Possibilités d'économie d'énergie dans les systèmes frigorifiques de l'industrie agroalimentaire de Catalogne (Espagne).

Author(s) : LÓPEZ GÓMEZ A., CABEZAS A.

Summary

In 1991, energy audits were carried out in different sectors of the food industry. The following energy-saving possibilities in refrigeration systems were revealed: 21% in cold storage, 20% in the meat industry, 2.7% in the milk industry and 15% in the alcoholic beverage industry. These possibilities were based on the following improvements: computer control of the refrigeration system, evaporative condensers, automatic defrosting, electronic humidifiers, ice accumulation with high-performance systems (in the milk factories) and heat recovery from refrigeration systems.
