Largest Blast Freeze Operation in the Northern Hemisphere

25 Refrigeration at New Riverfront Cold Storage Terminal

• Tippmann QFR , proprietary system that uses standard components in a unique arrangement consisting of: • freezer rack space in three rooms vs 13 blast cells • Operating at -27 degrees vs. -50 degrees • Product dwell time is 2. 4 million lbs. in 48 hours for maximum energy savings vs 1.2 million pounds in 20 hours • Same total product throughput as using Blast Cells • Overall result is reduced refrigeration equipment, lower power consumption than Blast Cells (energy savings)

Rack Freezing System Refrigeration at New Cold Storage Facility – Tippmann QFR Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Standards Employed for energy savings and operational efficiencies including:

• Light-emitting diodes (LED) lighting with centralized control and motion sensor systems

• Intricate sequence of systems that reduce energy demand such as: • Wider doors that allow trucks to open directly into the building • Air doors to reduce warm air infiltration • Dehumidifiers

29 Freezer Warehouse Truck Bays - Interior Shipping and Receiving Dock Blast Freezer Entrance Cost vs. Savings

• Tippmann QFR System • $2,436,093.00 for equipment • $435,336.00 for engineering analysis for various refrigeration alternatives preliminary design, cost estimating, for re-design • Annual Net Energy, Labor, and Mtn. Est. Savings to NOCS: $577,121.00 • Substitute glycol oil in lieu of NOSWB/City water for cooling the refrigeration compressors. Reduces water use and estimated reduction in annual operating cost of $35,000 for NOCS. • Substitute L.E.D. light fixtures for fluorescent lighting to increase energy efficiency and lower heat in the refrigerated warehouse for an annual estimate energy savings of $60,000 for NOCS.
