Progresso e tecnologia

Risparmiare l'energia conviene

L'impiego efficiente di energia nelle operazioni sui containers frigo è un punto di considerevole importanza sia nei confronti dell'ambiente che dal punto di vista più strettamente di business. Sebbene le tecniche di refrigerazione stiano diventando sempre più sofisticate, gli operatori e gli spedizionieri a volte non comprendono a fondo l'importanza di questo argomento.

Trent'anni fa, l'efficienza energetica era un argomento di scottante attualità perché si temeva l'estinguimento totale dei combustibili fossili. Tutte quelle preoccupazioni appaiono oggi essere state assai ingiustificate, almeno in un'ottica di medio periodo, ma il problema dell'efficienza energetica è di nuovo diventato attuale a causa dell'innalzamento globale delle temperature terrestri e dei cambiamenti climatici, eventi provocati per larga parte dalle emissioni di diossidi di carbonio che scaturiscono dalla combustione dei combustibili fossili.

Il diossido di carbonio ed altri gas serra sono stati responsabili di una discreta parte dell'innalzamento globale delle temperature, ma fino almeno a circa gli anni Ottanta gli effetti contrastanti delle piogge acide e dell'allargamento del buco d'ozono hanno nascosto largamente il problema del surriscaldamento. Superate le due succitate problematiche, siamo oggi di fronte ad un innalzamento di circa 2°C della temperatura terrestre e ad una crescita del livello delle acque marine di circa mezzo metro entro la fine del secolo. Gli effetti di tutte queste crescite sono ancora ignoti, ma potrebbero esservi sicuramente delle ripercussioni severe.

Anche l'efficienza energetica è un argomento di vitale importanza in tema di ambiente, ed è stato anche per anni un ottimo sistema per controllare i costi di produzione. Le pressioni per prendere il problema in grande considerazione e per minimizzare l'utilizzo dell'energia dove possibile non sono mai state così forti.

Ci sono almeno quattro aree di particolare interesse in tema di risparmio energetico per quanto concerne i containers frigo. Essi sono:

  • la scelta delle attrezzature adeguate;

  • la manutenzione;

  • la temperatura del carico;

  • il pre-raffreddamento del container.

I primi due punti rientrano nelle competenze e nei compiti degli operatori dei containers, i due restanti sono sotto la responsabilità degli spedizionieri, ma possono essere influenzati dal parere degli operatori stessi, magari più competenti.

I risparmi energetici che possono essere fatti con un singolo container potranno apparire anche piccoli, ma, moltiplicati per il numero delle spedizioni frigo, essi rappresentano certamente un costo che risulta essere significativo comparato ai profitti aziendali. Pertanto, vale la pena tenerli in debita considerazione.

Scegliere in modo saggio

Ci sono svariati manufattori di eccellenti containers frigo che garantiscono un buon controllo della temperatura. Comunque, ci sono delle differenze nel consumo energetico tra i diversi modelli di container, anche tra quelli dello stesso costruttore.

I quantitativi di energia impiegati per i beni refrigerati (che necessitano di costante refrigerazione con controllo continuo della temperatura) sono sostanzialmente maggiori di quelli dei beni congelati, che possono essere trasportati con un semplice controllo di tipo on/off e gamme più vaste di temperatura. Il potenziale di risparmio energetico è pertanto maggiore per il carico refrigerato.

Per mantenere un range abbastanza contenuto di temperature su di un carico refrigerato, l'aria deve essere fatta circolare ad una velocità tale da permettere di togliere il calore penetrato all'interno delle pareti del container prima che il carico si surriscaldi. A temperatura ambiente elevata, sono necessari tassi di circolazione dell'aria intorno ai 4.000 m3/h, con conseguente alto consumo di energia da parte dei ventilatori. A temperatura ambiente più bassa, invece, si richiede minore circolazione d'aria, con un conseguente risparmio potenziale dell'energia in uso. In effetti, dimezzare la circolazione d'aria interna può ridurre l'impiego dell'energia necessaria a livello di ventilazione anche fino a otto volte.

Anche il modo di utilizzare il controllo della temperatura affligge in qualche modo l'utilizzo dell'energia. I sistemi di bypassaggio di gas caldo e di rallentamento dell'aspirazione agiscono congiuntamente per far lavorare più intensamente il compressore su carichi a bassa refrigerazione. Allora si può agire sulla velocità o sulla capacità del compressore per ricercare l'efficienza energetica.

