IN POULTRY PLANT: HEAT PUMP SYSTEM RECOVERS ENERGY FROM AMMONIA REFRIGERATION COMPRESSORS.

Type of article: Article

Summary

IN A LARGE POULTRY PROCESSING PLANT USING AMMONIA REFRIGERATION FOR VARIOUS CHILLING AND ICE-MAKING DUTIES, A WATER/GLYCOL MIXTURE IS HEATED TO 305 K (32 DEG C) THROUGH THE CONDENSERS. THIS IN TURN HEATS PLANT WATER AND ALSO PROVIDES A HEAT SOURCE FOR A HEAT-PUMP WHICH FURTHER HEATS PLANT WATER TO 333 K (60 DEG C). A LARGE TANK PROVIDES SURGE PROTECTION AND BOILERS ARE AVAILABLE TO MAKE UP TEMPERATURE IF NECESSARY. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A TWO YEAR PAYBACK PERIOD COVERS THE EQUIPMENT COST. D.W.H.
