Summary

In the food industry, cogeneration plants are widely used. Many industries use cogeneration plants with either gas engines or turbines to cover their steam, hot water and electrical demands. The combination of an absorption refrigeration with a cogeneration plant makes it possible to use all generated heat for the production of cooling. Absorption refrigeration plants working with ammonia as refrigerant can be driven either by steam, pressurized hot water or directly with the exhaust gases. Examples of typical plants are illustrated in different sectors in the food industry.
