FOOD & BEvERAgE 4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will always be needed on any process cooling system, but some systems are easier to maintain than others. Because of its toxic properties, when handling ammonia or performing maintenance on ammonia systems, facility managers and technicians must take very serious safety precautions, anticipate and manage the risks to people and the surroundings. However, on a system with R1234ze,
maintenance can be performed with limited risks. If a system is maintained by the original equipment manufacturer, facility and operations managers have the peace of mind that it is done through technicians, who are fully trained on safe maintenance of the HFO-containing units – and at a 24/7 notice to intervene when required.
5. Lead tiMe
As another criterion to consider when choosing the right system, lead time can make a big difference. The main factor here is standardisation. Standardised products with standardised
components open the door to shorter lead times and quicker deliveries allowing for the appropriate system with R1234ze to be delivered on short notice. Non-standardised products, like the
ammonia-based systems, take longer to design and manufacture, before they can be shipped and installed.
6. PerforMance
The last but equally important criterion to consider is performance. Standardised products such as chillers with R1234ze have underdone rigorous R&D procedures to offer the best possible performance and efficiency levels. Standardisation allows the units to be tested and certified by third parties to prove their catalogue performance is truly delivered. So far no ammonia systems have been
certified by third party organisations like the Eurovent or the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). This means that it is only after the full ammonia system has been installed and is running, manufacturers can see if it achieves the performance as promised.
In conclusion, modern, innovative systems
with R1234ze that are purposefully designed for process applications have clear advantages compared to ammonia-based systems. When specifying their process cooling equipment, manufacturers should carefully examine all the options available on the market to ensure they will fully benefit from their new cooling equipment for the years to come.
