty sites need IP64 on PR721/PR722. Explosion-risk: select CNEx-certified PR721/PR722 configurations. Data & app: prefer Bluetooth/ZigBee for live sync and U-disk for quick exports. cspanran.com Australian Requirements & Good Practice Food & Beverage (HACCP/FSANZ): Keep potentially hazardous foods at ≤ 5 °C or ≥ 60 °C; the “danger zone” is 5–60 °C. Use the 2-hour/4-hour rule when food must be outside control during prep or display. GMP (TGA/PIC/S): Manufacturers must maintain controlled processes, equipment calibration and qualification, and documented records aligned to the PIC/S Guide to GMP adopted in Australia (Version 16 in 2024, moving to Version 17 in 2025). Temperature control and documented calibration are routine compliance expectations. NATA guidance (selection of references): A reference thermometer’s uncertainty should be ≤ 1/5 of the uncertainty required for the working thermometer—practical for setting targets during validation and calibration planning. Calibration & Traceability in Australia CISCAL is NATA-accredited (Accreditation No. 411) to ISO/IEC 17025 and performs digital thermometer calibration from –80 °C to 1100 °C, as well as verification of controlled temperature enclosures (e.g., ovens, furnaces, incubators, baths, freezers) with AS 2853 references where applicable. Expanded uncertainty (≈95% confidence) is reported on certificates, together with traceability. How often to calibrate? Baseline: annually for most lab and QA uses. GMP critical control / release: 6–12 months depending on risk, load, and audit history. Harsh use (high-temp cycling, shocks): shorten intervals (e.g., quarterly).

- Why NATA Pressure Calibration Is Industry Standard | CISCAL
Learn why NATA pressure calibration sets the industry benchmark for accuracy and compliance. Essential for manufacturing, pharma, and industrial safety. < Back Why NATA Pressure Calibration Is the Industry Standard Pressure measurement underpins some of the most safety-critical processes in modern industry. From monitoring gas pipelines in oil & gas, to ensuring autoclaves maintain sterile conditions in pharmaceuticals, to verifying packaging vacuum levels in food production, reliable pressure data directly influences quality, compliance, and human safety. The consequences of inaccurate readings range from minor inefficiencies to catastrophic failures, leaks, contamination, equipment breakdowns, or even loss of life. This is why NATA-accredited pressure calibration is considered the benchmark in Australia. It assures not only technical accuracy but also compliance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 . This guide explores what pressure calibration involves, the instruments covered, how the NATA process works, and why accredited calibration is indispensable across industries. What Is Pressure Calibration? At its core, pressure calibration is the process of comparing the output of a pressure-measuring instrument against a reference standard that is itself traceable to SI units. This ensures that the instrument’s readings remain consistent and accurate over time. Instruments commonly calibrated include: Manometers & Pressure Gauges – used to measure positive and negative pressures in industrial processes. Vacuum Gauges – critical for food packaging, semiconductor production, and research labs. Differential Pressure Gauges – essential in cleanrooms, filter monitoring, and HVAC validation . Pressure Transducers & Indicators – convert pressure into electrical signals for automated systems. Pressure Loggers – used in pharmaceutical QA to record and validate environmental conditions. Leak Test Apparatus – verify pressure integrity in tanks, pipelines, and packaging. Medical Devices – such as sphygmomanometers, where human safety depends on reliable readings. The value of calibration lies not only in aligning instruments with standards but in ensuring decisions made based on pressure data, whether regulatory, operational, or safety-related, are sound and defensible. Why NATA Pressure Calibration Matters Accuracy & Repeatability Pressure sensors and gauges naturally drift over time due to wear, environmental stress, or electrical degradation. In high-risk settings such as pharmaceutical sterilisation cycles, a minor deviation can compromise entire product batches. In oil & gas pipelines, inaccurate readings may cause premature shutdowns or undetected leaks. Regular calibration restores accuracy and ensures measurements remain repeatable across multiple uses and conditions. Compliance & Accreditation NATA accreditation proves that a calibration has been performed by a lab meeting ISO/IEC 17025 standards for technical competence and traceability. For companies operating under ISO 9001, GMP, or TGA regulations, this is not optional it is a core requirement. Without NATA certification, audit trails weaken, product certifications may be questioned, and regulatory non-compliance becomes a tangible risk. Safety Incorrect pressure readings directly threaten safety. Over-pressurisation of pipelines can cause ruptures; under-vacuum in sterile environments can lead to microbial contamination. In mining, inaccurate pressure monitoring of hydraulic systems can endanger workers and machinery alike. NATA calibration minimises such risks by ensuring instruments remain trustworthy. Operational Efficiency Calibrated instruments reduce false alarms, avoid unnecessary downtime, and optimise production output. For example, food packaging facilities avoid wasted packaging film and product recalls by maintaining accurate vacuum pressure. Efficiency gains are compounded when calibration is built into preventive maintenance schedules. Instruments That Require NATA Pressure Calibration Pressure instruments exist in nearly every sector of industry. Each has specific calibration needs: Manometers & Pressure Gauges – used across manufacturing and utilities for line pressure monitoring. Even small deviations can cause under- or over-pressurisation. Vacuum Gauges – vital in food & beverage packaging (modified atmosphere