Among the natural refrigerants, ammonia has always been the protagonist in the field of industrial refrigeration, and due to the stringent constraints imposed by the regulations for the phase out of F-Gases, especially in Europe, it reconfirms its role in numerous markets, primarily in the Food sector.

Appreciated by operators in the food preservation sector for its thermodynamic properties, ammonia, with a GWP and an ODP equal to zero, has all the characteristics to present itself as a safe and long-term alternative. Ammonia systems, enhanced in efficiency, are a guarantee of low energy consumption and high yields, which meets the needs of end users to combine sustainability and excellent performance. In this context, the Soluzione Termica project was born, which, together with Frascold, took care of the efficiency of a production site of a leader in gastronomy specialties and a reality appreciated in the international market of fresh cheese.

Soluzione Termica, a player that has been operating for over 30 years in the field of eco-friendly industrial refrigeration, has carried out an in-depth analysis of the Client's production processes, from the receipt of the milk to the storage phase of the finished product, to propose an alternative to systems consisting of cooling units with traditional refrigerant fluids. The construction of two NH3 chillers has been planned, with Frascold compressors that will constitute the new refrigerated glycol production plant used both for the cooling of the premises and for processing.

The new plant also ensures a controlled temperature of 2/4°C, within the new storage and distribution platform of the finished product of approximately 25,000 m3.

The two chillers each consist of three high efficiency Frascold screw compressors coupled directly to IE3 motors and have flooded plate evaporators.
