Industrial cooling solutions provider Aqua Cooling has developed and installed a new future-proof chiller system for Anson Packaging’s manufacturing plant near Ely, Cambridgeshire, England.
Anson Packaging is a UK provider of packaging to the foodservice market and is a part of Danish-based multinational Faerch Plast Group, which manufactures food-to-go packaging.
The new highly efficient packaging cooling system is designed by utilizing glycol-free free-cooling and magnetically-driven centrifugal compressor chillers. As part of contract awarded earlier, Aqua delivered two 700kW and two 800kW air-cooled, thermosyphon free-cooling Turbocor units working on R134a refrigerant for the Anson site.
Designed to spread the cooling load while ensuring optimum cooling and ultra-high efficiency levels, the system features full built-in redundancy. It also allows free cooling to be achieved in a higher ambient temperature than normal.
Additionally, the Turbocor solution is claimed to be 60% more efficient when compared with traditional compressors that have integrated free cooling.
Faerch Plast representative said: "We are very happy with Aqua Cooling's work, from the state-of-the-art cooling technology the firm pro-vided and the project management of both the pipework installation and chillers, to the very professional level of aftercare.
"Thanks to the Turbocor technology, we can now achieve maximum efficiency at a reduced load. We no longer have excess machinery on standby in case of servicing or faults, which is something that has always seemed a waste of investment to me."
In 2015, Faerch Plast acquired Anson Packaging aimed at strengthening its position in the global food packaging market and broadening its portfolio.
