PRODUCTS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN ‘Optyma-l’ temperature control Danfoss has released inverter variable speed technology versions of its Optyma Plus packaged condensing units. The Optyma Plus Inverter with variable speed scroll compressor and drive deliver the best Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) on the market for refrigeration applications in medium temperatures for cooling capacities ranging from 2 to 9kW. Offering a wide stepless capacity modulation ranging from 30 to 100Hz, Optyma Plus Inverter enables tight temperature control to within ±0.3°C. Danfoss inverter scroll technology allows from 20 to 30% higher energy efficiency for medium temperature refrigeration applications compared to fixed-speed or mechanically modulated condensing units. The permanent magnet motor, inverter-driven modulation, intermediate compressor discharge valves, together with the micro-channel condenser contribute to a SEPR of 3.84, a performance level certified by ASERCOM for R407F. Optyma Plus has been developed to operate with R404A alternatives R407A and R407F. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 682 5300. Fans for life TLT-Turbo has launched a new range of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) fans, with ceramic hybrid bearings that provide a long operational lifespan. The fan offers numerous advantages regarding performance efficiency, minimal maintenance and high reliability. The MVR fans have a lower maintenance requirement, high motor speeds, a wide range of optimised impellers and the allowance for high temperature and pressure increases. The introduction of hybrid ceramic bearings underscores their commitment COLD LINK AFRICA • March/April 2020 to developing products in close alignment to their clients and their needs. The hybrid ceramic bearings are lifetime greased and can be operated for up to 10 years without requiring maintenance. Factors such as allow for operation of the fan below critical speed. The TLT-Turbo MVR fan is suited to applications in the food and beverage process and manufacturing sectors. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 871 6600. www.coldlinkafrica.co.za 47
