Star treatment for Arla Food’s Dairy.<\/p>\n

Star Refrigeration has installed a high efficiency\u00a0multi-temperature cooling plant at Arla Foods in\u00a0West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

The project by industrial cooling and heating\u00a0specialist Star formed part of Arla\u2019s third phase of\u00a0investment in additional production facilities at its\u00a0flagship dairy in Stourton, Leeds. Having been\u00a0involved in refrigeration works throughout the previous\u00a0construction phases, Star was responsible for\u00a0designing a high efficiency cooling system to allow\u00a0Arla to manufacture cottage cheese for the first\u00a0time in the UK.<\/p>\n

With an overriding commitment to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, Arla was looking for an environmentally conscious cooling solution. Star designed, supplied and installed a state-of-the-art central ammonia refrigeration plant, with energy saving equipment and control.<\/p>\n

The plant has a 5MW total cooling demand and\u00a0operates at three separate temperature levels. A\u00a0chilled water circuit provides cooling for the\u00a0building\u2019s heating, ventilation and air conditioning\u00a0(HVAC) systems. Ice water is circulated to meet\u00a0various process cooling demands within the\u00a0production facility. Sub-zero glycol also provides\u00a0cooling for a 2\u00b0C cold store and a\u00a0blast chilling tunnel.<\/p>\n

Star Refrigeration\u2019s Group Sales and Marketing\u00a0Director Rob Lamb says: \u201cArla\u2019s main focus was on\u00a0an energy efficient, environmentally-sound cooling\u00a0solution and we worked in close partnership on the\u00a0design of the system. We opted for naturally\u00a0occurring ammonia refrigerant because it has zero\u00a0global warming potential and is non-ozone\u00a0depleting.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cThe installation of a central plant with\u00a0three different cooling temperatures for process,\u00a0HVAC and cold storage requirements ensured that\u00a0refrigeration for each demand was achieved at\u00a0maximum efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The central ammonia system consists of five screw\u00a0compressors, three featuring inverter drives to\u00a0optimise part load efficiency. Heat is rejected via\u00a0three evaporative condensers with inverter driven\u00a0fans that are located above the plant on the roof of\u00a0the building. Other energy saving features include\u00a0inverter controls for the glycol\/water circulation\u00a0pumps, floating head pressure control and floating\u00a0suction pressure control.<\/p>\n

Star\u2019s Telstar computerised control system\u00a0constantly monitors and adjusts operating\u00a0conditions to optimise efficiency. Star also\u00a0provides an online 24-hour a day fault monitoring\u00a0service.<\/p>\n

As well as supplying all of the plant room\u00a0equipment, Star was responsible for the installation\u00a0of a 1.5MW cooling tower for high temperature\u00a0process water cooling, a number of coldstore\u00a0coolers and associated pipework.<\/p>\n

When it comes to designing energy efficient cooling\u00a0and heating systems, Star is a natural innovator.\u00a0Star works with strategic partners across the globe\u00a0to deliver low carbon, cost saving solutions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
