In a context where energy efficiency and sustainability are increasingly central, companies operating in the food sector are facing major challenges in renewing their plants. This is the case of a major company in the province of Modena, which chose the CAPX<\/strong> evaporative condenser to replace an obsolete 1993 plant. <\/p>\n

Increasing efficiency and adapting to new climate scenarios<\/h2>\n

The client was operating with an 800 kW condenser, which was no longer adequate for current needs, especially in summer, when the actual TBU is now well above the 24\u00b0C predicted by the old design. In addition, energy costs were high and maintenance complicated. <\/p>\n

The CAPX solution<\/h2>\n

W-Tech installed a 1000 kW CAPX<\/strong>, designed to work with TBUs as low as 26\u00b0C, equipped with inverter-controlled electronic axial fans that are automatically managed according to outdoor temperature and condensing pressure.<\/p>\n

Technology and simplified maintenance<\/h2>\n

The innovative design ensures easy access to internal components for maintenance. The structure is made of Magnelis<\/strong>, a corrosion-resistant material capable of working with higher cycles of water concentration, reducing water consumption. <\/p>\n

The concrete results<\/h2>\n

One year later, the results speak for themselves:<\/p>\n
