Linpac invests £320,000 (US$409,911) in an outside chill plant at its West Yorkshire headquarters to bring its UK cooling system in line with the European standards of Linpac Group.
The new system, which replaces three existing evaporating cooling towers at the site, will run at a low ambient temperature for optimum energy efficiency and completely removes the risk of legionella bacteria formation on site.
“The investment will have a positive environmental impact, with estimated energy savings of up to 26,000 tons of water and over £120,000 in power per year,” says UK engineering manager Nathan Oades.
“And importantly it eliminates the potential health risks associated with vapor emitting systems.”
