Keeping Budgets Cool
TecoFROST
Natural Gas Engine Driven Refrigeration
Can
a natural gas engine thats tough enough to perform reliably
for 25-million operating hours, be friendly to both the environment
and your budget? The people at Tecogen think so. Using non-CFC refrigerants,
variable-speed operation and, of course, economical gas power, Tecogens
TecoFROST meets these critical needs for cold-food storage, breweries
and wineries, dairies, ice rinks, pharmaceutical manufacturers
and
more.
The TecoFROST refrigeration package is a natural gas engine-driven
system designed to handle industrial refrigeration loads. Key features
of the TecoFROST package are its high-efficiency variable-speed
operation, heat recovery capability, sophisticated microprocessor
controls, Remote Control Monitoring System, and low emissions engine.
Sizes range from 75HP to 160HP with ammonia and R-22 refrigerants.
The footprint is comparable to conventional electric equipment,
and Tecogen offers full parts and service support.

Maximum Operating Savings
The variable-speed operation of the TecoDrive natural gas engine
used on the TecoFROST optimizes energy use by closely following
the load profile. This variable-speed capability provides the additional
benefit of longer intervals between required maintenance on both
the engine and compressor. Annual operating savings is significant
and yields a rapid payback.
Proven Technology
The
TecoFROST utilizes the same reliable refrigeration components screw compressor, oil separator as
electric refrigeration systems manufactured by Vilter. The electric
motor
is simply replaced
by a more efficient, variable-speed natural gas engine. The TecoDrive
engine used on the TecoFROST has a proven track record of over
25-million
operating hours in refrigeration, chilled water, and cogeneration
applications.
Reliable Microprocessor Controls
The control panel on the TecoFROST features
precise and efficient operating control to ensure high reliability.
Extensive safeties
guarantee long engine and equipment life. The panel controls, monitors
and displays over 50 operating functions and conditions to facilitate
diagnostics and servicing. It also features a Remote Monitoring
Control System for off-site monitoring. This panel is easily integrated
with industry standard networks.
Environmentally Friendly
The TecoFROST uses non-CFC refrigerants (R-717 or R-22), and has
the lowest fuel input per unit of refrigeration.
