The Frost-Free Airlock-Vestibule

The company has recently signed the following new projects:

• One gel-ice system to be installed onboard a factory trawler from Iceland in Lithuania

• One gel-ice system to be installed onboard a factory trawler from the Faroe Islands in China

• Several Frost-Free Airlocks to be installed in Namibia, Portugal and Spain

• Two chiller systems to be installed in Senegal

• One food logistics centre/supermarket chain/refrigeration equipment installation in Asturias, Spain

• One refrigeration equipment and air conditioning installation for a new tuna vessel in Bilbao, Spain

• One cold-room/processing room for the food industry in Cádiz, Spain

The Frost-Free Airlock-Vestibule is used to avoid frost in the chill rooms, thus preventing humidity from the inner air in the chamber from fixing on the cool parts, avoiding ice on the installation.

The door can save up to 40% power and prevents fungus forming on the product.

Kinarca has described the benefits of the system as:

• Prevents frost formation inside cold storage

• Improves product quality

• Avoids fog in the cold storage

• Refrigerated anteroom is not required

• Improved refrigeration system performance

• Increased safety in the workplace

• Increased productivity

• Reduced maintenance costs

• Prevents clogging evaporators and eliminated fan blade problems
