Coconut Processing

Thermax’s absorption chiller helps boost operational efficiency in coconut processing

Project overview

A coconut processing facility needed an efficient cooling solution to preserve product quality and prevent spoilage.

Thermax implemented steam-fired absorption chillers that used waste steam to generate chilled water for process cooling. This approach ensured consistent cooling while reducing energy consumption and improving overall operational efficiency.
