Energy audits can spot potential waste and provide short-term fixes, but a refrigeration energy management system can keep temperatures and costs cool.
Most processing plants have energy losses in many areas. Obvious loss vectors include leaky water lines, hotter-than-necessary water, leaky air lines, steam traps, inefficient boilers and/or heat going up the stack; lighting, inefficient motors, equipment left running and doing nothing; and refrigeration inefficiencies. Not-so-obvious losses include climate control imbalances, leaky building insulation, uninsulated refrigeration lines, thermal leaks on ovens, motors overheating due to bad bearings, etc.
