| True World Foods Recently, Bailey Refrigeration designed, engineered, built and installed a unique refrigeration system for True World Foods of Elizabeth, NJ. It is currently being used for True World Foods’ line of “Super Frozen Tuna.” In order to ensure freshness, this “Super Frozen Tuna” must be stored at temperatures at or below -76°F. Ordinary refrigeration systems are not rated below -58°F, thus we had to custom design our own cascade system. (Cascade refrigeration refers to two refrigeration circuits thermally connected by a cascade condenser, which is the condenser of the low-temperature circuit and the evaporator of the high-temperature circuit.) Using R22 and R23 for the high and low temperature circuits, respectively, the design temperature of -76°F could be met. At our shop in Avenel, Bailey technicians created a
skid with the R22 and R23 compressors, custom cascade condenser, R23 liquid
suction heat exchanger, suction accumulators, and a very large fadeout
vessel. Bailey also incorporated a
programmable logic controller (PLC) for integrated control of the two
systems. For ease of troubleshooting,
high and low pressure failures can be read off of the PLC display. Also, evaporators specially suited for R23
and extreme low temperatures were installed at the location. With this cascade refrigeration system, True
World Foods is able to maintain “Super
Freezing Temperatures” for their “Super
Frozen Tuna.” |
| Weird Bailey: Several years ago Bailey was involved with an innovative plan to produce environmentally safe clay pigeons. Traditional clay pigeons are shooting targets composed of various materials that may be harmful to the environment and leave fragments on the shooting range that can be quite costly to clean up. Bailey was consulted by an independent source to manufacture custom molds and equipment for producing "ice" pigeons. Ice pigeons would provide a cheap, environmentally safe alternative to clay pigeons. Despite setbacks in the original plan years ago, the 'ice pigeon' project may take flight soon. |

| Bailey Refrigeration 'Got Involved' with the Wildlife Conservation
Society through the New York Aquarium just two years ago. The summer
of 2000 was a hot one and had heated up the water in the Beluga Whale
tank due to a complete lack of water cooling equipment. The tank temperature
was so high that it was killing the whales--so Bailey came up with a
solution that minimized spending and could be done at emergency speeds.
Bailey dedicated hundreds of hours of emergency custom planning and
worked overtime to save the whales. The NY Aquarium gave a tour of the
aquarium to Ben Bailey and his children after the whales had recovered--the
whales where so grateful that they gave them all kisses!

A factoid from the NY Aquarium Website: Did you know Beluga means "white" in Russian? Beluga whales are called the "canaries of the sea." |
