Reliability of ammonia absorption refrigeration plants in the chemical and food industry.

Author(s) : LANGRECK J., BASSOLS J., KUCKELKORN B., et al.

Summary

Reliability, low maintenance costs and simple operating are important arguments for chemical and food industries to install an ammonia absorption refrigeration plant to supply cooling down to -60°C for their production. A short introduction to the absorption process is given. All components of an AARP are analysed concerning the needs of maintenance and the possibility of failures during operation. A typical maintenance plan for an AARP is explained. It shows that no specialists are required for operating, service and maintenance works. No special spare parts are needed. The plants can be operated completely automatically by a PLC. The possibilities of redundancy are discussed to ensure operation without stopping for several years.
