4) What is the reason people prefer ammonia for chilly cold storage?
Generally chilly cold storage are above 5000 MT Capacity, in this range ammonia refrigerant is more economical than freon. For this large size storage customers, consultants, as well as Installers have a deep and long experience in working with Ammonia. Blue Cold has supplied and continues to supply many Chilly cold storage in the various small markets of Andhra Pradesh and North Karnataka.
5) What is the cooling capacity or heat load in TR required for a 2,500 MT chamber?
Approximate cooling capacity required for a 2,500 MT chilly storage chamber is 30 TR at 8 °C storage temperature. Accordingly for more chambers, the total capacity is multiplied by the total number of chambers. For example for 5,000 MT capacity the cooling required is approx. 60 TR.
6) Which model do you recommend for a 2,500 mt chamber for chilly, how many units, and what is the capacity of each model?
For 30 TR cooling capacity BLUE COLD recommends that the load be distributed inside the chamber according to the chamber length. It is important that for proper cooling and maintaining proper quality of Chilly storage, the cooling capacity as well as the Cold Air distribution should be properly done to make sure that there are no hotspots in the chamber.
BLUE COLD Suggests that when the length of the chamber is high, then number of units should be 4, and when the length of chamber is small the number of units should be 3. Accordingly, the most suitably designed models for the Chilly storage are:
(a) BLCA 655H.3A: 10 TR x 3 nos.
(b) BLCA 655M.3A: 7.5 TR x 4 nos.