Un manufattore (la Thermo King) ha introdotto un modello che combina un sistema di ventilazione con drive a frequenze variabili con un compressore a scorrimento a iniezione di vapore. La Thermo King dichiara che con questo sistema ottiene dei risparmi energetici di oltre il 44%, confrontati ai tradizionali equipaggiamenti in specifici viaggi prova.

Considerato che gli operatori comprendono i benefici ambientali ed economici di tutti questi risparmi, ci si deve attendere che altri costruttori si muoveranno nella stessa direzione.

Mantienilo pulito

Perché un'unità frigo lavori in modo efficiente, essa necessita di una pulizia costante e periodica dei commutatori di calore (evaporatori e serpentine di condensamento), dei filtri essiccanti e dell'appropriato carico di refrigerante. Avere dei componenti puliti è possibile se si effettuano una regolare manutenzione e delle competenti ispezioni pre-spedizione.

Scegliere il corretto cargo invece non è poi così facile. Comunque è importante che né troppo né troppo poco gas sia messo all'interno dell'unità se questa deve essere poi ricaricata - errore abbastanza grave che può ridurre l'efficienza. Se ci sono piccole crepe nel sistema, ci possono essere delle perdite di circa il 30% o anche di più della carica prima che ci siano dei sintomi chiari della situazione in corso, ma fino a quel momento il livello di efficienza potrebbe essere già sceso di oltre il 10%.

La risposta sta in sistemi senza falle, ma questo è un po' troppo idealistico. Forse in futuro vedremo sistemi di monitoraggio disponibili molto più sofisticati, che potranno subito individuare e localizzare delle perdite di refrigerante. Nel mentre, è importante assicurare che solamente personale altamente qualificato nel maneggiamento dei refrigeranti sia impiegato nei sistemi di carico.

Per quanto concerne le merci congelate, c'è una forte propensione, da parte degli spedizionieri e dei caricatori, a pensare che più freddo significhi necessariamente meglio. Per alcuni prodotti (in particolare pesce e gelato), questo è vero. Ma per molti altri tipi di merce, non c'è alcun beneficio nel mantenere le temperature al di sotto dei -18°C stabiliti da molte legislazioni. Infatti, non c'è alcun rischio di contaminazioni o di crescita microbica finché il prodotto è mantenuto a -10°C o meno ancora. Trasportare a temperature più basse del necessario accresce l'utilizzo dell'energia, anche perché l'unità di refrigerazione deve essere gestita con maggiori differenze di temperatura.

Per fare un esempio, la CRT ha mostrato che (per un'unità particolare in un ambiente esterno di 38°C) se la temperatura del container frigo fosse ridotta da 10°C a -28°C, l'energia impiegata crescerebbe da 2,23 kW a 4,13 kW. E questo è un accrescimento dell'8,5% di energia per ogni grado Celsius di riduzione della temperatura. Chiaramente, si dovrebbero evitare delle riduzioni non necessarie nelle temperature di trasporto.

Per i beni refrigerati, non c'è alcun motivo per modificare la temperatura del trasporto, ma in certi casi l'energia può essere sprecata se viene richiesta e poi fornita effettivamente un'eccessiva ventilazione di aria fresca. Anche questo, a sua volta, accresce la carica del sistema di refrigerazione.

Risulta essere molto più efficiente raffreddare o congelare i prodotti e portarli alle loro temperature di viaggio in apposite strutture che cercare di abbassare le temperature durante il viaggio stesso. E' anche molto meglio dal punto di vista della qualità del prodotto, anche perché le unità di trasporto non sono state progettate per effettuare un refrigeramento accurato e veloce. Se gli operatori di containers accettano il carico caldo, essi accettano anche costi aggiuntivi e impiego di energia extra per le loro operazioni sui container frigo, e gli spedizionieri devono alla fine sottostare, anche magari volontariamente, a dei compromessi in merito a qualità del prodotto.

Si spera che nel futuro questi ed altri aspetti del settore refrigerazione vengano meglio compresi, così da ridurre il volume di carico caldo accettato.

L'importanza dell'efficienza energetica e delle vie per perseguirla è chiara. Sapere e capire queste problematiche non è sempre così facile e di veloce comprensione come potrebbe e dovrebbe a prima vista sembrare. I proprietari e gli operatori di containers frigo, nonché i loro clienti, hanno tutti una loro parte da giocare nel ridurre l'utilizzo dell'energia e nell'apportare benefici all'ambiente, e, se vi riusciranno, otterranno anche dei notevoli benefici in termini di riduzione dei costi.
