The design of a cold service insulation system shall be aimed at a reduction of energy losses whilst protecting the system against condensation and the ingress of moisture.

The graph below illustrates a typical thermal conductivity curve, for cold service in HVAC and light industrial applications.

Explanation:
I am very unsure of the actual term here, but I think this is the intended idea: 'a supply of something cold' or 'something carrying cold...'

It's nothing to do with offering a refrigeration service.

'services' is a common way of referring to systems providing gas, water, compressed air, vacuum, etc.

Here, I think it bascially just means 'circuits carrying a cold substance' — might be chilled water, refrigerant, liquid nitrogen/oxygen, etc. etc.

No, you're right, Lionel.

I must admit, I would interpret 'cold service' as being things that are deliberately cooled</I>, rather than just fortuitously so (like DCW) — however, there is certainly a lot of margin in this term, in which case, no, I don't think my term could apply.

On peut aussi penser aux "applications du froid" qui se rapprocheraient peut-être davantage.
Surtout qu'on parle de climatisation (HVCA) ????

Asker: Yes Tony, you're totally right with your explanation, but I'm not sure that "circuit frigorifique" could include things like domestic cold water supply.

production du froid


Explanation:
Je pense qu'il s'agit dans ce contexte type intro plutôt du terme générique.
Je vous ai mis une réf qui peut être intéressante.

J'ai écris mon mémoire sur les techniques du Froid, mais il y a bien longtemps et ça a dû évoluer depuis !
