Operating ammonia refrigeration systems at peak efficiency.

Number: pap. n. 15

Author(s) : KHOUDIACHOV S.

Summary

There are several ways to improve energy efficiency of ammonia refrigeration systems. To save energy, many companies invest in additional condensers, sophisticated PLC’s, and VFD’s. Unfortunately, optimization of the refrigeration plant operation is often overlooked. However, this optimization is the most cost-effective approach to save energy in ammonia industrial refrigeration. By improving the operation of ammonia systems, companies can get 10-20 times better return on investments compared to typical investments in energy saving equipment. This technical paper will review practical implementation of the optimized operation. Many existing refrigeration systems can save 10-20% of the energy use by optimizing condensing pressure, suction pressure, hot gas defrosting, etc. To achieve these energy savings, limited investments are required. However, operators should work as a team with energy efficiency experts to minimize energy use of their refrigeration systems.
