Type of monograph: Report, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guide is one of a series of eight being produced under the Food & Drink Industry Refrigeration Efficiency Initiative, a project sponsored by the Carbon Trust and supported by the Food and Drink Federation, the British Beer and Pub Association, the Cold Storage and Distribution Federation, Dairy UK and the Institute of Refrigeration (see also this Bulletin, references 2009-1831, 1833, 1834 and 1860). It contains practical advice about how to improve the efficiency of industrial refrigeration systems used in the food and drink industry. In the guide, four topics are reported to provide guidance to food and drink manufacturing companies to help improve energy efficiency. 30 manufacturing sites acted as "host sites". Refrigeration specialists visited each of the sites and carried out an energy efficiency assessment related to the four topics selected (reducing heat loads; reducing head pressure; improving part load performance; and reducing power consumed by pumps and fans). This document brings together the "common themes" from the site investigations and explains numerous energy saving opportunities. The guide can be downloaded from: www.ior.org.uk/ior_/images/pdf/general/REI-G5%20Site%20Guidance%20Topics%20-%20Final%20Jul-07.pdf.
