IMPROVING REFRIGERATION IN THE DAIRY PLANT.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE COST OF RUNNING THE COMPRESSOR MAY BE CONSIDERABLY REDUCED BY CROSS-FLOW COOLING USING SPECIALLY DESIGNED HEAT EXCHANGERS (HOT CREAM FROM THE PASTEURIZER PRE-HEAT COLD RAW MILK). IT MAY BE PRACTICAL TO USE A COOLING TOWER FOR COOLING THE HIGHER TEMPERATURE PORTION OF THE TOTAL COOLING LOAD WITH SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS IN COMPRESSOR OPERATING COSTS. REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS SHOULD BE OPERATED AT THE HIGHEST PRACTICAL EVAPORATING TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD AVOID PEAK LOAD SIZING BY USING CHILLED WATER REFRIGERATION. OPERATION OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS AT EXCESSIVELY HIGH HEAD PRESSURES ALSO PENALIZES THE SYSTEM IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE HEAT FROM REFRIGERATION COMPRESSORS IS POINTED OUT. (DAIRY SCI. ABSTR., GB., 44, N.11, 1982/11, 801, 7335.
