NEW COOLING SYSTEM INSTALLED IN ABANQOBI ’ S PRODUCTION FACILITY
The installation of Abanqobi Packaging ’ s new cooling system in a newly-commissioned production and warehouse facility was a rarity – a project that through careful planning , coordination and execution , went off without a hiccup . The project involved installing two Trane scroll type air cooled chillers , a buffer tank , a plate heat exchanger , two secondary circulating pumps with VSDs and the associated piping , electrical and control systems . The Trane chilled water plant management system was adopted to ensure accurate and efficient control of the cooling system throughout the production cycle .

RETAIL CHAIN MOVES TO OVER 90 % CO2 ON REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
This achievement was reached with the latest store re-build in Pietermartizburg , KwaZulu-Natal , after it was essentially destroyed in the 2021 unrest period and subsequent looting . Having started the re-build process in May 2022 , the Makro Pietermaritzburg store was again opened to customers at the end of November 2022 . Makro requested a CO2 refrigeration system from the start . The system installed at the Pietermaritzburg site , collaboratively supplies to the store approximately 504kW cooling capacity . The refrigeration system is made up of two parallel compression refrigeration packs .

THIS YEAR ’ S LARGEST DC PROJECT : PICK ‘ N PAY REFRIGERATION
The ammonia plant is a 7.2MW installed refrigeration plant with a total of 9.2MW of heat rejection to the evaporative condensers . The plant is divided into two suction regimes , namely minus 8.75 ° C and + 3.25 ° C , to optimise energy efficiency . The -8.75 ° C system is a 4.5MW chilled glycol system supplying the 2 ° C rooms with cooling , while the + 3.25 ° C system is a 2.15MW plant supplying the 14 ° C and chocolate box rooms with cooling .
