Shenzhen ChillerOne Co., has announced the successful installation and commissioning of a 100-tonne water-cooled screw chiller system at the Pepsi Cola manufacturing facility in Rosario, Philippines.
This is ChillerOne's Model TPW-350WDH chiller system, operating on 2 Hanbell-brand semi-hermetic screw compressors, with a closed-loop shell-and-tube evaporator.
The newly installed water-cooled screw chiller is fully operational and has been integrated into the factory's PepsiCo beverages production line.
It will increase efficiency and ensure beverage processing quality by maintaining the low temperature requirement between 1°C and 4 °C for CO₂ solubility and attain the required beverage stability.
ChillerOne technical manager, Alex Lee, said installing this chiller was a direct request from the Pepsi Cola factory, as part of the factory's efforts to control temperature during carbonisation, inhibiting microbial growth and controlling pressure due to CO₂, which can deform bottles during packaging.
“After testing and commissioning, we are glad our client can now stabilise production, improve efficiency, and achieve the desired quality of their PepsiCo beverages,” Lee said.
“As a company, we continue to offer innovative chiller solutions, with varying load capacities and energy efficiency to help our clients reduce production costs."
The Model TPW-350WDH chiller systems use R407C refrigerant, and can achieve operating energy efficiency (EER) of up to ~4.4–4.8 W/W with high part-load efficiency.
It has a glycol-chilled water temperature system and a waterproof design for outdoor installation.
Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI) has more than seven bottling facilities across the country and remains the second largest bottler by market share in the Philippines.
Founded in 2007, ChillerOne is a Chinese manufacturer industry-specific chiller systems, from AI Data Centre chillers, MRI, and beverages to plastic processing.
