While the physics of refrigeration haven’t changed over the past few decades – there has been significant technology advancement in energy efficiency, controls and automation.
We are talking with plenty of clients on Thermosyphon oil cooling, floating head pressure control and optimized smart plants with the aim to achieve 3-8% better efficiency out of your ammonia refrigeration plant. For certain applications low charge DX ammonia can provide superior energy savings and benefits of lower ammonia charge.
When it comes to HFC/ freon technology, we see CO2 having an impact as the technology has improved in transcritical systems.
Cold Logic also has a partnership with Yanmar Australia to provide natural gas powered chillers allowing customers to almost operate off-grid for their refrigeration. These options include chilled water or low temperature glycol. There is even a LPG gas option for these chillers should natural gas not be available onsite.
