During 2015, a Cuban brewery needed to replace the ammonia (NH3) condensing system from the compressors of the refrigeration units: MITA Cooling Technologies was involved in the supply of evaporative condensers by the project’s lead machine and equipment manufacturer, also modernizing the production process.
A Cuban brewery needed to renovate the cooling section of its ammonia (NH3) production plant. The old painted iron condensers were completely corroded and obsolete. Some of the customer’s additional requirements: bsse noise and low energy use by the proposed solution. It was also important to consider the total footprint of the machines, both for overseas transportation and the limited space where the evaporative systems were to be installed.
MITA has built, exported and installed 6 MCE model MCE 5712 Silent C/S (Container/Special) evaporative condensers to meet the critical issues specified by the customer. These condensers offer an extremely small final footprint. These condensers are also made of fiberglass to be incorrodible and ensure a long service life. They are on the other hand designed for transportation in containers, meeting standard dimensions.
The “Silent” version of MCE’s evaporative condensers adopts specific measures to reduce noise, complying with ISO 3744 and EN 13487 standards: these include the use of low-speed electric motors, fans with special aerodynamic profile blades, sound-absorbing sheathing, anti-shock mat made of polypropylene panels, and aphonic air intake caps. The condensing gas coils have also recently been enlarged, providing reduced efficiency and noise. They offer capacity ranging from 120 kW to 2 MW, accessibility through hatches for easy maintenance, and low energy use due to motors directly coupled to axial fans.
MITA MCE evaporative condensers enabled an overall increase in thermal capacity to 6,804 kW. Thanks to this solution, the overall efficiency of the cooling process has been improved.
In addition, maintenance of the condensers has become easy thanks to internal inspection accesses.

Refrigeration in the food sector is linked to production lines in food & beverage: the optimization of efficiency and resources (water and energy) are the most requested needs by customers. Evaporative and adiabatic condensers must be able to manage different refrigerant gases based on project requirements.
Foodstuff storage at temperatures below zero can be implemented through different types of natural or non-natural refrigerants: evaporative or adiabatic condensers can be indicated, depending on whether the company is focused on performance or resource use optimization. Low noise solutions are often appreciated.
Cooling technologies for food industry must help preserve the quality of the finished product (and of the process liquid): this is true even more than in other industries. Closed circuit cooling towers and “hybrid towers” can make their contribution. It is fundamental to grant the operational plant continuity of the cooling system.
Langhe, a historic area of Piedmont known for its wines and haute cuisine. MITA Cooling Technologies participated in the modernization of a dairy's refrigeration system with two heterogeneous solutions: the MCE evaporative condenser and an adiabatic condenser.
