Chilled water at a constant temperature.

Eau glacée à température constante.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

In its Herford, Germany, establishment, Humana Milchunion eG produces a vast array of dairy products, semi-finished dairy products and baby foods. In order to safely preserve, process and improve the delicate raw materials involved, large chilled water installations are necessary to guarantee a maximal starting temperature of 1°C. Within the framework of modernization works, the dairy company recently shut down the major part of its decentralized NH3 refrigeration plant, including the cold stores using tubular evaporation. Instead, a centralized refrigeration plant has been brought into service, with five brine refrigeration units, Fafco hybrid cold stores and a complete chilled water network. Thanks to the serialization of the brine heat exchangers and hybrid cold stores, temperatures of almost 0°C can be achieved for the chilled water, even during peak periods. This plant, designed and implemented by the company "Kälte-Klima GMBH Bertuleit & Müller" from Hameln, Germany, is already considered by specialists as a model of modern refrigeration technology for dairy plants, breweries and meat industries.
