The document discusses using ammonia instead of R404A as the refrigerant in a water chiller system that cools and stores 8000 tons of apples. Ammonia has advantages as a natural refrigerant with zero global warming potential. While ammonia systems have higher upfront costs due to safety requirements, they provide higher cooling capacity, lower operating costs, and energy savings compared to R404A. A case study analysis found that switching the apple storage system from R404A to ammonia compressors could save 29 MWh of electricity in the first 27 days of operation.

This paper introduces the subject of industrial cooling and discusses the most important energy savings that are possible in this area.
Cooling is very expensive, so it is important that it is used only where necessary, and that only the most efficient technology is used. For thermodynamic reasons, the energy efficiency of a cooling system increases with decreasing temperature differential. It is therefore crucial to keep this differential as low as possible.
Three main types of cooling systems prevail in industrial environments: dry cooling, evaporative cooling, and compression cooling. This paper explains their main working principles and characteristics. Other types, such as absorption cooling, gas expansion, and thermo-electric cooling, are not treated in this application guide because of their limited presence in industry.
Each system has its own application domain. The choice of the right cooling system is one of the important initial decisions that must be taken in order to achieve maximum energy efficiency. Furthermore, this paper discusses several specific energy saving actions for each of the three cooling systems.
Significant energy savings can be made by installing variable frequency drives on fans (dry cooling, evaporative cooling), pumps (evaporative cooling, compression cooling), and compressors (compression cooling).
At the technology round table strategic presentations on Industrial Refrigeration will be presented by leading industry representatives, followed by a panel discussion.

Low charge ammonia vapour compression refrigeration system for residential ai...RAJESHKUMAR4616
Low-charge ammonia chillers provide a natural refrigerant option for the chiller market facing pressure to reduce the global warming impact of their systems. However, to make the most significant impact initially and for the life of the system, ammonia chillers must be able to deliver premium efficiency to assure the lowest indirect impact to the environment. Ammonia’s availability is not at risk of becoming scarce like hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) synthetic refrigerants; however, energy codes are always becoming more stringent and the most advantageous systems will stand the test of time from a chemical perspective and from a performance perspective.
Ammonia chillers with small amount of refrigerant have afforded the benefits of industrial quality and efficiency with the ability for deployment just like commercial packaged systems. However, packaged ammonia systems maintain some key differences relative to commercial HFC packages that are important to understand because they bring added value, but also additional capital cost. It is therefore important to consider the total cost of ownership to understand the business impact fully.
GRE is an international company delivering carbon neutral, integrated solutions, for the production of sustainable renewable energy, from regional biomass.
Gussing Renewable Energy Asia is currently working on the application of its unique biomass gasification technology to plants at Daigo, Japan, and Nong Bua, Thailand.
The project in Thailand Began in 2010 with company formation and project assessment. The 250-million-baht project was a joint venture between GRE and Siam Cement Group (SCG), with research assistance from the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) has taken almost 8 years to complete.
The carbon-neutral waste gasification plant in Nong Bua built by Gussing Renewable Energy (GRE) recently began supplying power to the area in November, turning agricultural and forest waste from the local community to energy that could power about 3,000 homes.
The plant has an electrical output of one megawatt (MW) and a fuel capacity of 4MW, with an overall efficiency of around 75%. Some of the energy from the plant will be used for a 315-square-metre cold storage facility for farmers’ crops
The plant is technically carbon-neutral, as it accounts for the CO2 the biomass takes out of the atmosphere, which is then released after the final gas is burned as fuel. The system does not produce any waste water. The only byproduct is ash, which accounts for 2.5% of the mass put into the system, and can be reused as a soil conditioner in surrounding farms, or for cement.
In the future, the plant is expected to produce hydrogen and liquid kerosene that can be used in aeroplanes.
This is the first waste gasification plant built in Thailand.
he Nong Bua plant is essentially operating as a demonstration and test run for viability in other towns that wish to adopt the model.
Based on the success of the project, GRE and SCG hope to open 1-5MW plants in small towns with populations of 10,000-50,000 throughout Thailand, for a total capacity of about 1,000MW.
Year 2006 - Based on the broad practical experience of Laborelec, this presentation explains in a comprehensive way how cooling works by looking at the different techniques used. A large part of the presentation addresses energy saving opportunities, which can be realized at the production, distribution and use of industrial cooling.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

For chilling and storing apples, cooling installation
has been planned with water chiller using Freon 404A
as a refrigerant, and cools secondary fluid, mix of water
and glycol to -6ºC temperature and lower. Advantage
of the secondary fluid is the possibility of temperature
control in cold storages with small difference between
the air and secondary fluid’s temperature. In this way
loss in weight of products is decreased. Besides that, it
is also important that the quantity of a refrigerant in
such cooling systems is small.
Necessary cooling capacity for cooling and storing
8000 tons of apples is around 1.1 MW.

