ShareINSIGHTS INTO THE DESIGN AND CONTROL OF A 1,000 TON/DAY ICE-MAKING PLANT.
Author(s) : IRVING R., BAILEY-MCEWAN M.
Summary
THE ICE-MAKING PLANT FOR UNDERGROUND COOLING AT HARMONY GOLD MINING CO LTD, SOUTH AFRICA, COULD NOT ATTAIN ITS SPECIFIED CAPACITY OF 1,090 TONS/DAY. EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE THE REASONS FOR THIS LOWER THAN EXPECTED ICE PRODUCTION. THE PRINCIPAL MALFUNCTION IS EXCESSIVE HEATING OF THE ICE-MAKING MODULES DURING ICE SHEDDING. TWO FAULTS (ARISING FROM THE USE OF HOT GAS BOTH TO SHED ICE AND TO TRANSFER REFRIGERANT LIQUID BETWEEN MODULES) CONTRIBUTE TO THIS: AN UNNECESSARILY RESTRICTIVE LIQUID TRANSFER PATH, AND A LACK OF CONTROL TO ACCOMPLISH LIQUID TRANSFER COMPLETELY WITH MINIMAL HOT GAS.
