Wellingborough, UK: Danish manufacturer Advansor and British contractor Greencold have won the ACR News “Chiller Product of the Year” award for 2022.
Advansor and Greencold won for a collaboration that saw a UK packaging company save 120,000kWh, or 30% of its energy consumption, with the installation of a CO2 water chiller.
The CO2 (R744) chiller chosen for the end-user is a 300kW (85.3TR) SteelX medium-temperature-only unit with four compressors.
The CO2 chiller was specified and installed by Greencold for process cooling and replaced an old HFC unit. The solution includes a gas cooler and an enclosure.
Simon Andrew, managing director of Greencold, said: “We chose Advansor [for this project] because CO2 was a key requirement, and they are the leading supplier.”
“Our client wanted a sustainable solution based 100% on natural refrigerants to help reach their goal to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 across operations,” Andrew said. “Both we and our customer are very satisfied with the solution, providing 30% energy savings, and at the same time, we have experienced good service and high quality.”
