Technical design
Heating, cooling, airflow and utility connections at a glance – a starting point for planning your system.
TECHNICAL DESIGN
Utilities, capacities and sizes – clearly comparable.
The following values represent proven SORGO standard configurations and selected project versions. They provide a sound planning basis; the final design always follows the product, process and local utility supply.
Airflow
Reversing alternating airflow with shaped nozzles for uniform drying and ripening.
Energy
Enthalpy control proportionally uses suitable outside air and reduces unnecessary cooling and heating demand.
Heating
Heating and humidification are designed separately for each project. A steam coil for heating the process air does not imply a cooking function; humidification steam is a separate matter.
Cooling
Water shower and mist, glycol circuit, Freon or ammonia. Compact stainless steel finned-tube coils increase the effective surface area and provide high cooling capacity in a confined space; capacity and evaporation temperature are calculated for the product load and desired cooling time.
Utilities & interfaces
Fresh and exhaust air, water, condensate, compressed air, electrical connected load and data connectivity are defined as a complete interface package. SORGO X1 and SORGO Inspect enable recipe management, trends and documentation.
Project planning note
All specifications are planning guidelines, not a guarantee of properties. Configuration and consumption depend on factors including product temperature, loading, climate system, local regulations and permitted refrigerants. Larger and double-row systems are available on request.
