BITZER Launches Ammonia Compressor Packs for Industrial Use
BITZER's new Ammonia Compressor Packs (ACPs) offer a fully assembled, ready-to-use solution for industrial refrigeration, potentially reducing on-site installation complexities. BITZER has introduced its Ammonia Compressor Packs (ACPs) for industrial refrigeration applications. These ACPs offer cooling capacities of up to 3 MW (at –10/35 °C) and are designed for use in ice rinks, warehouses and food industry systems.
Each pack integrates up to three compressors, a motor, oil separator, and oil circuit, with options for an operating unit, economiser, and frequency inverter. Integrated BITZER IQ technology aims for efficient operation based on current conditions, with redundant sensors and proactive regulation intended to enhance system reliability. Notably, the ACPs demonstrate exceptional starting behaviour, requiring approximately half the starting current of a comparable single compressor. Capacity control and parallel compressor connections may optimise efficiency, particularly at part load.
The ACPs are available in a capacity range of 200 to 4,500 kW. Connecting several BITZER screw compressors and their intelligent capacity control in parallel ensures high efficiency, especially in part load, and offers higher operating reliability than single compressors in the same capacity class. Their sophisticated mechanical construction makes the ACPs exceptionally service-friendly. Application limits can be monitored with the aid of alarm and shut-off thresholds, as well as operating parameters, to ensure maximum reliability. The moment the alarm threshold is exceeded, the operating unit automatically initiates countermeasures and sends a message to the master control system. The units can be installed quickly and easily on-site.
