To meet the growing demand of the fishing and processing industry for more effective ways to cool down process water, Frostmark’s design team went back to the drawing board to see if they could come up with a solution that answered the market’s demand.
The result is a new cooling system that can cool seawater down to -2°C and freshwater to 0.3°C with a stability few can achieve, says Frostmark. This result is obtained firstly by a new control system - designed by Frostmark’s technicians in cooperation with the Scottish based company Resource Data Management - that measures and controls the harmony between pressure and temperature with accuracy never seen before. Secondly, by using custom made evaporator that can better withstand these low temperatures.
Research has shown that it is paramount for the quality of the catch that cooling start as soon as possible after it enters the ship, and that the cooling chain newer breaks, from the fishing vessel to the consumer.
For processing plants, great benefits are to be achieved by increasing the shelf live of the product, and transport costs can be lowered by shipping, instead of using air freight.
Frostmark’s new water cooling system is an important link in this chain as cooling can start as soon as the fish enters the ship. Another added benefit is that the system’s energy consumption is lower than seen before.
