refrigeration engineering cost comparison - cold room engineering option, Hong Kong
Summary of focus
  • The cooking of cold room prices is a net chrome, and the temperature, thermal insulation specifications, refrigeration configuration and site conditions make it far cheaper.
  • The refrigeration system has a variety of configurations: one or sub-organic, fixed-frequency or variable frequency, single-air or multi-channel and is cost-effective.
  • refrigerant chooses to consider efficiency, GWP, security and local regulations simultaneously.
  • The ICP should take into account the total cost of aluminium: engineering fees, electricity, maintenance and repairs, and a net baccalaureate.
  • Old cold room must be rebuilt and can be checked before deciding on maintenance, switching machines and reshaping for new construction.

Foreword: refrigeration engineering offers are far away?

After several interviews with refrigeration engineering companies, many guests felt curious: the same size ⁇ cold room could be cut off. The reason is simple, and the specifications are reported to be fundamentally identical. Insulated panels are thick, with ⁇ refrigeration unit, with a bagged floor, packaged electricity and temperature record, each affecting cold room price.

An article will be refrigeration ' s engineering fee-for-collection, consisting of the refrigeration engineer ' s champion from the perspective of the refrigeration system, then comparing with the programme ' s access to help you get up to the most suitable for their own business, cold room works. For information on the impact of the thickness point of the insulated panels ' materials, reference can be madeFinal Guide for the Selection of Productive Costs in Hong Kong。

Critical factor affecting refrigeration engineering fee petty

1. Availability

The greater the cold room, the more used by the insulated panels and the higher demand for refrigeration. However, the price earners would be completely positive in the same area. Severe cold room refrigeration unit, cold room door and electricity co-workers are fixed costs, so the cost of amortized cold room is usually higher.

2. Target temperature

The lower the temperature, the higher the thickness of the insulated panels and the higher the refrigeration unit requirements. The cost of freezer room will be significantly higher than chilled, as floor protections and door box heating with plumbing.

3. Daily intake and cargo temperature

If there is a large volume of goods entering the bank every day, or when the goods are entered into the bank at relatively high temperatures (e.g. chicken food), the amount of refrigeration will be large.

4. Frequency of openings

The greater the number of openings, the more air and wet air brought into chicken heat, and the number of refrigeration load homogenized plutonium increased. Frequent access refrigerated warehouses may need to be considered for rapid gates.

5. refrigeration unit position with length of track

The distance from cold room, the longer the refrigerant pipeline, the higher the cost of co-working and the likely impact of refrigeration efficiency.

6. Electricity supply

If the existing power dam is sufficient, it may be necessary to increase the supply of electricity and part of the cost of the lithium is pre-contained at the same time.

7. Premises with construction conditions

Additional costs will be incurred for building up units, palliatives, hairdressing, baccalaureate work only at specified time and the need to dismantle old cold room.

Frequency machines are multi-powered, with a fixed percentage depending on the cold room usage model. The assessment should be based on actual load, use time and electricity.

Single vs multimedia and online

Large cold room or refrigerated warehouses can be a large turbine or plating multiple machines and connect:

  • Single machine: The initial cost is lower than the occupancy space, but once the failure has been made, it will be closed in a cold room.
  • Multimodal and onlineOther refrigeration unit can still maintain basic temperatures at the time of a failure. The load may also be limited to some refrigeration unit at a low time. Shortcomings are high in initial costs, and the system is more complex.

If cold room stores high-value goods, such as medicines or a large amount of unfrozen meat, the loss of crash may be much higher than the cost of loaded sets. In the winter, refrigeration was worth considering.

refrigerant?

⁇ refrigerant takes into account four types of plutonium: applying temperature, energy efficiency, global heating potential (GWP) and safety classifications.

refrigerantGWP (Ref. IPCC AR4)Security classification (ASHRAE 34)Special characteristics
R404AApproximately 3,922A1 (low, non-flammable)Traditional commercial refrigeration, GWP high and industry is moving towards alternatives
R448A/R449A1,390–1,400A1Common ⁇ R404A Alternative, GWP lower
R134aApproximately 1,430A1More for medium- and high-temperature cooling
R290 (propane)Approximately 3A3 (high flammability)GWP is extremely low and efficient, but there are strict security requirements for the load with installation
R744(CO₂)1A1Natural refrigerant, system pressure very high and need special design
R717 ( ⁇ )0B2L (toxic, micro-fired)Large-scale industrial refrigeration, toxic and required strict security management
⁇ Natural refrigerant nickel is tantamount to spoil. R290 is flammable, poisoned, and the CO2 system pressure is high and all three need suitable co-qualified personnel for cloud design. Hong Kong has regulated related substances through the Regulations for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and is following the Kigali Amendment to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The most recent request is made for publication by the Environmental Protection Agency.

(b) New construction, modification, replacement and relocation sites?

Consideration of second-hand equipmentCareful assessmentInformation on age, refrigerant type, spare parts supply and maintenance record

When the old cold room arises, it may be arranged first.Cold Room RepairsInspections, reasons for redefining the programme.

Total cost-comparability comparison programme

The cold room, which normally operates 24 hours and is used for many years, should have a net chicken engineering fee at the time of the comparing programme while taking into account the total cost of clouds:

Total cost = Engineering + (annual electricity + annual maintenance + projected maintenance)

approximate price estimates?

Electricity per year ⁇ refrigeration unit averaged electricity consumption (kW) per day 365 days

The following is a purely model example. Assuming an average daily equivalent of 16 hours per electricity price at HK$1.5, cold room (actually based on the use of your appliance bill):

refrigeration unit average electricity consumptionElectricity consumption per yearElectricity costs per year (demonstration)
3 kW17,520 degreesApproximately HK$26,280
2.5 kW14,600 degreesApproximately HK$21,900
Gap 0.5 kW2,920 degreesAnnual difference of approximately HK$4,380

The above table can be reached: electricity consumption is low by 0.5 kW, with annual electricity costs of thousands of mosquito nets and 10 years of less than tens of millions of mosquitoes. As a result, thermal insulation is good, refrigerant is well-coupled and regularly maintained, and can be reduced over the long term.

The above electricity prices are based on the assumption that a model calculation method is used to represent any actual charge or refrigeration unit performance.

Common issues

The probability of cold room prices?

Cold room price is comprised of ininsulation work, cold room gate, refrigeration system, electricity and control, drainage, temperature monitoring, construction transport and testing receipts, influenced by size, temperature, thermal insulation specifications, refrigeration congenital conditions, which are generally open to accurate bids.

A single refrigerator homogeneous refrigerator site?

(a) The installation of a single machine is simpler and suitable for a detailed chilled room withwalk-in cold room, but thermal platoon will be near; The sub-computers will outdoor the cold concreterigeration unit, with a better heat and more flexible mix suitable for most commercialcold room and refrigerated warehouses.

Would the VHF refrigerator be electricityed?

In the event of frequent changes in loads and long periods of load, transfrequency machines are usually higher than provincial electricity and temperature is more stable; However, the initial costs are high and the actual cost is assessed according to the mode of use.

cold room refrigerant point?

The application of temperature, efficiency, GWP, security classifications and local regulations should be considered. Traditional R404A ⁇ GWP is high and industry is switching to alternatives such as R448A, R449A; R290 is very low with natural refrigerant GWP, such as CO2, but security requirements such as flammable and high pressure, respectively.

Old cold room should be repaired and re-engineered?

If the insulated panels are in good condition, only refrigeration unit is ageing and only replacement machines may be considered; If the insulated panels are subject to tide or floor-frozen inflation, they may be rebuilt. Inspections should be carried out and longer-term costs should be compared.

Summary

refrigeration engineering price earns a standard answer. The same size cold room can be distant because of temperature, thermal insulation, refrigerant ' s co-location conditions. The plutonium programme should be preceded by a clear understanding of its own needs, a comparison of the price specifications on a case-by-case basis and an assessment using a general cost perspective, while the chrome is the worst.