packaging), pharmaceuticals, and R&D. Calibration ensures vacuum levels prevent spoilage or contamination. Differential Pressure Gauges – used in hospitals, cleanrooms, and pharma labs to ensure airflow prevents contamination. Pressure Transducers & Indicators – critical in automated systems where pressure is converted to electronic signals for PLCs. Incorrect calibration here can disrupt entire production lines. Pressure Loggers – used in long-term monitoring of storage tanks or autoclaves. If uncalibrated, they may provide misleading trends. Leak Test Apparatus – ensure that containers, pipelines, or tanks remain sealed. A wrongly calibrated leak tester can allow hazardous leaks to go unnoticed. Medical Devices – inaccurate blood pressure monitors can lead to incorrect diagnoses and treatments, demonstrating the direct link between calibration and human health. Each instrument type has its own operating range, uncertainty level, and calibration interval requirements. NATA Pressure Calibration Process (Step-by-Step) A NATA-accredited pressure calibration follows rigorous methodology: Visual Inspection & Baseline Check – identifying mechanical damage, contamination, or sensor wear before testing. Application of Controlled Pressure – reference standards (deadweight testers, pressure controllers) apply stable pressures across the operating range. Comparison of Readings – the device under test is measured against the standard at multiple calibration points. Adjustment & Retesting – instruments are corrected where possible, then retested for verification. Recording Results – deviations, corrections, and measurement uncertainty are documented. Issuing Calibration Certificate – includes SI traceability, uncertainty, environmental conditions, and NATA accreditation details. The emphasis on traceability and uncertainty ensures that calibration results hold weight in audits, certifications, and global trade. Calibration Standards & Compliance Pressure calibration is rooted in recognised international frameworks: ISO/IEC 17025 defines competence for calibration labs, ensuring processes, staff, and equipment meet stringent requirements. NATA Accreditation validates that Australian labs comply with ISO/IEC 17025 and that results are accepted internationally. Industry-Specific Regulations: Pharmaceuticals – TGA and GMP guidelines require calibrated pressure for sterilisation, cleanrooms, and process validation. Food & Beverage – HACCP and export certification depend on validated pressure control in packaging and processing. Oil & Gas / Mining – regulated by safety codes that mandate traceable pressure calibration for high-risk systems. NATA accreditation therefore provides both technical assurance and regulatory compliance, making it the industry standard across Australia. Frequency & Best Practices Typical Calibration Intervals General Industry – annual calibration is standard practice. High-Use Applications – 3–6 months, especially in pharma, cleanrooms, and high-pressure manufacturing. Event-Driven – recalibration after overload, exposure to extreme environments, or repairs. Best Practices for Reliability Avoid overpressure that strains sensors. Store gauges away from vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes. Keep detailed calibration logs for traceability and trend analysis. Rotate instruments to manage workload and avoid overuse of single devices. Embedding these practices into preventive maintenance strategies enhances reliability and reduces operational risks.

- CRANEFRIGOR TSeries: Cooling Solutions under Extreme Conditions | CISCAL
CRANEFRIGOR TSeries cranecabin cooling built for Australia’s heat. Compact, IP54, up to 55.5 kW, options for dust & overpressure. Specify, install & service with CISCAL. CRANEFRIGOR TSeries: Serious Cooling for Serious Work What is the CRANEFRIGOR T Series? Compact, modular crane cabin air conditioning built for extreme heat and dust, with models covering small cabs through heavy-duty units up to 36.5 kW. Options include fresh air and overpressure filtration (FS10), Smart Control (FSC) with remote monitoring, and low/high-ambient packages. Relevant models carry IP54 protection. Specified, installed and maintained nationwide by CISCAL. Why Cooling Crane Cabins Matter in Australia Working in heat harms workers and slows work. Safe Work Australia sets out clear duties for employers to manage heat risks with controls and planning. The Bureau of Meteorology defines a heatwave as three or more days where both daytime and night-time temperatures are unusually hot for the location, which is when cabins can become stifling. The Australian Climate Service estimates heatwaves cost Australia about $8.7 billion each year in lost labour productivity . Engineering controls like dedicated crane AC and positive-pressure fresh air are practical ways to reduce heat stress and dust exposure. How the T Series Works CRANEFRIGOR’s concept combines a “machine part” (condenser/compressor section) with an air-conditioning section, connected as a compact or split system. Supply and return air are ducted to the cabin, with space to mix in filtered fresh air. The hardware is built for 24/7 duty with corrosion-resistant coils, wide fin spacing for dusty sites, industrial-grade fans and large-area filters. Protection ratings on relevant units reach IP54 for reliable operation. Model Selector: Which T Series Suits Your Crane? Use these quick rules of thumb; final selection should be sized from the heat load, cabin volume, site climate and shift pattern. Small cabins / moderate heat / short duty cycles: choose compact units in the lower-capacity family (e.g., OC02/OC07, WDV, TX) around 2.5–6.6 kW. Fits maintenance gantries, small process cranes and mobile plant cabins. Large cabins / high radiant heat (steel, ports, energy, mining): step up to higher-capacity split units (e.g., VF) up to 55 .5 kW , and pair with fresh air/overpressure where dust is an issue. Ambient operating envelopes with options extend from −25 °C to +85 °C for cooling; heating packages cover −25 °C to +30 °C.

