New cooling tower model with great environmental advantages

/in , /by

During 2020 MITA complemented their PME-model range with a special model developed for extra low sound levels called Silent Plus – in abbreviation SPL.

The idea was born in connection to a Swedish project with extra ordinary sound demands at a pulp mill which needed a special solution beyond MITA’s normal “Silent” options. By oversizing the unit, the required air flow and the pressure loss in the cool pack are decreased thereby allowing use of a smaller motor and at a lower speed level. Another effect is a considerably lower power consumption meaning that

MITA’s model PME Silent Plus provides two environmental advantages: low sound level and low power consumption.

Apart from low speed motor/fan solution and oversizing, the air inlets are closed off in two directions and it can be equipped with splash damping mats in the water basin as well as air inlet silencers.

Since the Swedish project was completed in spring of 2019, MITA have developed the model type further making the Silent Plus available as a standard option for all sizes within the MITA PME model range. And already during 2020, MITA received more than 20 orders for the new SPL-model for international deliveries.

Two Cooling Towers to Steel Foundry

/in , /by

We are glad to recently have shipped two evaporative cooling towers to a steel foundry in the county of Värmland, Sweden. The units will replace two older units being replaced after a larger fire accident at the factory earlier this year.

The project is a clear example of how CAMpreq can take on a requirement even when clear input data is not available from an old plant and equipment not supplied by us originally.

With the help of on site visit, we among other things checked measurements, construction details and cooling pack type of the old units. And with this we could offer a solution with new units that we with great confidence know will have at least as good cooling capacity as the old units.

This was done based on long experience, careful calculations and thorough communication and information exchange with both the customer’s project consultant and our partner MITA’s product specialists.

The two new cooling towers are of model MITA PME 3104 each with 2,5 MW cooling capacity at design point, a cooling water flow of 110 m3/h and each unit equipped with one direct coupled fan/motor with 7,5 kW installed power and with permanently greased bearing.

Cooling Tower Replacement Marieberg

/in , /by

During autumn 2019 CAMpreq,in cooperation with Radiator, replaced two cooling towers which had lived their life time. The plant is owned and operated by E.on in Örebro (central Sweden), where the cooling towers cool three cooling machines that provide district cooling to the nearby industrial area and shopping centre Marieberg.

The two new cooling towers of model MITA PME 7204, each with 3,4 MW cooling capacity at design point at a cooling water flow of 415 m3/h and has two motor/fan groups (cells) per unit.

Both units are specially adapted to existing site conditions for example with the positions of service hatches and cold water outlets. And one unit is also equipped with two shut-off valves from KSB Sweden to allow operation of only one cell at a time when only the smallest cooling machine is in operation.

CAMpreq won the bid as full contractor where the job to disassemble the old cooling towers, adapt steel works, piping and installation and start-up of the new units was handled by  Radiator VVS in Mariestad as sub contractor.

Filter Replacement at Power Plant

/in , /by

After 34 years of operation, we last spring changed a debris filter unit model Taprogge PR-BW 400 to a newer unit with improved design of model Taprogge PR-BW 800. The filter is installerad in a power plant on the Swedish east coast and has been in operation since may.

Taprogge’s model name PR-BW is short for Pressure Relief Back Wash, where a rotating arm attached to an outlet in the centre covers the filter surface. The outlet which is connected down stream of the heat exchanger to be protected, thus creates a pressure drop which automatically sucks off the filter surface with the help of a small partial flow from the filtered water from below.

Function principleThe filter is designed for sea water intake from the Baltic Sea with a normal flow of approximately 3000 m3/h, but can handle up to as much as 8000 m3/h if required. Inlet and outlet flanges DN 1000 total lenth etc. is customized to fit the already existing flange connections. In the supply is also included an automatic differential pressure measuring system, however the client have chosen themselves to handle the controls with their own control cabinet and connection to their DCS which otherwise normally is included by Taprogge.

MITA Days – Sales Conference

/in , /by

On 23-25 September MITA Cooling Technologies held their “MITA Days” sales conference with their European sales representatives in Siziano just south of Milano.

Participants from 10 countries gathered at MITA’s headquarters to get to know each other, hear about the latest news and together perform some joint excersizes to identify areas of joint improvements for the future.

