A portion of caution

Energy saving does not need to be expensive. Up to 20 % can be cut in many refrigeration plants through actions that require little or no investment. The actions should be focused on good housekeeping, maintenance, and control.

Housekeeping rules

Remember to read the 'green print'! 

• Printing company with a robust eco-philosophy reeps benefits in Nordic market
• Natural inks, oils and recycled paper are a key part of the green printing approach

AS Ecoprint is an Estonian printing service company offering graphic design, offset printing and wide-format digital printing services. It was founded in 2007 as a merger of three printing and graphic design companies. Ecoprint’s clients are mainly companies and organisations in the Estonian and Scandinavian markets.

Multiple actions, one goal... save energy!

Leaning towards clever cleaning  

Great recovery!

• Making the case for investing in chillers with heat recovery potential
• Payback can be as fast as two years

Refrigeration systems cannot make heat disappear – they just move it from one place to another. It is possible to recover some or all of this heat for useful heating of air or water.

The refrigeration process includes a heat rejection stage to cool the refrigerant for reuse in the cycle. The heat is given up at the condenser and can be recovered and re-used.

Spotting the solar trend

• German brewery seemlessly integrates solar into its energy mix
• 155 m2 solar thermal system produces 400 MWh a year

To help offset growing energy costs and improve its environmental credentials, Hutt Brewery in Kassel, Germany integrated a solar heat system for the brewing process which began operation in May 2010. The solar thermal system consists of 155 m2 flat-plate collectors which generate part of the thermal energy required for supplying hot water to a maximum of 90° C.
