The brief
What the farm needed
A growing Co. Tipperary farm needed a large-capacity tank that could keep up with a high-volume morning milking without compromising on milk quality. Surge tolerance, permanent bottomfill and an integrated 500L heat recovery unit were non-negotiable.
The build
What we delivered
- 18,000L (18,320L max) enclosed direct expansion milk tank
- Twin S9-ZB57 Three Phase Copeland Scroll compressors (2 × 7.5hp)
- Permanent bottomfill configuration for surge protection during peak flow
- Integrated 500L Liscarroll heat recovery unit supplying parlour hot water
The outcome
Result on the farm
- Single morning fill handled inside the cooling window with no manual intervention
- Hot water generated as a by-product of cooling, reducing electric heater run-time
- Documented commissioning pack delivered with the install