Among other things, we can present the new product PME Silent Plus. The PME-model is the type most popular and commonly used amongst MITA’s product range in Sweden with its very simple design, set-up and with minimal requirement for maintenance.

In the new PME-version Silent Plus, a low speed motor/fan is used which provides very low sound levels in combination with a significantly lower power consumption. The unit will by necessity be slightly larger and more expensive in comparison to a standard unit with the same capacity, however, the energy savings will result in a relatively quick payback time of the slightly higher initial investment.

Other news which are coming up will include new material choice options, an increased and improved model program within the MITA MCT range with its forced draft centrifugal fans, new digitalization options etc.

Mutiple tube cleaning systems retrofit

/in , /by

A project that started as a colledge student’s study later resulted in the supply of four complete Taprogge Tube Cleaning systems for a power station in Stockholm.

The systems are retrofitted on a district cooling plant which has been in operation for a long time, which caused a high deamnd on adapting to the present site conditions and space available.

The plants which is used for district heating during winter time and as district cooling system during the summer months, has been struggling a long time with fouling inside the tubes of their tube heat exchangers and condenser units (1+1 per system). The problem mostly occurs during summer time when the cooling water is brought in from the Baltic Sea.

One system was installed and commissioned in August 2018 to gain experience for the remaining three systems to be installed during spring 2019.

In connection to first start up it was clearly noticed that there was a capacity increase for the system. Commissioning and training was performed by Taprogge’s own specialists from Germany in cooperation with CAMpreq on site in Stockholm.

You can read more about our tube cleaning systems here.

Are you intersted in learning if YOUR plant could be suitable for a retrofit? Or are you about to design a new plant and are worried about the consequences of fouling in the planned tube heat exchangers and/or condenser units? Call us today!

Hybrid heat exchanger started up

/in , /by

In the beginning of 2018 our client took their SPX APV Hybrid S4 Plate Heat exchanger into operation. The delivery was done as early as summer of 2017 to a power plant on the Swedish east coast.

The application is for ehating of bio-oil (220 kW, 76 tons/hr) which is to be pumped through approx. 200 m pipes from the storage tank to the incineration boiler.

APV’s fully welded plate heat exchanger which they call their ”Hybrid” model in effect looks like a tube heat exchanger on one side with up to 7 mm ”diameter” and with a more traditional corrugated shape/design on the other side.

In this application, the high viscous fluid goes through the tube side, whereas the other side has a water/glycol based system (65 tons/hr) which in turn gets its heat from a district heating circuit (19 tons/hr) through a “normal” plate heat exchanger supplied at the same time, being a SPX APV Orion 034 with Energy Saver plates. All media touched parts are in stainless steel AISI 316L material.

The system has no been in operation for several months, and the customer has upon follow up with visit on site confirmed fulfilment of the expected functionality and are happy overall with our delivery and documentation.

An alternativt application area for this hybrid model is where you have a very dirty side which is difficult to keep clean by ordinary mneans of CIP etc. The hybrid unit can very easily be opened up on site and efficiently cleaned by means of a high pressure cleaner for quick maintenance without need for time consuming disassembly, bringing to work shop etc which would be the case with a normal plate heat exchanger.

You can read more about our products from SPX APV here and the brochure for the hybrid model is available  here.

The customer is more than willing to act as reference for the products supplied and our delivery performance, if interested please contact our responsible sales person Johan for more information!

Four large cooling towers delivered

/in , /by

Close to two years after first site visit and meeting with this client, we have recently delivered four large PME 7204 Super Silent Cooling Towers to a pulp & paper mill in the middle of Sweden.

The customer has prepared a completely new building for positioning of the cooling towers on top of it, with a common cooling water tank inside on the level below. In the same building, the heat exchange towards the process itself is contained. Due to the nature of the process cooling water, client has decided to use and heat exchanger in between to avoid the risk for biological growth and its related hazards.

Installation and start-up with be conducted within the next few weeks after which a test operation period will commence.

Below you will find some pictures from the loading procedure at our partner MITA’s facilities in Siziano just south of Milano. And some pictures from the off-loading procedure on site.
