Annex no.1 to the Contract CM-108-03

 

EQUIPMENT FOR MUST COOLING AND

CONTROL OF FERMENTATION TEMPERATURE

 

- N1 REFRIGERATING PLANT FOR COOLING OF GLYCOL (REFRIGERATING SOLUTION), CONSISTING OF:

 

Two semi-hermetic compressors of alternating type and cylinders with suction and delivery valve of disc type.

 

Separation is performed by means of solenoid valve, which prevents the inflow of gas to the suction valve.

 

Forced lubrication is performed by means of reversible gear pump.

 

Oil heater is automatically connected with external lower part of compressor in order to prevent dilution of oil by refrigerating fluid and to maintain the required fluidity of oil.

 

Electric motor is protected against over-heating by means of thermoresistors located in three phases of the stator windings.

 

Two condenser batteries of stack type made of copper tubes.

 

In order to achieve the maximal efficiency, tubes with inside threads are located with projections and mechanical expansions towards aluminum fins of turbulent type. In each stack one side also performs correspondent overcooling of refrigerating fluid allowing to increase cooling capacity without increase in consumed power.

 

Fans of helical type mounted on extensions with aerodynamic profile, having low transmission speed for maximal static efficiency, minimal level of noise and vibrations.

 

Fans are protected by strong wire mesh. Direct connection to electric motor eliminates any transmission problems and decreases vibration caused by the fan operation. Three-phase, squirrel-cage motors are made completely from aluminum with IP 55 protection (insulation class—Fe) and equipped with thermoresistors for protection against over-loading.

 

One evaporator of direct expansion with refrigerating agent inside copper tubes and glycol from external side (from jacket side). Evaporator is made with two independent loops.

 

Evaporator is made with jacketing from carbon steel and with straight copper tubes of increased efficiency (tubes with inside threads).

 

They are attached by means of flaring to the tubular plate also made from carbon steel.

 

Membranes are made from polypropylene to avoid corrosion.

 

In order to facilitate the removal of air and water from the evaporator, it is equipped with two cocks—one for cleaning (air) and one for drain (water)—located in top and lower parts of jacket, respectively.

 

Two connections—one for each supply pipe from the water side—allow the quick installation of thermoprobes.

 

Evaporator is wrapped by the cable of electric heater controlled by thermostat and insulated by thermal insulating materials with closed cells for protection against ice formation at external temperature up to -28°C.

 

One electric board for voltage supply and control equipped with all necessary devices for start-up and control.

 

All electric parts and controls are located in two separate sections of single board, which is protected against atmospheric impact and is equipped with locking door for safety.

 

Section of electric parts includes:

 

Contactors and fuses for compressors and fans, protective thermomagnetic switches for fans, main switch (knife-blade switch) with system of doors closing and manual opening, transformer for auxiliary circuit and control circuit.

 

Section of controls includes regulator of temperature of cooling water with microprocessor performing the following functions:

 

Password for access to system, which prevents intervention of foreigners.

 


Control of the water temperature.

 

Regulation of given temperature.

 

Device for delay and subsequent start-up of compressors.

 

Control over operation of compressors.

 

Control over switching on and off of the fans.

 

Setting of anti-freezing point with correspondent warning.

 

Start-up resistor/Electric heater against freezing.

 

Main emergency warning devices.

 

Also, microprocessor performs control functions together with automatic devices protecting the main components of a plant, and namely: thermal protection of electric motor windings, control over gas pressure in refrigerating agent and oil, inversion of sequence of start-up and separation of compressors. Besides other features, microprocessor due to operation of clock and date indicator allows to switch on and off the block in accordance with requirements to the plant.
