A case study: The replacement of a central ammonia plant system with modular low charge ammonia package units for a cold storage distribution facility.

Number: 1137

Author(s) : MCLUSKIE M.

Summary

This paper presents a case study on the total replacement of an aging ammonia pumped circulation system supplying a cold and chill storage warehouse facility using multiple low charge modular packaged ammonia refrigeration systems in Scotland. Installation and commissioning took place across 2020-2021 with the package units replacing the plant room style system which had been operational since 1979. This paper gives a design overview of the new plant and summarises the benefits of the external package unit type system over the original pumped circulation system with insight into the challenges faced implementing change on an aging site. This study will also analyse store temperature performance and
energy usage across a 12-month period with comparison to historical site data.
