Climaveneta UK (formerly
Walter Meier) has supplied
three 600kW air-cooled
chillers for use in process
cooling at the Heinz facility
in Kendal, helping improve
energy efficiency.

The full turnkey service
included installation of the
chillers and new ancillary
plant, as well as removal of
old chillers and cooling
towers. Climaveneta says that
changing to air-cooled
chillers will help reduce the
environmental impact
associated with chemical
water treatment and result in
lower maintenance costs.
“Given the age of the plant
and our increased demand it
was clear that we needed to
install new chillers,” says site
maintenance manager John
Whittaker. “At the same time
it was essential to avoid
disrupting production so the
project management aspect
was very important.”
The new chillers are
mounted on a specially
constructed outdoor concrete
plinth and Climaveneta also
supplied new primary and
secondary pumps and a new
pressurisation unit.
