Ammonia Evaporator for Cooling System in Dairy Production Plant

Ammonia Evaporator for Cooling System in Dairy Production Plant

Function of Ammonia Evaporator

Cooling Efficiency: The ammonia evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, effectively lowering temperatures in the dairy processing area.

Phase Change: Ammonia is used as a refrigerant due to its high efficiency. In the evaporator, ammonia transitions from a liquid to a gas, absorbing heat in the process.

Refrigeration Cycle: The evaporated ammonia is then compressed and condensed back into a liquid form, continuing the refrigeration cycle.

Importance in Dairy Production

Preservation of Products: Maintaining low temperatures is essential for preserving milk and dairy products, preventing spoilage and extending shelf life.

Energy Efficiency: Ammonia systems are typically more energy-efficient compared to other refrigerants, which can lead to lower operational costs.

Environmental Considerations: Ammonia has a lower global warming potential than many synthetic refrigerants, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

Key Components

Evaporator Coil: Where the phase change occurs, absorbing heat from the dairy products.

Compressor: Pumps the gaseous ammonia and increases its pressure.

Condenser: Converts the gas back to liquid, releasing the absorbed heat.

Expansion Valve: Reduces the pressure of the liquid ammonia before it enters the evaporator.

Maintenance Considerations

Regular Inspections: Check for leaks and efficiency.

Cleaning: Keep coils and components free of dust and debris.

Monitoring: Use sensors to track temperature and pressure for optimal performance.
