About ASED Consulting Engineers
ASED Consulting Engineers are a specialist independent refrigeration, process cooling and heat exchange engineering consulting firm. Our services encompass refrigeration and process cooling systems which are based on natural refrigerants. We cover all aspects of Industrial refrigeration and process cooling design and engineering. We are 100% Australian owned and operated.
Our design and engineering team consists of highly qualified individuals, who are passionate in the design and implementation of energy efficient refrigeration, process cooling and heat exchange plant.
We currently employ the following refrigeration specialist engineers:
- Refrigeration and thermal engineers specialising in the design and implementation of industrial refrigeration systems, commercial refrigeration systems, process cooling systems and heat pump heating plant.
- Chemical and process engineers specialising in the design and implementation of refrigeration systems and specialised process cooling systems for the chemical, petrochemical, and gas compression industries.
- Mechanical and Mechatronic engineers specialising in the design of refrigeration systems and associated plant such as recirculation vessels, heat exchangers, chilled fluid pumping stations, heating systems for the flame and explosion-proof industries.
- Electrical and controls engineers specialising in the design and implementation of fully automated process and plant control for the refrigeration, process cooling, process heating and HVAC industries.
We specialise in the design and implementation of large Industrial systems which employ ammonia as the primary refrigerant. We also provide solutions which utilise ultra-low charge ammonia designs in the Direct Expansion configuration (DX) for the industrial and light industrial sector.
Our refrigeration system design for the heavy commercial refrigeration sector incorporates full CO2 refrigeration systems which utilise screw and reciprocating compressors to fill the gap between industrial and commercial refrigeration applications.
