Description:
The combination of external influences has compelled us to respond to stricter requirements for indoor environment quality. High humidity levels during the summer months, rising energy prices, and the need for environmentally sustainable operations regarding carbon footprint are the main drivers.
To remove moisture and dehumidify the air, we need the lowest possible water temperature supplied to the air handling systems. The condensed moisture then drains from the coolers; the lower the cooler temperature, the more effectively we can dry the air.
The original cooling system supplied cooling water at temperatures of 8-10 °C, while the new machine can achieve temperatures as low as 5 °C. The new cooling system features smoother regulation and is technically two machines combined into one, allowing it to operate economically, even at partial capacity.
Benefits of the New System:
- Improved Cooling Efficiency:
A lower outlet temperature allows for faster and more efficient heat dissipation, enhancing the overall efficiency of the cooling system. - Higher Quality Refrigerated Products:
For applications requiring precise temperature control, such as at ELI, a lower outlet temperature helps maintain higher product quality and safety. - Enhanced Comfort in Air Conditioning Applications:
In air conditioning systems, a lower outlet temperature enables quicker attainment of desired room temperatures, improving user comfort and effectively dehumidifying the air. - Better Energy Efficiency:
Two-stage control allows for better adaptation of power to current requirements, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. - Lower Wear and Tear on Components:
Smoother regulation ensures more even equipment operation, reducing mechanical stress and wear on key components, thereby extending machine lifespan. - More Accurate Temperature Control:
Two-stage control enables finer temperature adjustments, maintaining a more stable temperature range beneficial for sensitive applications. - Increased System Flexibility:
The ability to operate in two stages allows for better response to varying operating conditions and requirements, enhancing the overall flexibility of the cooling system.
