Reduce costs and maximise chilling temperatures
Industrial refrigeration is critical within the pharmaceutical, food and beverage and chemical processing sectors.
Traditionally, refrigeration systems have relied heavily on the use of HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) gases to produce direct or large primary cooling systems. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases and as such are being phased out by many countries. In response, many industrial refrigeration systems now have an additional second closed-loop system, whereby the primary cooling loop transmits its strong cooling capability through a heat exchanger to the secondary system. The use of a secondary loop provides a way of safely distributing the required cooling through the workspace, allowing the use of a smaller primary system, which can be located remotely from the workspace.
As regulations around HFC gases become tighter and refrigeration design is changing, larger secondary closed loop systems containing fluids are being used to reduce the amount of HFC needed in the chilling process. An engineered low viscosity heat transfer fluid, ALV provides efficient circulation with lower pumping pressure. This makes it ideal for supporting second closed loop systems as smaller pumps can be used within the refrigerating or chilling unit.
