Fontedoso SL, El Oso, Spain
Project
The Fontedoso Natural Mineral Water Management Project - part of FONTEDOSO, S.L. - employs a system for the production of hot water for industrial use, absorption cooling and central heating, based on a solar thermal energy collection system in combination with conventional air-conditioning for its offices and open spaces, to save on energy costs.
Task
The client required an energy-efficient method of chilling a closed circuit to 7 °C, in order to cool the moulds on the bottling lines and to air-condition the premises with fan-coil terminal units. YAZAKI water-fired chillers were chosen, thanks to their highly efficient absorption cooling cycle design, which employs an environmentally harmless solution of water and lithium bromide. This is combined with a solar collector area made up of 504 m² of flat collectors. The surfaces where the solar energy collection panels are installed are designed in such a way that they cast a shadow over an area that can be used as a car park.
Solution
Installed units:
- 1 WFC SC10 model
- 1 WFC SC20 model
Area of solar collector field: 504 m²
Technical data of the installed YAZAKI absorption chillers
- 1 YAZAKI Li-Br absorption chillers, type WFC-SC 10
- 1 YAZAKI Li-Br absorption chillers, type WFC-SC 20
- Cooling capacity: 35.2 + 70.3 = 105.5 kW in total
