Reduced refrigerant
Frozen and chilled food products supplier, Brakes recently replaced the cold storage refrigeration plant at its Bishop’s Stortford facility with a new system from industrial cooling specialist Star Refrigeration.
The existing ammonia refrigeration plant at the site had come to the end of its operational life after 40 years. Brakes required a replacement system that would improve operating efficiency and reduce refrigerant charge. Star’s solution was to install a 250kW capacity Azanefreezer.
The high performance industrial freezer operates on a low charge of natural refrigerant ammonia and has zero global warming potential.
