How can you optimise your industrial cooling system?
Rising energy prices, stricter regulations and the pressure to stay ahead of the competition call for sustainable innovations.
Thanks to process intensification, companies not only have the potential to produce in a safer, more sustainable and cleaner way, but also to become more efficient. In this way, making processes more sustainable delivers both better results and lower costs in one fell swoop: a win-win-win situation. The same applies to refrigeration systems.
Refrigeration systems are often energy-intensive, and replacing them can lead to significant efficiency gains. To cool products in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way, choosing the right technical system and refrigerant is crucial.
Our colleague Martijn Rayen, who works in our Energy Efficiency department at Encon, had the pleasure of being interviewed alongside Ghent University professor Steven Lecomte for the magazine ‘food industry’ (April 2023 issue). Together, they discuss trends in refrigeration systems, such as heat recovery, thermal storage and control algorithms that detect when a component needs replacing.
