Star keeps Brakes chill stores chilly
June 1st 2005

Star Refrigeration has installed two energy efficient plants for the cold and chill stores at Brakes’ new Aylesford DC.

As Brakes’ nominated refrigeration contractor on the new DC, Star designed and installed two systems for the DC’s cold and chill store.

Key criteria was that both plants offered natural refrigerant solutions with safe, reliable and energy efficient operation.

Star designed a direct ammonia refrigeration plant for the cold store and central ammonia plant with a secondary glycol system for the chilled store. As a natural refrigerant, ammonia is environmentally friendly and energy efficient.

Both plants have a computerised control system to optimise efficiency and the control system has a 24- hour monitoring and dial out facility linked to Star’s local service office, allowing remote monitoring by Star.
