OverviewThe closed ice-water circulation system provides rapid, energy-efficient chilling for combi kettles and related production equipment. Ice water is produced by a Metos Ice Bank (ice water bank) or by on-demand fluid chiller units installed in the building technical space. During the cooling cycle, ice water circulates through the kettle jacket and returns to the Ice Bank or chiller for re-cooling. The system is designed for integration with building services and can operate as part of site heat-exchange arrangements.
Key features and applications- Delivers very fast chilling for combi kettles and other production equipment.
- Also suitable for cooling cold-preparation kettles, ice-water basins and sous-vide basins.
- Two production options: Metos Ice Bank (ice water bank) or fluid chiller units (on-demand chilled water).
- Fluid chiller units are more compact than ice banks where space is limited.
- Modular architecture allows systems to be sized to actual kitchen cooling demand and expanded as required.
- Compact units can fit into small spaces (e.g. goods lift, small basement or ventilation room), facilitating installation in existing buildings or renovations.
- Dedicated Proveno kettles solution: mobile Ice Bank on wheels for easy movement, plug & play docking for expansion, simultaneous different cooling flow temperatures and programmable flow temperature control.
NotesMetos Ice Banks employ high-capacity evaporator panels engineered for high cooling loads to ensure optimal performance. Fluid chiller units are intended to be installed in the building technical space and integrated into the site's heat-exchange architecture.
Technical characteristics / specifications- System type: closed ice-water circulation system for kettle jacket cooling.
- Production methods: Metos Ice Bank or fluid chiller (on-demand chilled water).
- Evaporator design: ice banks use high-capacity evaporator panels for effective chilling.