Fresh-Air / Overpressure & Control Packages (quick reference) Package Option What it does Overpressure / Fresh air Fresh-air feed at the unit Filtered fresh air; non-adjustable flow FT15 Filter/Overpressure unit Filtered fresh air; adjustable flow; creates cabin overpressure to cut dust ingress FS10 Self-cleaning Filter/Overpressure Adjustable fresh air + overpressure; auto shake for long filter life Condensate handling KVW Condensate evaporator No drip damage; no extra power; overflow protection Smart control FSC Smart Control Redundant cycling, digital pressure/temperature display; optional cabin-pressure & RH display/control Tip: When in doubt, CISCAL sizes by load, cabin volume, location and shift pattern. Reach out to CISCAL and request for a quote. Features That Matter on Aussie Sites Reliability for long shifts: heavy-duty semi-hermetic compressor architecture and industrial fans designed for continuous operation. Dust & corrosion defences: coated heat exchangers and optional stainless packages (AISI 316Ti) for maritime and acid-fume areas; coarse 80% filters to keep airflow up; add the FS10 self-cleaning fresh-air/overpressure unit to reduce dust ingress. Controls that keep crews comfortable: FSC (FrigorTec Smart Control) enables redundant cycling, remote monitoring/control, and digital display of pressures and temperatures; optional cabin pressure and relative humidity display for positive-pressure setups. The FrigorTec Smart Control FSC allows monitoring and management of the crane air-conditioning units and can be easily integrated into the respective control systems. Advantages of the FrigorTec Smart Control system: Remote control Monitoring and remote maintenance Temperature regulation Humidity regulation Comfort mode Pressure monitoring Redundant operation Network connection Predictive maintenance Wide operating envelope: cooling options from −25 °C up to +70/+85 °C depending on model and packages; heating options −25 °C to +30 °C. Safety by design: systems are supplied with features to support EN 378 compliance (e.g., gas warning device options); where cabin volumes are below thresholds for a chosen refrigerant, refrigerant detectors are required. Serviceability: wide fin spacing, inspection openings and access panels make coil cleaning and filter swaps quick; units are factory test-run to reduce commissioning time. Compliance & Worker Safety WHS law in Australia doesn’t set a universal “stop-work” temperature . Employers must identify heat hazards and put controls in place—insulate or shield heat sources, provide cooled cabins and fresh air, set hydration policies and rotate tasks. BoM heatwave services and definitions help plan for severe events. CISCAL can support EN 378 refrigerant detector planning based on cabin volume and selected refrigerant. Installation & Lifecycle A good outcome starts with a site assessment: heat-load calculation, cabin volume, duct paths, mounts, power, and fresh-air strategy. Commissioning includes leak checks, controls setup (including FSC where used), airflow balancing and operator handover. In service, plan regular filter checks, coil cleaning and inspections of fans, seals and drains—tightening intervals for peak summer and dusty shifts. Example: a steel hot-zone crane with high ambient and dust often pairs a high-capacity cooling unit with FS10 and monthly filter checks in summer. Ask CISCAL for a maintenance plan aligned to your shift regime Spec Snapshot (for buyers) Cooling up to 55 .5 kW (model-dependent; R134a/R513A families), with similar high outputs across the VF class noted at 36.5 kW; temperature range with options −25 °C to +85 °C. Fresh-air/overpressure: FS10 filtration system (self-cleaning), airflow up to ~7000 m³/h into the cabin. Protection: IP54 on relevant sections/units across the range. Refrigerants often used: R134a (GWP 1430), R513A (GWP ~631), R450A (GWP ~605). Final refrigerant selection and capacities are project-specific.
