This chilled water is used to optimize the EO/EG production in particular during summer periods when the cooling water is relatively warm. If no cooled water was available, production would have to be stopped, or, even worse, the systems would have to be shut-down.
Steam jet cooling systems can be an extremely environmental-friendly alternative to absorption cooling systems, as they only require water or aqueous solutions instead of chemical cooling agents. Instead of high-value electricity, low-pressure steam (waste steam) can be used for the operation of such systems. For this reason, the operating expenses are extremely low compared to other technological systems.
Steam jet cooling systems are used to cool water or aqueous solutions down to the formation of ice. The structure and function of these systems is simple, and they perform a nearly maintenance-free operation.
Steam jet cooling systems are applied for the generation of cold water in the field of air-conditioning and for product cooling in the food industry, chemical industry, synthetic material and pulp industries and for direct product of e.g. moulding sand, colours and crystal slurry.
