Duvel Coolroom
Premium beverage storage maintaining exact temperatures in Shanghai.
The Duvel facility in Shanghai required impeccable temperature stability for their premium imported beers. The switch to Engas provided not only the required stability but also reduced their carbon footprint, aligning with global corporate sustainability goals. The coolroom conversion demonstrated that hydrocarbon refrigerants can deliver the precision temperature control demanded by premium beverage storage applications.
The Challenge
Prior to the conversion, the existing HVAC infrastructure was reliant on man-made chemical refrigerants that were not only environmentally damaging but also inherently inefficient. The high operating pressures caused significant wear and tear on the compressors, leading to increased maintenance costs and frequent downtime.
The Engas Solution
Our engineering team conducted a thorough assessment and recommended a direct drop-in replacement using Engas hydrocarbon blends. The retrofit process was completed seamlessly without the need for extensive hardware replacements. Safety protocols in accordance with AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 60079.1.10 & AS/NZS 5149.1-4 were strictly followed throughout the implementation.
Key Outcomes:
- Precision temperature stability achieved for premium beverage storage.
- Reduced carbon footprint aligned with global corporate sustainability goals.
- Reliable performance under demanding Shanghai climate conditions.
- Seamless coolroom conversion with zero product loss during transition.
