The company continually develops new products to improve power plant and component performance.\r\n\r\nStar\u2019s thermodynamic system has been installed at Alstom\u2019s UK research facility in the Midlands. The system was developed to replace existing equipment with a more environmentally efficient solution.\r\n\r\nThe new dual-purpose system supplies fluorine refrigerant R134a to a research and development (R+D) test facility. The gas is then recovered and condensed by the system before it is recycled.\r\n\r\nThe plant features an air-cooled evaporator and condenser in one unit. The evaporator uses ambient air to generate 1000kg\/hr of R134a gas from liquid at 3.5 bar (A).\r\n\r\nA reciprocating compressor delivers superheated gas to the R+D test facility at the required pressure. The gas is later recovered and condensed in an air-cooled condenser. It is then stored as a liquid in a high pressure receiver, before being recirculated by the system.\r\n\r\nThe system also features a unique Star manufactured purger, capable of removing up to 4kg\/h of non-condensable gases. The plant is operated by Telstar, Star\u2019s patented computerised control system.\r\n\r\nAlstom\u2019s innovative system was developed in consultation with Star\u2019s technical advisory arm, Star Technical Solutions (STS). STS operates as an independent consultancy, working alongside Alstom from the design stage through to commissioning.\r\n\r\nStar-owned mechanical and electrical contractor Penec was responsible for the removal of an existing electrical system. Penec also completed the installation of new electrical panels and wiring.\r\n\r\nView this story as a PDF<\/a>\u00a0(Document opens in a new window)\u00a0Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need to\u00a0download Adobe Acrobat Reader.<\/a>\u00a0You can download it for free.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Star\u00a0Refrigeration has developed an innovative gas recovery and recycling system for Alstom, the power plant","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nStar Develops Gas Recycling System for Alstom | Star Refrigeration<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Star\u00a0Refrigeration has developed an innovative gas recovery and recycling system for Alstom, the power plant solutions specialist.
