Enel X Global Retail and Cellino consolidate their all-round partnership with a project that guarantees savings on energy consumption and a reduction in emissions.
The Sardinian industrial fabric is rich in companies operating in the food sector. For them, like other companies operating in various sectors, space heating (the correct conditioning of the premises) is essential, as it creates the optimal conditions for processing and maintaining the products. The need of companies is simple: to make this process more efficient so as to save on energy consumption. The management of space heating therefore requires a new approach based on efficient, innovative, convenient and advantageous solutions. Solutions that Enel X Global Retail has identified and implemented for the air handling unit located in the Fette di Sole plant of the Cellino Group, one of the most important entrepreneurial groups in Sardinia active mainly in the food sector.
The first solution, the air-water heat pump, produces heat which is transmitted to the exchange batteries of the air handling unit. These, in turn, are crossed by the air which will then be used to condition the production departments in order to correctly maintain the temperature for processing the rusks. The refrigerator chiller, the second solution identified, follows the same process but to produce cold air, to be used for air conditioning especially in the summer. As a completion, the steam generator heats the water which is used for washing and sterilizing the machinery and moulds. Thanks to these solutions, the Santa Giusta production site will be able to reduce energy consumption by 20% and save something like 1,350 tons of CO2. Furthermore, the steam generator has made it possible to decommission the old and inefficient LPG-powered boiler, significantly contributing to decarbonisation.
