Glycol Cooling Upgrades | National Dairy Producer

A prominent dairy producer recently added a new yogurt processing line, prompting the need for modifications to their existing ammonia refrigeration system to increase glycol cooling capacity. The Louis A. Roser Company played a crucial role in this upgrade, ensuring that the new system met the high standards for efficiency and reliability. Our work included the installation of compressors, condensers, a recirculator, and a plate-and-frame ammonia-to-glycol heat exchanger skid. Additionally, we assisted in the reassembly of a cooling tunnel that had been relocated from another facility.

The project began with a comprehensive 3D scan of the existing mechanical areas. Using this data, we developed detailed 3D models of the existing equipment and piping. This allowed us to seamlessly integrate all the new equipment, piping, and valves into the model. Collaborating closely with the client’s team, we reviewed the layout to ensure satisfaction with the placement of the new piping and valves. This meticulous planning enabled us to fabricate much of the piping in our shop, significantly reducing the overall cost and time required for the project.

In 2020, we made additional modifications to support a new process line that the client installed. These enhancements included the installation of hundreds of feet of new glycol piping, converting a flooded ammonia-to-glycol heat exchanger to direct injection, and removing the surge drum to reduce ammonia inventory. We also cleaned the heat exchanger plates and added new ones to increase the unit’s capacity.

Why It Matters
The expanded glycol cooling capacity was essential for the new yogurt processing line, ensuring that the client could maintain optimal production temperatures and quality.

New compressors and condensers were selected for their efficiency and reliability, providing a robust foundation for the upgraded system.

The recirculator and plate-and-frame heat exchanger skid were critical components in delivering consistent cooling performance.

Reassembling the cooling tunnel involved careful coordination and precision. The tunnel, originally from a different facility, had to be integrated seamlessly into the existing operations.

Scope: ATK is a major name in space and science, providing NASA with the solid-state rocket fuel for the space program. They use an ammonia refrigeration system to chill a brine solution, which is used in another part of their processing. In 2008 and 2009, LA Roser began upgrades to their system, including replacing the original upright compressors with the advanced screw compressors used now. In 2009 and 2011, ATK worked with LA Roser to upgrade the old, very large, shell-and-tube heat exchangers to the new, efficient plate-and-frame chillers. These only take up a small fraction of the space for the same capacity.

Since 1907 For A Reason

In the early 1900s, Louis A. Roser founded a small business that would grow into a remarkable legacy, spanning four generations. This legacy was carried forward by his son, Glen Roser Sr., and later by his grandson, Glen Roser Jr. Today, the family torch is still carried by Bart Roser, who continues to uphold the values and vision that began over a century ago.

We’re thrilled to share our story with you, showcasing the rich history of our journey. Below, you’ll find a collection of photos from our past that offer a glimpse into our heritage.
