Back to basics: the quest for energy efficiency improvements in your industrial refrigeration systems.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This article discusses ten strategies for improving the efficiency of industrial refrigeration systems. Seemingly a simple order, the fact is that realizing energy efficiency improvement in these systems can be difficult for a number of reasons including: industrial refrigeration systems are custom-engineered systems to meet specific process needs - this makes prescriptive energy conservation measures difficult to identify because each system is "one-of-a-kind"; food production facilities often require refrigeration 24 x 7 x 365 and energy efficiency improvement measures that require refrigeration system or plant shutdowns are difficult to implement; since refrigeration up-time is crucial, plant operations staff are risk averse to any changes that may undermine their ability to provide "cold" to the production floor.
