Client Brief

Industrial Refrigeration Specialists, Cross Refrigeration, have recently completed an upgrade of the factory cooling system for Kerry Foods at their Dairy Produce Packers site in Coleraine. The Contract was awarded by Dalkia Ireland as a result of a successful tender by Cross Refrigeration’s technical sales team based on their innovative design. The resultant plant design is energy efficient, easily retrofitted and cost effective to purchase.

Case Study: Kerry Foods

The Solution

Three different refrigeration systems were Installed: -

Process Chiller
High/low Area
IWS Chiller

1. Process Chiller

This project included the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a packaged glycol refrigeration plant, with remote evaporative condenser. We supplied a Grasso packaged chiller, with a Baltimore Aircoil remote condenser.
The installation also included a complete set of electrical and refrigeration pipework connections between the packaged chiller and the condenser. Connections have been made to the existing glycol pipe work in the plant room, with the Grasso chiller replacing the Sabroe Screw chiller on the glycol system.

2. High/Low Area

The High/low area included the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a central compressor pack refrigeration plant, with remote evaporative condenser. The compressor pack system installed is a Cross Refrigeration designed multi compressor pack, with a Baltimore Aircoil remote condenser. Air chilling is provided by 7 ceiling mounted evaporators.
Also included is a complete set of electrical and refrigeration pipework connections between the compressor pack, evaporators and the condenser. A central control panel is mounted for the evaporator controls in an area adjacent to the rooms.

3, IWS Chiller

The IWS chiller project included the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a central compressor pack refrigeration plant, with remote evaporative condenser. The compressor pack system installed is a Cross Refrigeration designed multi compressor pack, with a remote condenser by Baltimore Aircoil. Water chilling is by a Mueller plate, falling film heat exchanger.
Also included is a complete set of electrical and refrigeration pipework connections between the compressor pack, falling film heat exchanger and the condenser. Connections have been made to the existing water pipework in the plant room. A temporary Cross Hire chiller was used to facilitate the changeover to the new system.

The Result

All the main factory cooling systems have been replaced and future proofed, using the latest energy efficient technologies, with no loss in factory production. The customer’s expectations were met and exceeded using state of the art cooling systems.
