Maintenance of Cooling Installations
Faseco understands that cooling installations are vital to the successful operations of most manufacturing, commercial, hospitality companies as well as such service providers like airports and public buildings. These cooling installations are in the form of Chillers, Cooling towers, condensers and blast freezers. Energy to power these installations constitute a significant portion of energy spend of these organizations.
It is thus imperative to closely monitor and control this cost for desired low cost operations.
Based on adequate subject knowledge, skills and expertise gained in the course of paid employment, our engineers are adequately equipped to help organizations reduce this cost by offering the following services:
- Energy audit of the cooling plant or installations
- Skillfully adjusting the burner to settings that will ensure adequate Air/Fuel ratio necessary for complete combustion. This reduces fuel consumed, eliminates emission of heavy black soot/smoke (unburnt fuel) into the atmosphere thus avoiding environmental pollution, as well as reducing heat transfer inhibiting sooth deposits which ultimately reduces boiler heat transfer efficiency leading to higher than necessary fuel consumption.
- Tracking and ensuring that each piece of equipment or component of the cooling system is functioning at optimal efficiency levels as measured by optimal values of the right parameters. For example condensers and compressors operating with the right pressures and temperatures. This will necessitate some intervention to identify and analyze possible problems and taking corrective actions either through emergency or planned shut down maintenance
- Maintenance of your cooling plant on a contract basis to ensure the plant is always in the best and safe operating conditions. Contract could be structured to handle either periodic preventive maintenance or breakdown or emergency call maintenance or both
- On call service with one of our engineers being available to attend to any emergency 24/7 to ensure non or minimal interruption of operations or production with attendant costs benefits to the organization
- Training of your operational staff to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to professionally operate the cooling installation in a safe and efficient manner
Our senior engineers have been Utilities as well as Chief Engineers in the Nigerian Breweries Family where they had responsibilities for the operation and maintenance of the huge cooling installation in the brewery that accounts for more than 50% of total energy consumption of the brewery. We therefore understand the operational problems in a typical cooling installation and are eminently equipped to address them.
