A calculation comparing heat transfer fluids, CRANE Temper and MPG, for optimizing energy and material savings in a secondary system
Typical refrigeration and freezer applications were used to evaluate energy and equipment needs with CRANE Temper and MPG. The evaluation was made to optimize the energy consumption and the size of the components. The results from the evaluation show that up to 61 % savings in pump energy can be achieved

Session description
Comparison In a secondary refrigeration system with a heat transfer fluid (HTF) as the energy transfer medium, three main components can be identified. Namely heat exchangers/evaporator, cooling battery/fan air coolers and the pumps.
The calculations are made for a fictitious cold and freezing warehouse located in Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast, but also discussions about what they would mean if the plant was located on the southern coast of Spain in Malaga.
• The size of the cold storage is typically 6,000 m2 and should maintain + 2°C. Temper-15 and MPG 30 %, respectively, are chosen as the cold carrier in comparison, both with a freezing ...
