An energy saving heating and
cooling system installed at one of
Nestle’s UK chocolate factories has
scooped a major industry award for
its designer, Star Refrigeration.

Star’s innovative ammonia heat
pump plant at Nestle’s confectionery
production facility in Halifax has
won a prestigious RAC Cooling
Industry Award. The Nestle Halifax
installation took the Industrial and
Commercial Project of the Year title
at the 2010 awards ceremony.

Star’s Neatpump impressed the
judges by demonstrating significant
environmental advantages over
conventional systems. Neatpump
uses groundbreaking technology to
simultaneously deliver chilled glycol
and hot water at 60°C using waste
heat. Featuring a single stage screw
compressor, Neatpump is said to
deliver hot water more efficiently than
a traditional gas fired boiler system.
