High-capacity freezing and preservation for fresh and frozen products
Context & Challenge
In Burgos, a major supermarket chain set up a new
logistics center designed to manage both fresh and frozen
products. The challenge was to create a refrigeration system that could
reliably freeze meat, fish, and vegetables, while also
ensuring the long-term preservation of
ice cream and other frozen goods.
The facility required two distinct systems:
-
A glycol chiller with air coolers for the fresh product
storage.
-
A robust CO₂ system for the frozen storage areas.
To guarantee performance and capacity in the frozen section, the installer
requested a solution capable of delivering nearly
400 kW of freezing power in a safe, energy-efficient, and
reliable way.
The Friga-Bohn Solution
Friga-Bohn designed and delivered
four subcritical CO₂ racks, tailored to the needs of the supermarket’s frozen storage. These
racks were condensed through glycol, ensuring stability and efficiency under
demanding conditions.
With a total refrigeration capacity of 382 kW, the racks were
configured to handle the large-scale freezing requirements of the warehouse,
while maintaining regulatory compliance and optimizing energy use.
This solution combined
engineering expertise with adaptability, supporting both the
supermarket’s supply chain and its sustainability objectives.
