Centrifuge water saving unit for sustainable cooling
In industrial settings, large centrifuges often require significant amounts of water for cooling processes. This demand can lead to high water consumption, which is not only costly but also environmentally unsustainable, particularly in areas where water resources are limited.
Minimize water usage in centrifuge cooling
The GEA Centrifuge Water Saving Unit is a compact and efficient add-on unit designed to drastically reduce the water consumption of centrifuge cooling systems. This unit works by transferring heat emitted from the operating separator to a recirculating cooling medium such as glycol or iced water, cutting down the need for fresh cooling water by 99.9%. This translates to savings of over 1.3 million liters of water per year per separator. The unit is small and easy to install, requiring no major modifications to existing setups, and can be operational in less than half a day. GEA has included features like a heat exchanger, circulation pump, controls, valves, and piping to ensure maximum efficiency. Compatibility with various GEA separator types makes it a versatile solution for sustainable cooling. The energy consumption is also optimized, further lowering operational costs.
