Process and Industrial Refrigeration

Process cooling fans by ZIEHL-ABEGG: reliable, powerful and future-proof

Fans for process refrigeration, or process cooling, are an essential component in process refrigeration plants. In many industries, there is a constant need to generate industrial refrigeration for process cooling, for example when exothermic processes generate reaction heat which then needs to be expelled. Refrigeration systems and fans for industrial refrigeration are also utilized for cooling a wide range of different products and production processes - for machines, operating materials such as lubricants and hydraulic oil, right through to complete production lines and industrial plants, where the associated processes can only run at constant or low temperatures.

Among other things, process cooling is required for the processing properties or maintaining a high quality of the products, e.g. for products or packaging materials made of all types of films and plastics.

Other processes require process cooling fans for cooling gaseous substances and condensing specific components. There are also numerous applications for cooling and refrigeration systems in the food sector, requiring powerful, reliable fans for process refrigeration or process cooling to transport the air.

What is the key to industrial refrigeration fans?

As with complete cooling systems, individual components must also be reliable. Plants providing industrial refrigeration for process cooling generally operate in harsh conditions. They cannot afford to become weakened or susceptible to error, because they are doing extremely important work critical to success. This is why stability, safety, and absolute reliability are also vital for fans used in process refrigeration - especially in processes that would not be possible without the appropriate cooling capacity.

Our fans are robustly designed, powerful, fail-safe and score with economical, energy-saving, particularly quiet and maintenance-free operation.

Explosion-proof fans for process cooling (Ex-fans) and chemically resistant products can also be found in our product range.

This field of application is strongly project-related. The fan requirements depend as much on the type and location of the refrigeration system, as on the industry, process, and product. Our range of products includes a variety of tried and tested, innovative fans and drives, which can be adapted precisely to fit your machines and plants, and can be easily integrated and retrofitted into existing systems. The classic fans used in process and industrial refrigeration are axial fans designed for specific projects. However, ZIEHL-ABEGG's product portfolio is as versatile as the application area itself: It ranges from small diameters, typically with AC motors, to highly efficient ZAplus fans with modern EC motors, to large MAXvent models with impeller diameters of up to 1,400 mm. Our explosion-proof fans are ATEX 2014/34/EU compliant and suitable for use in zones 1 and 2, additionally, the MAXvent series also suitable for zones 21/22.

Even in terms of noise emissions and sound insulation, our products are cutting-edge - a clear advantage for all applications that not only give importance to maximum performance and durability, but also to user-friendliness based on unbeatable acoustic values.

Process cooling fans - standards, current guidelines and future challenges

Modern industrial refrigeration systems and fans are designed to meet a range of requirements relating to energy efficiency, operational reliability, noise levels and cost-effectiveness. In addition, site-specific and application-specific legal and regulatory requirements must be taken into account. Forward-looking system planning can help facilitate compliance with future requirements and the integration of new technologies.
 
In refrigeration and process cooling applications, energy efficiency requirements and the use of refrigerants with lower greenhouse gas potential are among the key considerations. Relevant framework conditions arise, for example, from the EcoDesign Directive (ErP) and the applicable regulations governing fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases). These requirements continue to evolve and should be considered when designing and modernising systems.

The Ecodesign Directive

For process cooling applications, ZIEHL-ABEGG offers fans as well as complementary components such as drives and frequency inverters. The products are developed in accordance with the applicable requirements and standards. We are pleased to provide information on product-specific characteristics and the relevant regulatory requirements.
