Abstract
At the request of Mueller Europa BV (the Netherlands) the Fre-Heater D heat-pump system was tested for its suitability for the simultaneous cooling of milk and the heating of water on farms. The main purpose of the test was to provide information about the technical properties of the system and about the possibilities it offers for the saving of energy. The test was carried out according to the directives laid down in the 'Beproevingsmethode voor warmtepompsystemen ten behoeve van het verwarmen van water op de boerderij' (Test method for heat-pump systems for the heating of water on farms), issued by the Netherlands Institute for Dairy Research, 1980. The results obtained in the tests were used for the calculation of the savings of energy. The system was compared with a conventional air-cooled refrigerated farm milk tank with a COPR (coefficient of performance of refrigeration) of 2.5. The Fre-Heater D was found to have a COPR of 2.40. The net savings of energy that could be achieved varied from 20.9 to 13.8 kWh per m3 cooled 'milk' at farm sizes from 40 to 78 cows. Based on a price of electrical energy of Dfl 0.20 per kWh, this installation was found to