Freon 404A as three component mixture of a
refrigerants R143a / R125 / R134a has high global
warming potential (GWP=3780). Therefore in the
European Union measures are contemplated which
would lead to decreased use of this refrigerant. The
first of the measures introduced by Denmark since
2011 is ecological tax for use of Freon 404A
amounting to 79€/kg, which shall be collected during
Freon procurement.
That made us think of envisaging some of the
natural refrigerants for this cold storage. The choice
was ammonia.

Ammonia as a Refrigerant in the Water Chiller for apple storage cooling
6. Roundtable on climate & ozone-friendly technologies in refrigeration & air-conditioning
Ammonia as a natural refrigerant has GWP=0,
meaning that it does not influence global warming of
the Earth, therefore its use is being stimulated.
Advantages in using ammonia with strong smell is that
during leakage which happens occasionally in cooling
installations is that you can immediately sense it,
remedy the failure and top-up the installation with
refrigerant without stopping. Differently from that,
Freons, even R404A are without smell and its leakage
from the cooling installation can not be observed until
pressure drops, that is, capacity decreases.
Belgrade, May 10, 2011 Slobodan Pejković 6
Ammonia as a Refrigerant in the Water Chiller for apple storage cooling
7. Roundtable on climate & ozone-friendly technologies in refrigeration & air-conditioning
Because R404A is three-component mixture of
different Freons, in case of leakage one must
discharge the whole quantity from the installation
(installation charge is around 300 kg), the failure must
be remedied, than the installation should be vacuumed
and refilled. This procedure requires several hours
work and during that period the cooling installation can
not operate.

8. Roundtable on climate & ozone-friendly technologies in refrigeration & air-conditioning
Ammonia as a refrigerant is cheaper. Exploitation
costs and maintenance costs of modern ammonia
installations are lower than for Freon installations.
Installations with ammonia as a refrigerant are
more energy efficient, meaning that for achieving the
same cooling capacity they shall spend less
electricity. Due to poor mixing with oils for lubricating
compressor, ammonia can be used in flooded
evaporators at higher evaporating temperatures in
relation to Freons, simultaneously using less
electricity.

In order to achieve the necessary glycol
temperature of -6ºC with ammonia as a refrigerant,
the compressors can work with evaporation
temperature of -10ºC in flooded plate&shell
evaporator and with suction gas superheat of 1K.
In order to achieve the same conditions (glycol
temperature and capacity) with Freon R404A as a
refrigerant, the installation must have an direct
expansion evaporator where the evaporation
temperature can not exceed -12ºC while suction gas
superheat must be from 6 to 10K.

Tables show that in installations using ammonia
as a refrigerant for the same compressor model,
cooling capacity is 10% higher in relation to R404A
with smaller absorbed power for 11.3 kW.
During the first 27 days of work of the cold
storage with full capacity, when the daily apple intake
exceeds 300 t/day, electricity savings during work of
4 screw compressors, products of Bitzer, model
OSKA8581-K with ammonia as a refrigerant would be
29 MWh. Simultaneously, these compressors would
have 10% higher cooling capacity than the Freon
ones, and would enable quicker cooling of apples,
which is very important for apple quality.

12. Roundtable on climate & ozone-friendly technologies in refrigeration & air-conditioning
Analyses of different solutions using ammonia
have been made. One of the solutions was a chiller
with one screw compressor of 1150 kW cooling
capacity. Maximum cooling capacity for this type of
cold storage is necessary during the first 30 days of
work, from start of apple picking. After that, needs for
cooling decrease, as well as the external temperature,
and the water chiller has better condensing conditions.
Therefore a solution with three water chillers has been
discussed – chillers in variant 1 with water cooled
condenser, and in the variant 2 with air cooled
condenser. Both solutions have their advantages and
shortcomings.

13. Roundtable on climate & ozone-friendly technologies in refrigeration & air-conditioning
Advantage of the chiller with air cooled
condenser is installed in the container outside the cold
storage facility, so no special safety measures are
required. Besides that, apples are stored in the period
from October to June, when we don’t have extremely
high air temperatures, and the condensing
temperatures are such that they render sufficiently high
Energy Efficiency Ratio – EER.

AUTOMATIC OIL RECOVERY SYSTEM
For a regular, efficient and continuous operation
of a chiller, it’s necessary to guarantee oil recovery to
the compressor.
Oil often collects in the bottom part of the
evaporator, with the risk to compromise efficiency and
heat exchange of the evaporator. For this reason an oil
recovery system has been introduced; thanks to an
ejector, oil at low pressure is conveyed from evaporator,
with high pressure ammonia to the compressor suction.
