Budweiser is Now Experiencing All The Benefits of The Danfoss ICF Valve Station

The application of the ICF Valve Station has effectively shortend the manufacturing time of the project for Budweiser in their Ziyang factory in China. Furthermore, the ICF Valve Station has helped to ensure the stability and easy maintenance of the refrigeration installation. In addition, this solution helps to achieve remarkable savings.

According to the calculated data, the installed 178 Danfoss ICF Valve Stations can help Budweiser Ziyang factory to achieve more than 50% cost savings in valve installation and more than 30% cost savings in valve maintenance and operation costs.

As the first production base of Budweiser in southwest area, the Ziyang factory in China Sichuan province reflects a strategic significance in the Chinese domestic market by Budweiser Group. In order to keep pace with the commissioning plan and the coming global aboard conference in the new base, the construction period of the whole fermentation area refrigeration system cannot be more than 4 months.

In this project, Danfoss ICF Valve Station solution showed its extraordinary effect. Compared to the traditional design of the industrial valve components, ICF Valve Station reduces a lot of welds and since no disassembly is needed during welding, significant time savings are achieved. The Thick Layer Passivation (TLP) surface treatment makes the ICF a very suitable for the environment around the beer tank where changing levels of humidity and air
temperatures occur due to constant frost build up, etc.

Besides the installation of the ICF solution in fermentation area, a series of Danfoss Industrial Refrigeration components have also been installed in deoxidization, hops storage and icy water control systems. Based on the advanced technology and reliable production, Danfoss helps our client achieving significant savings in this project.

The more than 15,000 ICF Valve Stations installed worldwide help our clients to save installation space and maintenance time - increasing the overall working efficiency. The ICF is designed and tested to withstand a maximum working pressure of up to 52 bar (750 psi) in a media temperature range of –60/+120°C (–76/+248°F), making the ICF suitable for the natural refrigerant CO2 and other future high pressure refrigerants.

At Danfoss we believe that real value comes from time and cost savings and with the ICF Valve Station our customers worldwide have simplified their system designs and saved both time and costs.

Regional sales manager Anning Zhang states:
“The Danfoss ICF valve station requires a minimum of space compared to conventional valve trains, and that is exactly the reason why Budweiser Ziyang factory in China chose the Danfoss ICF Valve Stations”.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin
