1. IntroductionWith the increasing demand for energy-efficient building systems, chillers play a vital role in providing cooling for large commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Among various chiller types, water-cooled chillers are widely preferred in applications where high cooling capacity and energy efficiency are required. Unlike air-cooled chillers, which reject heat directly to the ambient air, water-cooled chillers use a secondary water loop and cooling towers to dissipate heat, resulting in...

1. Introduction Plastic, lauded for its durability and versatility, has become an environmental burden due to its persistence and the vast quantities discarded annually. Landfills are overflowing, and marine ecosystems are under severe threat. Mechanical recycling offers a viable solution, but its success hinges on effective pre-processing. Among the initial steps, size reduction via shredding is indispensable. Plastic shredders (also commonly referred to as plastic crushers or granulators) break down...
