Examples of applications: biogas production for cogeneration plants.
Chillers for Biogas Plants
A further use of chillers/chillers is in biogas plants: a gas mixture, derived from organic substances and highly energetic and ‘green’. The role of the chiller is to cool the biogas before it enters the cogeneration engine. Reliability and safety are the pluses that chillers must guarantee.
Main requirements: reliability, security and continuity of work 24 / 365 days a year.
Chillers for biogas plants: at a glance
Let us look in detail at how chillers for biogas plants work, starting with the general operation of this type of energy source.
Anaerobic digestion is a complex biological process in which, in the absence of oxygen, organic matter is converted into biogas, a renewable and sustainable energy source.
There are specific players that build turnkey biogas plants and companies that provide the cogeneration and biogas treatment package.
The biogas needs to be cooled down to around 5° C: it is in this context, and before it enters the cogeneration engine, that the cooling chiller comes into play, which is used to dehumidify and cool the biogas. As these are aggressive environments, the cooling systems must be safe, robust and ensure smooth operation with little need for maintenance, as the process is continuous 24 hours a day.

Turnkey Refrigeration Plants
A refrigeration system is more than a single chiller: heat exchangers, hydraulic connections, additional cooling devices also come into play to support your production process.
Air-Cooled Liquid Chillers
Temperature fluido in uscita da +1° a +30° CIn air-cooled liquid chillers, the cooling of the refrigerant gas is ensured by the ambient air itself. Frigofluid offers a wide range of this type of industrial chiller in its catalogue, including a solution with free-cooling.
Water-Cooled Liquid Chillers
Fluid outlet temperatures -8°C to +20° CCooling the refrigerant gas by means of a water exchanger: this is what characterises the water-cooled chillers, which use this feature to ensure high system efficiency. Frigofluid water chillers, with output temperatures down to -8° C, are ideal when air movement is not possible.
Industrial Dry Coolers and Adiabatic Dry Coolers
Industrial dry coolers are a useful solution where fluid outlet temperatures no lower than the external temperature are required. Adiabatic dry coolers are a version of these industrial coolers that can offer outlet fluid temperatures lower than the external temperature.
Industrial Thermoregulation Units
Water control temperatures from +90° to +140° CIndustrial termoregulation units manufactured by Frigofluid are designed to condition moulds and cylinders in various industrial processes. In plastic moulding, process fluids are kept at temperature, thus reducing the use of electrical power for heating and limiting the cooling power spent on cooling by self-stabilisation.
Remanufactured chillers for immediate delivery
Remanufacturing is a 'hot topic' in industrial production, especially in times of resource rationalisation: Frigofluid can supply its customers with remanufactured chillers. A totally sustainable solution.
Low-Temperature Industrial Chiller for a Biogas Player
The biomass sector is one of the most interesting for its implications related to energy recovery: Frigofluid supplied an industrial chiller to an international broker, with final installation in Colombia.
