Contractors and Customers Alike Can’t Live Without Refrigeration Controls and Monitoring
“It’s almost like the check engine light in your car.” This is how Charlie Sternberg, owner of S&S Refrigeration Co. in New Jersey, described the base value of NRM’s monitoring platform to greenHVACR magazine.
Evaporator Fan Cycling: Is it Really a Risk?
In most walk-in coolers and freezers, the evaporator fans run 24/7/365, at full speed. This makes evaporator fans an obvious place to look for energy savings in commercial refrigeration. But is it safe to turn them off?
Cold Storage Facilities Turn to Technology to Boost Efficiency
Everything from remote access to temperature settings and defrost cycles, to robotic forklifts, to high-efficiency LED lighting systems are helping these facilities better manage costs and their important systems, according to a new article in The Packer.
Decreasing Energy Costs as a Produce Facility — a PMA Webinar
The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) hosted an educational webinar about ways in which produce businesses can decrease energy costs, and pursue sustainability goals. Three guest speakers shared their expertise and described the tools and measures they implemented to achieve their desired results.
When is it Time to Consider a Refrigeration Monitoring and Control System?
Ask yourself these 10 questions to consider whether or not it’s time for your business to procure a refrigeration monitoring and control system. We’ll start with an easy one: Have you lost a compressor before?
Unlock Energy Savings: Variable Frequency Drives for Refrigeration Compressor Optimization
Many traditional refrigeration systems, particularly those employing conventional on/off compressor cycling, are inherently inefficient, leading to significant energy waste, increased mechanical stress on components, and undesirable temperature fluctuations.
6 Do-It-Yourself Ways to Reduce Your Commercial HVAC Energy Costs
Behind refrigeration, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air condition) is the most energy-intensive mechanism in commercial and industrial spaces. In the average commercial building, HVAC accounts for 15% of the building’s energy consumption.
Refrigeration Smart Controls and Peak Energy Demand Reduction
Effective demand-limiting strategies will often increase overall energy usage, but they have the potential to yield a lower electric bill in facilities where demand charges are high.
