How effective is a cold storage warehouse in terms of energy management and consumption of energy resources, and where do the opportunities lie for conservation?
Realizing that plants differ greatly, e.g., some still in operation were built as long ago as 1890 and were insulated with wood chips and refrigerated with brine circulated through ceiling pipe coils with air/refrigerant temperature differences as low as 2°F (1°C), compared to a plant built today using synthetic insulations and equipped with air units operating with air/refrigerant differential temperatures of sometimes over 20°F (11°C), one might assume the chances for economies would vary by a great extent. The interesting fact is that while the actual kWh savings may indeed differ, the basic principles at work are the same. Each plant may offer, through differences in original design, a unique opportunity not available to the other.
Energy is a management problem, ,but perhaps better stated -- energy is a management opportunity.
