An energy efficient CO2/NH3 plant for bakery products, ammonia plate freezers for fishing vessels and the Drammen heat pump, one of the world’s largest natural heat pumps for district heating are some of topics of case studies to be presented at the ATMOsphere Europe conference. The Review Panel has selected ammonia case studies by Mayekawa, DSI and Star Refrigeration.
Maximizing production and refrigeration efficiency is key for ship-owners when investing in plate freezers. Environmental legislation is forcing the change to natural refrigerants, but the limited space in a fishing vessel means that improving the operational efficiency of the refrigeration system and optimizing the factory throughput is very important. The additional factory throughput and the difficulty getting people to work aboard calls for improvement of the working environment. In the last years, we have delivered many plate freezers for European fishing companies based on natural refrigerants,” says Mads Sigsgaard, Regional Sales Manager for DSI.
Star Refrigeration’s system has quite literally delivered the impossible…90°C from a heat pump using ammonia. More than just being technically possible, the systems >3.05 COPh shows that large ammonia heat pumps are commercially viable as well. This presentation covers the technical, the commercial, the practical as well as the environmental aspects that go into making this the world’s first and largest 90°C ammonia heat pump,” says Dave Pearson, Director of Innovation at Star Refrigeration.
