Latin America. Mr. Raúl Perea, director of Alfrío, highlighted the importance of obtaining advantages in terms of low maintenance costs, low energy consumption and highly reliable industrial refrigeration systems. Here is the analysis of Eng. Perea:
These are advantages that every user wants to obtain, because it is not only the lowest initial investment, you have to consider the operation and maintenance costs in your new equipment, because these values directly impact the productive costs, and the monthly expenses, if you save on these expenses, it allows you to be even more competitive in the market. So the lowest initial investment doesn't always mean it's the cheapest.
One of the main consumers of energy and spare parts for maintenance in a refrigeration system is the compressor, which is why comparative analyses focus on this component, this is where the great differences between brands and technologies arise. And if it comes to differences, we must talk about the Vilter screw compressors, their technology with a single central rotor and two side stars that make the compression of the gas in a radial way, generating efforts of the same magnitude, but in opposite directions, canceling, allowing a total balance, this brings as a benefit for the user a very low cost of maintenance and a very high level of reliability.
Vilter technology offers its customers a 15-year warranty on rotor bearings, a warranty that is difficult for other technology to offer. In terms of energy consumption, these compressors have precisely adjusted optical servo motors for capacity control and volume ratio, managing to adjust autonomously to the requirements of the process and the environmental conditions that dictate the condensation pressure, optimizing energy consumption. With Vilter compressors you get the best investment decision, and Alfrío, as a strategic partner, which makes a good design, help you save money and time from the beginning.
