ECONOMIC DESIGN FOR LARGE MEAT WORKS REFRIGERATION PLANT.

Author(s) : BOWATER F. J.

Summary

REFRIGERATION CAN BE SUPPLIED BY EITHER PACKAGED OR CENTRALIZED OR SATELLITE ENGINE-ROOMS. THE INVESTMENT COSTS OF MODULAR SYSTEMS ARE ATTRACTIVE BUT ELECTRICAL POWER COSTS ARE HIGH ; FOR THIS REASON, THESE TYPES OF EQUIPMENT ARE ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT ONLY WHEN THE ANNUAL OPERATING TIME IS EXTREMELY SMALL. CENTRALIZED PLANT HAVE ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES (FLEXIBILITY, MAINTENANCE AND EMERGENCY FACILITIES). CONDENSATION HEAT CAN BE USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOT WATER. INVESTMENT COSTS FOR FREEZING CAN BE REDUCED BY USING SINGLE-STAGE SCREW COMPRESSORS, PROVIDED THEIR EFFICIENCY IS MAINTAINED BY THE USE OF SUBCOOLED LIQUID FROM THE CHILLING OR AIR CONDITIONING PLANT. IF THE TREND TO REDUCED INVESTMENT COSTS CONTINUES, ENERGY CONSERVATION POLICIES WILL BE UNSUCCESSFUL.
