HVAC Case Study
Kelloggs

Challenge

The extremely hot and dry climate of the Kellogg’s food processing plant in Mexicali, Mexico provided a cooling and energy consumption challenge many companies face – how to keep their buildings cool without continuing to spend tremendous amounts of money. Specifically, the challenge was to keep Kellogg’s compressor room at 30°C (86°F), while ambient conditions reach as high as 50°C (120°F). The application – a processing plant at sea level elevation, was determined to need 50 tons of cooling. If Kellogg’s opted to cool with traditional methods, they would consume roughly 60kW during peak cooling conditions.

Solution

To accomplish their goals, the company chose Coolerado to provide energy efficient cooling in its Mexicali, Mexico, manufacturing plant. As the most efficient air conditioner made, Coolerado’s technology is scalable, to meet the customer’s cooling needs with ease and simplicity. For Kellogg’s this meant they could accomplish their application requirements and save money. The Coolerado system will only use 7.1kW during peak power conditions, whereas a traditional system would consume as much as 60kW – equating to an energy reduction of 88%. In terms of a direct dollar save due to the large energy reduction, the Coolerado system will save over $62,000 annually.
