PROJECT INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN 1 run even more cost-effectively, since the borehole negates the need for potable water. The only additional requirement was a water side stream filtration unit, which was provided by Water Upington. This was a crucial addition to remove any dissolved minerals that may have shortened the lifespan of the evaporative condensing unit. EP needed to complete the installation while the facility remained 100% operational and, as far as possible, they would have to work around existing equipment. UNINTERRUPTED REFRIGERATION 2 rooms are individually controlled via One of the biggest challenges of this an eLumac Refrigeration Evaporator project was ensuring that no further Controller, as well as Danfoss electronic production and stock losses would be expansion valves and supply air, incurred. EP needed to complete the return air, evaporating, and suction installation while the facility remained temperature sensors. 100% operational and, as far as possible, One interesting advantage with this project was that the client already had a borehole on site that was primarily they would have to work around existing equipment. The team decided that the best way being used to clean floors and other forward would be to plan the installation components. This meant that the in each individual area around the client’s evaporative condensers that were production schedules and to determine for specified for the site could be made to how long each section of the facility could 4 3 1. Inside the processing area (and everywhere), hygiene is of utmost importance. 2. Bacon slicing and packaging. 3. Multiplex control panel. 4. Multiplex low-temp A and B with medium-temp A. 16 www.coldlinkafrica.co.za COLD LINK AFRICA • May 2019
