Improving thermal energy efficiency in a Norwegian dairy utilising integrated CO2 refrigeration systems: performance data and energy efficiency improvement possibilities
Dairies are considered very energy intensive due to the high demand for thermal energy at different temperature levels. This study investigates the thermal energy demand of the largest organic dairy in central Norway, which utilises a fully integrated CO2 refrigeration system to cover their cooling and hot water demand and an electric steam boiler for pasteurisation, sterilisation and cleaning in place (CIP). The specific energy flows of 2024 were analysed monthly and thermal demand profiles created. The specific energy consumptions were found to be between 27.5 Wh/l to 43.0 Wh/l for cooling and 34.3 Wh/l and 48.4 Wh/l for hot water heating. The electric steam boiler accounted for 36.4% of the plant’s electricity consumption in 2024. Therewith, the study aims to present real world data of the (thermal) energy consumption of a dairy and thereby lay ground for further system developments, which are conceptualised in this paper.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
