The presentation charted the Coca-Cola Company’s global strategy to phase out HFCs and adopt natural refrigerant technology (predominantly CO2) in all of its vending machines. The company now has 1.7 million HFC units equipped globally, yet from 2020, all of its vending machines on the market will use natural refrigerants, including its innovative ‘peak-shift’ technology.

Crookston’s presentation investigated the cost gains and losses associated with using heat reclaim domestic hot water units in three of Sobeys’ Canadian provinces – Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Crookston noted that at 70 degrees Celsius, the gas cooler/condenser’s workload fell by 6-7%.

As part of its corporate sustainability initiatives, Yokorei chose Mayekawa’s NewTonR-3000 units for its Yumeshima Logistics Center in light of the initial, operating and 20-year life cycle costs. The cold storage facility has seen a 38% reduction in power consumption compared to a similar-sized logistics center, while the company has also implemented solar panels and LED lighting in a number of its 43 facilities.

The presentation compared Patine Leisure’s commercialised NH3/CO2 ice rink system to two R22 (direct and glycol) ice skating rinks, with power consumption reductions at all three of its rinks in Japan. The company’s flagship installation in Saitama, Japan has a 10-year payback period, with solar power generation offsetting approximately 90% of energy consumption.

After explaining the concept of ground freezing techniques using natural refrigerants for construction works, the presentation comapred a CO2/NH3 freezing system to a conventional R22 system, which achieves a vastly greater COP of 2.55 compared to 1.63. Chemical Grouting intends to help green the construction sector in Japan, with a metropolitan expressway and bullet train among its planned works in the near future.

Industrial Refrigeration & Other Applications Case Studies |
Inderpal Saund presented findings from a recently installed ultra-low charge glycol chiller operating with ammonia as the refrigerant. The case study further outlined the end user’s decision-making process (Sylvan Mushrooms Australia), and how the ultra low-charge ammonia glycol chiller reduces operating costs and minimises environmental footprint.
