EVEREST is the system that FIC SPA proposes for the ice-accumulation and it is widely used when the use of chilled water is below the 10-12 hours per day. EVEREST consists of an insulated tank with insulated lids where it is placed a heat-exchanger that is normally made of serpentines. Both the tank and the serpentines can be in galvanised steel or in stainless steel. The tank is filled with water and in the serpentines flows the refrigerant fluid (freon, ammonia, glycol). Due to cooling process, within a specific time there is ice formation in form of sleeves onto the serpentines till determined thicknesses that are controlled by specific ice-thickness controllers. After the ice formation, the tank is fed with continuous flow of normal water that in contact with ice is cooled down to the temperature of 1°C and than is sent to the user. The efficiency and the fast ice melting is guaranteed by a special air agitation system, consisting of an air blower and an air distributors placed into the tank. The system can be supplied with or without cooling machines. The accumulation capacity goes from 38.000 kcal up to over 2.000.000 kcal. Typical application for the EVEREST are in the following industries: dairy, food, beer, meat, fish.
