REBUILDING A 35-YEAR-OLD COLD STORE.

Summary

THE REBUILDING PROGRAMME INCLUDED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BLOCK OF FOUR 8,600 M3 ROOMS, THE PROVISION FOR AN IDENTICAL ONE LATER ON, AND THE ENTIRE REVAMPING OF THE MACHINE ROOM, TO INCORPORATE A LOW PRESSURE AMMONIA SYSTEM, WORKING IN CASCADE WITH ONE OF THE PRESENT BRINE CIRCUITS. THE LOW PRESSURE AMMONIA SYSTEM WILL OPERATE AT TWO DIFFERENT EVAPORATING TEMPERATURES, USING TWO MACHINES FROM TWO PUMPING RECEIVERS. A SMALL HIGH PRESSURE UNIT WILL PROVIDE HOT GAS FOR DEFROSTING PURPOSES. ON THE NEW CIRCUIT, THE SYSTEM SHALL INCORPORATE TWO HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS, TO PROVIDE SMALL AMOUNTS OF TEPID PROCESS WATER, TO PROVIDE SOIL HEATING, AND TO HEAT CASTOR OIL TO PREVENT DOOR GASKET FROSTING.
