GREEN REFRIGERATION
Mayers refrigeration system uses carbon dioxide as the primary refrigerant which is highly efficient and a naturally occurring substance that is harmless to the environment. The carbon dioxide system is cooled with two super-efficient micro charged ammonia chillers which ensure optimal operating conditions are maintained all year round.
The defrosting system employs warm glycol as a heating agent which uses heat waste recovered from the refrigeration system. This type of system uses almost no energy and delivers an extremely dry environment inside the cold rooms. This greatly reduces after defrost heat loads, which in turn reduces compressor run time. The freezer sub floor uses a brand-new Australian patent to harvest low-intensity heat recovered from the liquid CO2 used to warm propylene glycol. It is pumped at a slow speed through a network of specially designed Nylon tubes built into the concrete in the cold rooms’ sub floors. This patent is a world first as it provides the first sub floor heating system that increases the energy efficiency of the refrigeration plant. By sub cooling the liquid refrigerant, it reduces the cooling systems power consumption.
