The Waterloop Refrigeration System is an innovative solution that offers high energy efficiency, cost savings and a lower environmental impact. It uses a water condensation process and is ideal for commercial installations that want to optimise temperature control and reduce energy consumption.
What is the Waterloop Cooling System?
Firstly, it’s important to clarify that ‘Waterloop’ refers to a specific type of condensation used in refrigeration equipment. In essence, it is a system that uses water to condense saturated gas. In this process, the heat from the gas is transferred to the air via a heat exchanger, allowing the equipment to work efficiently. In short, the term ‘Waterloop’ refers to a refrigeration system that uses water for condensation.
With the current environmental awareness, the demand for energy efficiency has been increasing, and one of the existing solutions is the Waterloop system. Since it uses water-cooled heat exchangers instead of an air-cooled condenser, it offers a more effective approach to thermal management.
How does the Waterloop Cooling System work?
In the waterloop system, the condensing unit is replaced by a plate heat exchanger. This exchanger has two separate circuits that exchange heat. The gas circuit comes in hot and is cooled by cold water mixed with glycol. After cooling, the heated water goes to the drycooler, located at the top of the installation, where it releases the heat to the outside environment. The cooled water then returns to all the units, completing the cycle.
Waterloop System Models and Versions at FRICON
There are currently several models of equipment compatible with the Waterloop system:
Main Advantages of the Waterloop Cooling System
The main advantages of the Waterloop system include:
- Less heat is emitted into the retail establishment, thus reducing air conditioning consumption. This advantage becomes evident in the warmer seasons and in smaller shops;
- Reusing heat to heat sanitary water;
- Consumption reduction considering all air conditioning systems (HVAC, refrigeration/freezing units);
- Eco-friendly system that uses water as a cooling agent to significantly reduce energy consumption and minimise the impact on the environment. A sustainable choice!
- Intelligent, personalised adaptation for your point of sale to give you total control over the refrigeration environment. This system is designed to adapt to your real needs.
Applications of the Waterloop System in Commerce
It is possible to install this system in any shop, as long as all the installation for this type of system is carried out. It is easier to implement if it is considered from the outset when developing the shop’s design.
By adopting this innovative approach, organisations can not only achieve economic benefits, but also play a crucial role in preserving the environment. As environmental awareness becomes a reality, the Waterloop refrigeration system stands out as a responsible and progressive choice in the field of refrigeration in a commercial context.
If you’re looking for a solution that combines energy-efficient refrigeration with sustainability, the Waterloop system is the ideal choice for your business.
