Whirlpool refrigerator production and testing area having aroung 3.5 Lkah Sq.ft with installed normal fresh air and turbo vnetilators. System has designed and installed aroung 1998 with normal 6 Air changes norms. Enclosure resting facilty connected 7000 KW heating load and cattered with normal air which causes inside temeprature morethan 39 deg c and operator feel discomfort. Area having number of hot pocket due to machin accoupied.
Key Initiatives
We Converted normal ventilation fresh air RCC constructed room to single stage evaporatinve cooling by adding Celdeckpad section. All dropper replaced with new Jet diffuser. Clioent need solutions with exisiting system so we implemented HVLS fans 16 Nos to increase more skin velocity. Maximum cooled air directed towards HVLS. Total 10 Lakh CFM frresh cooled air help with 80 Lkh Recirculating air by HVLS.
Key Impacts
Plan maintained at 32 deg c Temperature with skin velocity more than 1 m/s at every point. New HVLS concept optimised the power consuption by 60%. Old 20 year back dated system utilised and delivering similar performace like New type of single stage evaporative coolers.
