Abstract

The survey comprises energy testing and literature studies. Results show that considerable energy savings can be achieved if milk cooling systems are inspected or rebuilt. Inspections of milk cooling systems (zero adjusting) have shown that average savings amount to 10.5%. The savings will thus amount 1.15 DKr. per kWh saved. for a system, A, 4% savings corresponding to savings of 35.50 DKr. per kWh saved were achieved when rebuilding the milk cooling system into a parallel connected system. Likewise, 20% savings were achieved for a system, B, when moving the condensator, corresponding to savings of 8.10 DKr. per saved kWh. It is concluded that electricity savings can be achieved when inspections and rebuilding of milk cooling systems are made, but the profitability can be poor. Further surveys are needed to procure a reliable numerical basis for saving potentials and for the development of standard solutions for renovation of milk cooling systems with reference to improving the economics. Results also show that in connection with comparative studies of milk-cooling systems it is very important to adjust for temperature changes in areas where milk cooling systems are operating. Special attention should be given to the development of low-cost methods for removal of  More>>

Special attention should be given to the development of low-cost methods for removal of milk cooling system condensators. Storing inexpensive nocturnally produced electricity seems to allow development of new milk cooling systems. When purchasing a milk cooling system one should consult test reports etc. for documentation of its energy consumption. (AB) (10 refs.)}
