System start-up |
2004 |
For the manufacturing of filled fresh and frozen pasta, and to store the raw materials that go into them, the Austrian market leader Recheis Teigwaren GmbH required conditioned storehouses, regular and deep-freeze storehouses and a combined spiral/freezer-cooler. |
|
Demands |
The company required an economical and environmentally friendly refrigeration facility that complies with Austria's F-Gases regulation. |
Solution |
To furnish all the cold energy demand without using HFCs, the KWN Engineering-Gesellschaft mbH designed a refrigeration facility using the natural refrigerant ammonia. A carbon dioxide-cascade was additionally installed for the deep-freeze storehouse and the spiral freezer and cooler. |
