Background

An existing customer proposed a large chill distribution store with a high product throughput.  The store is to operate at +1⁰C and must have a high degree of standby using a minimum charge Ammonia system and energy efficient.

 

Short description of the solution

To provide a high degree of standby we supplied and installed three independent ammonia Grasso chiller packs with air cooled condensers on a common secondary system using Tyfoxit.  Each chiller has a nominal capacity of 500kW maintaining a store temperature of +1⁰C using compressor waste heat.  The Tyfoxit is heated to provide warm Tyfoxit for cooler defrosting reducing energy consumption.  The control system is fully integrated allowing remote access for off-site monitoring

 

 

Key figures

Capacity in kW (at temperature level): 500kW 
Refrigerant: R-717 (NH3)
Secondary refrigerant: Tyxofit
