Project Overview
A leading Kenyan food processor specializing in cold storage of sensitive goods partnered with our company to refurbish their chilling system. The client opted to swap out an existing EVAPCO unit with our ZHX-1100 evaporative condenser, its second instance after the success of an earlier ZHX-595 unit installation. This case study summarizes the most important project particulars, outcomes, and future opportunities.
Project Details
– Location: Kenya
– Industry: Food Processing and Cold Storage
– Equipment:
– First unit: ZHX-595 (already installed)
– Second unit: ZHX-1100 (installing)
– Purpose: To supply effective cooling to cold storage warehouses for the best storage of food commodities.
– Competitor Replaced: EVAPCO evaporative condenser
– Client Feedback: The client indicated top-notch performance for both units, better energy efficiency, and reliability when compared to the EVAPCO product.

Key Milestones
- Initial Adoption (ZHX-595):
– The customer originally selected the ZHX-595 due to its compactness and high efficiency.
– Upon installation, the unit turned out to be more cooling-efficient and cost-efficient to operate, prompting the client to ask about other units.
- ZHX-1100 Shipment:
– The higher capacity ZHX-1100 was delivered to Kenya to serve the increasing cooling needs of the client.
– The unit was chosen for its strong performance in high-ambient-temperature conditions, which is perfect for Kenya’s climate.
- Client Engagement:
– The visit of the client to our organization reconfirmed their faith in our technology and support services.
– The visit confirmed discussions that they planned to order a second ZHX-1100 in September 2025.
Outcomes
– Performance: The ZHX-1100 and ZHX-595 units have delivered steady cooling, maintaining the integrity of the client’s food products.
– Energy Savings: We consume less energy in our condensers than the EVAPCO unit being replaced, which reduces operating costs.
– Client Satisfaction: The client’s satisfaction and confirmation of a third unit reinforce the dependability and efficiency of our equipment.
– Market Impact: This project solidifies our stance in the African food processing market, showing our ability to overcome deep-rooted competition like EVAPPCO.
Future Plans
– The client has placed a confirmed purchase order for an additional ZHX-1100 in September 2025, indicating trust in our technology.
– Continuous technical assistance and possible future collaboration to increase their cold storage business.
