INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN PROJECT 1 When maximum cooling capacity is required during pull down, all compressors operate and as the cooling load diminishes, the compressors are cycled to optimise the performance efficiency of each compressor. A sophisticated Scada electronic plant management system automatically monitors and adjusts operating parameters to maximise plant efficiency. The plant room layout has been designed with the provision for a 30% increase in the cooling load at a later stage. 2 2 1.
