Benoit Rodier of CIMCO refrigeration presents a case study on an installation at Viandes Meats, a company that produces 20,000 lb/hr (9,072kg/hr) of frozen products for restaurants, hotels and institutions. The project, started in 2011, is relies on ammonia with glycol recirculation for the HVAC&R system. Among the system’s advantages, Benoit highlights the 25% decrease in the installation’s footprint and a reduction in the electrical entry of 800 amps. Rodier concludes the presentation saying that for similar upcoming projects CIMCO would use the same approach but replace the secondary fluid (propylene glycol) with CO₂.
