Efficient Cooling Solution for Sustainable Manufacturing Process
...to understand
- Turnbull & Scott partnered with a global leader in sustainable specialty materials, focusing on enhancing their paper reel production process through an improved air humidification system.
- The primary objective was to maintain a controlled air temperature of 55°C for optimal humidification conditions. Additionally, the project aimed to utilise the waste condensate, which typically reaches temperatures of up to 85°C, aligning with the client's sustainability goals of efficient energy use and reduced environmental impact.
...to solve
- Our team quickly engineered a bespoke condensate cooler capable of handling 550 litres per hour, cooling the temperature from 85°C to the required 55°C using ambient air—thus avoiding additional energy consumption.
- We integrated this solution with the existing manufacturing setup, connecting it to the humidification system and installing a modulating control system.
- This system intelligently adjusts fan speeds based on the real-time needs of the production process, optimizing energy efficiency and adhering to sustainability objectives.
...to deliver
- Turnbull & Scott successfully delivered a highly efficient cooling solution that not only meets the specific requirements of the paper reel production process but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint.
- By leveraging waste condensate and minimising additional energy inputs, this system demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative and sustainable industrial solutions.
- This project is a testament to our ability to meet complex industrial challenges with precision-engineered, energy-efficient solutions.
