Refrigeration Consulting Engineers

Engineering a safer world with natural refrigerants

Our approach

We are engineering consultants with a history of accreditations to provide you with industrial heat and mass transfer designs and analysis. Whether your process involves the heating or cooling of products or people, we are here to help you with engineering analysis and equipment selection/specifications to ensure you reach the temperatures, environmental conditions, and production rates you require!

Our Services

Heat Exchanger Design and Modeling

Different natural refrigerants exhibit quite different behavior in heat exchangers. BVN Engineering can help you with proper design and performance predictions for various types of heat exchangers using these special working fluids.

Heating & Cooling System and Equipment Design

We have the expertise to help with low and medium-temperature refrigeration including blast freezing, heat pumps, heat recovery heat pipes, dehumidification, and adiabatic and evaporative cooling.

Education & Training

Our CEO, Bruce I. Nelson, is recognized worldwide as a speaker and educator on the subject and is helping train the next generation of engineers.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN

  • Bruce I. Nelson, P.E., CEO

  • Ian C. Nelson, P.E., Vice President

“Bruce is a true ‘engineering leader.’  Many engineers transition into leadership roles and detach from their roots as an engineer. Of course, engineers take with them into leadership problem-solving skills, systematic thought processes, and other attributes engrained through their technical careers, but Bruce continued to stay engaged not leaving his engineering roots but strengthening them along the way. Great leaders make an impact in areas where they serve.  Great ‘engineering leaders’ have even greater impact through their lasting technical contributions.”
