Improve the Energy Efficiency of the Cooling System by Slide Regulating the Capacity of Refrigerator Compressors

A fundamental part of the electric consumption main industries food sector comes from refrigeration production, needed in all production phases. Therefore, every measure that aims to optimize and increase efficiency centralized industrial systems will help energetic waste company, improving reliability maintenance. Acting on regulation capacity power compressors used can be a good way save energy. This article shows case studied by authors an company meat industry Spain, where have great importance productive process. It displays methodology used, description taken actions results obtained. These combined measures brought about improvement, with saving value reaching 400 MWh per year, leading equivalent CO2 emission reduction 147.9 tons.
