Case Studies: L Shape Wholesale Freezer
Carter Synergy has a number of key clients, one of which is a large food wholesaler and distributor based in Birmingham. A number of high profile and extensive projects have been undertaken in collaboration with the client in the last five years. Most recently one of the client’s critical freezer coldstores was determined to have reached the end of life and a solution had to be developed to replace this room, plant and all the associated electrical, construction and mechanical works to support this.
The initial assessment of the project immediately highlighted that the existing plant was inefficient and posed a high level of financial risk due to the refrigerant in use. Originally designed as an R22 system the four large reciprocating compressor/receiver sets had previously undergone two retrofits, first to R422d and then more recently to R438a (MO99). The client in conjunction with our design department settled on a natural refrigerant solution based on CO2 and a further consideration required the system to include a heat exchanger which would redirect rejected heat from the system into the ambient warehouse area and act as comfort heating for the staff.
