Next HRC ASHRAE Meeting |
- complete 2020-2021 program schedule (pdf) |
Our May meeting will be on Tuesday, May 4th at 12:00 noon where Mark Malagon, PE, will present, "What's that 'R' for in ASHRAE?" This presentation will focus on the world of Industrial Refrigeration. Most large scale industrial refrigeration systems utilize natural refrigerants, with ammonia and/or CO2 as the primary medium. We’ll take a look at the similarities and differences between Industrial Refrigeration and conventional HVAC. We’ll also explore the advantages (and disadvantages) of ammonia, and why it is the first choice for low temp applications typically found in the food and beverage industry. Finally, this talk will dig into the regulatory issues effecting all of us each and every day.
Mark Malagon, PE, has over 19 years of experience in industrial refrigeration and mechanical contracting. Mark earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech as well as an MBA from Mercer University. He is also a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in multiple states and holds an active NCEES Record.
Mark started his career as a project manager, quickly advancing to sales engineer. Soon thereafter he found himself in sales and engineering management, and after a successful run as a sales director, Mark chose to leave the industrial refrigeration industry for a general management position in HVAC. His time as a GM provided invaluable experience in business and finance. Eventually Mark was drawn back to his passion for industrial refrigeration, now with the experience to start his own company.
Mark started Nexus Refrigeration in 2018 with a longtime friend and colleague focusing on design, engineering, safety, and government compliance consulting. Nexus works primarily in the food and beverage industry dealing with ammonia and CO2 refrigeration.
Mark has been responsible for well over $200 million worth of work from prominent industrial clients such as Americold Logistics, Tropicana, Preferred Freezer, Con Agra, Smithfield Foods, Pepsi, Purdue, Pilgrim’s Pride, Nestle, US Foods, and Sysco.
