Introduction to SRS
technique of indirect cooling and freezing systems:
Whilst SRS (Secondary Refrigerant System) is not a
new concept in refrigeration engineering, the
industry is facing the challenge of phasing out the
use of HFC volatile refrigerant gases in search of
more efficient methods of reducing the adverse
environmental effects of synthetic refrigerants.
The results of this are proving that the economics
in terms of reduced energy usage and plant
performance with such engineering is based on a
combination of the efficiencies of all parts which
is determined by compressors, coils, heat transfer
fluids as well as valves, pumps, piping, insulation
and other parts of the system and the design concept
by which it is all brought together.
Reliable systems are dependant on simplicity and the
SRS systems are designed to achieve this by
utilising quality components, high performance
natural primary refrigerants, the most efficient
heat transfer fluids and AIA coils.
The SRS Frigadon chillers are designed and
engineered for the Care 45 natural refrigerant
within the primary circuit thus totally removing the
dependency upon the conventional HFC refrigerant
gases such as R404A.
The proven performance of such system engineering
has given the industry further confidence, thus
paving the way for more food processors and food
distributors to consider installing these economic
and environmentally friendly refrigeration systems.
The increased application of this technology will
bring with it many technical and safety issues, and
therefore in the interest of the industry, SRS
Components with its new training facility at Warwick
will make available as much technical and safety
information as possible.
