Refrigeration can account for the largest share of energy costs in food processing, cold storage, and retail environments. We reduce that cost without touching your temperature performance.
In food processing and cold storage environments, refrigeration can consume more energy than every other system in the building combined. And because maintaining temperature is non-negotiable, most operators assume the energy cost is fixed.
It's not. The motors, compressors, condensers, evaporators, and controls that make up a refrigeration system all have efficiency opportunities. Variable frequency drives on compressor and condenser fan motors, ECM evaporator fan motors, floating head and suction pressure controls, and anti-sweat heater management can dramatically reduce energy consumption.
The key is making these improvements without any risk to product temperature or food safety. That's where our engineering approach matters — we model the impact before we touch anything.
We apply proven efficiency measures to every component of your refrigeration system, always with food safety and temperature integrity as the non-negotiable baseline.
Variable frequency drives on compressors match capacity to actual load, eliminating the energy waste of constant-speed cycling. One of the highest-impact refrigeration measures available.
Electronically commutated motors for evaporator and condenser fans use a fraction of the energy of shaded-pole or PSC motors. Simple retrofit with dramatic results.
Floating head pressure, floating suction pressure, smart defrost scheduling, and condenser fan staging. These controls strategies let the system respond to ambient conditions rather than running at worst-case settings all the time.
In retail and display case environments, anti-sweat heaters can consume as much energy as the refrigeration system itself. Smart controls reduce heater run time based on actual conditions.
High-speed doors, strip curtains, and air curtain installations that reduce infiltration into cold spaces. Every time warm air enters a cooler or freezer, your compressors work harder.
Refrigeration measures typically qualify for strong utility incentives. We handle the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure you capture every available rebate.
From the processing plant to the retail display case, we optimize refrigeration systems across every stage of the cold chain.
