Evaporative Air Cooling for Premier Foods

Premier Foods Bury St Edmunds has installed 5 more EcoCooling evaporative coolers to cool their sauce preparation area. This brings the total number of coolers installed to 75, which represents the largest single evaporative cooling installation in the UK
The units sited on the roof produce 15 air changes per hour of cooled fresh air which is ducted into the area by insulated stainless steel ducting to achieve spot cooling for personnel operating the various work stations. Up to 35kw of cooling is achieved from just 1.5 kw input of electricity at a cost of approximately 10p per hour per cooler giving an internal working temperature of 22C adjacent to the units.

A constant internal environment is maintained by using temperature systems connected to the coolers and a sophisticated control process – standard to all EcoCooling units allows internal conditions to be carefully monitored and controlled.
Because the area is used for food preparation, the project is designed to produce 15 air changes per hour thus allowing the air pressure to be positive within the building. Extraction is through 2 massive carbon filtration units to eliminate smells from the area.

Premier Foods are delighted with their installation with is not only environmentally friendly, effective and efficient but also a fraction of the cost of a conventional refrigeration based system.
