As a leader in the China slaughterhouse industry, the Tangrenshen Group is a well-known company located in Hunan, a province in central China. In 2008, their new 100,000 ton food processing plant was regarded as a new technical direction for the Tangrenshen Group. Danfoss provided a complete hot-gas defrosting solution for its ammonia refrigeration system that provides the processing plant's cold storage. It was in this project that the first ICF valve stations were installed in China. We are very pleased to report; they are performing today just as well as they did when commissioned in 2009.
Mr. Yang Xinchun, Tangrenshen Group lead refrigeration engineer with greater than 20-year experience in refrigeration system construction & management believes that this project's objectives were very clear; safety & high efficiency. Considering the large amount of ammonia refrigerant used, safety is the utmost concern since the system is installed in downtown Zhuzhou, a very populated city in Hunan province. Conventional manually controlled systems rely heavily on the experience & responsiveness of the operators, therefor safety can't be 100% guaranteed. Manual systems also cost more time and labour to operate, which also factored into Tangrenshen decision process.
