Hi,

Are you sure ? do you want to cool the milk in one hour; if so the capacity roughly comes around 60KW . The compressor selection depends on the Refrigerant and the evaporator coil type. Generally two compressors/condensing units are used for such an application.

You can use ice-bank system to produce ice over night and
melt it during one hour to cool your milk from 25oC to 4oC ....


This is the normal system when you required to remove a huge amount of heat in a short time.


You can calculate this by yourself when you choose your equipment ...


Of course it is not bad idea to install two units as suggested by sendhilkmar in above post.
