Slaughterhouse Cooling Systems

Measures for further processing of meat obtained by slaughtering animals in slaughterhouse cooling systems are a complex and multi-stage process. Technologies enable the use of special equipment containing units for cooling, storage and preservation of carcasses. Modern machines and processing lines make it possible to organize almost waste-free production with recycling of by-product raw materials. As a rule, livestock slaughterhouse equipment is used to complement the used warehouse areas.

Small meat processing enterprises often cannot afford the supply of full-fledged units designed to complete each processing cycle with high efficiency. In such cases, the primary processing complex becomes the best option. In such complexes the machines by which meat is organized are concentrated. This type of equipment provides a complete recycling cycle. Again, the function of the machines is performed with the expectation of minimizing costs through the use of waste-free technologies. In other words, the business disposes of all secondary products.

How Do Cooling Systems Work?

A cooling system is used to reject heat from a process or facility. To best optimize the efficiency of a cooling system, a “systems approach” should be used to determine potential savings and performance gains. This approach includes pumps, motors, fans, nozzles, charging, drift losses, evaporative losses, blow-by, make-up rate, chemicals. looks at the entire cooling system, including flow rates, temperatures, pressure drop, and operating and maintenance practices. The system can be configured to avoid inefficiencies and energy losses by focusing on the entire system as opposed to individual components. Cooling systems do not always operate at a single condition, and system loads are cyclical Varies depending on demands, environmental conditions and changes in process requirements.

To determine whether efficiency gains can be achieved in a cooling system, it is necessary to understand the types of systems and their strengths and shortcomings. Cooling systems are available in many designs and construction types, each with advantages and limitations. In general, all cooling systems will use a combination of several of these design features.

Application of Technology

There are efficiency gains in every cooling system design. New systems have the most potential for optimization using the latest technology, but existing systems also have potential. The type of cooling system chosen requires a comprehensive evaluation during the design phase of a project using many design inputs including costs, layout and size, water availability, energy consumption, energy efficiency, ambient conditions, seasons and weather and others, depending on the project.

Annual changes in local water and air temperatures have the greatest impact on the efficiency of the cooling system. System efficiency is a function of the costs of the energy and resource input required to operate the system, relative to the amount of cooling achieved. Electricity is used to run fans and pumps, and other expenses incurred include water costs as well as regulatory costs and fines.
