WHERE USED |
|
ENERGY STAR®
qualification |
|
|
|
Cabinet
refrigeration systems designed for
optimum energy efficiency and may be
eligible for rebate programs. |
|
|
|
Numerous solid and
glass door merchandisers and MBUR
model undercounter refrigerators |
|
|
|
|
|
Initiates electric
defrost heaters only as needed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Highly efficient
valve eliminates need to maintain a
high head pressure (head pressure
control valve eliminated also)
allowing a lower head pressure and
condensing temperature. A compressor
operating at a lower condensing
temperature yields higher capacity
with less energy input. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A reverse cycle
valve reverses the flow of high
temperature refrigerant through
evaporator coil, heating along its
entire length and eliminating frost
buildup. Results in a decrease
of up to 80% in defrost energy usage as well as a
major reduction in defrost time. |

LEDs use less
electricity than fluorescent lights
with electromagnetic ballasts and
introduce less heat into the
refrigerated space which reduces the
workload on the refrigeration
system’s compressor. The less the
compressor operates, the more energy
is saved. LEDs also save money
because they last longer than
fluorescent bulbs. LEDs also last up
to 50,000 hours. |

Standard in
numerous cabinets and optional in walk-ins |

MBWA-1 digital
alarm/light management system
|
|
|
|
Door open alarm
prevents door from being left open.
Optional light management system
automatically turns off lights after
a programmed interval. |
|
|
|
An option on walk-in
coolers and freezers |
|
|
|
|
|
The Glass Sentry II
anti-sweat control module is
designed to save energy by turning
off glass door and frame heaters
when no door heat is necessary. |
|
|
|
An option on glass
door walk-in coolers and freezers |
|
|
|
|
|
Amount of torque and
current required to start ECMs is
low, making them more efficient.
ECMs run cooler, reducing heat load
to refrigerated space which makes
the compressor run less. |
|
|
|
Standard on single
phase walk-in evaporator coils |
|
|
|
|
|
Standard 4-inch
panel with R-32 rating meets federal
EISA requirements for freezers and
surpasses R-25 requirements for
coolers. |
|
|
|
Standard thickness on walk-in
coolers and freezers |
|
|
|
5" and 6"
thick walk-in panels |
|
|
|
Thickness of panels
produces a higher R-factor and
energy efficiency which surpasses
federal EISA requirements. |
|
|
|
An option on walk-in
coolers and freezers |
|
|
|
Low energy or energy
free standard walk-in entry doors |
|
|
|
V-series doors have
a PVC thermal break between the door
and frame which minimizes heat
transfer between the refrigerated
space and the outside. Cooler doors
don't require anti-sweat heat and
freezer doors only require a low
wattage heater in the frame. |

|
Standard on walk-in
coolers and freezers |

DRS
multi-compressor remote
refrigeration systems |
|
|
|
Since these systems
are remote, the heat produced by
multiple condensing units is removed
from the kitchen or sales space
reducing the air conditioning load
and energy bill |
|
|
|
Walk-ins and
cabinets with remote refrigeration
systems |
|
|
|
PS series multi-compressor parallel
refrigeration systems |
|
|
|
Parallel units can
match refrigeration capacity to
actual load for a 20%+ savings over
a single compressor unit.
|
|
|
|
Walk-ins and
cabinets with remote refrigeration
systems |
|
|
|
|
|
Up to 20% increase
in efficiency vs. reciprocating
compressors. Scrolls are also 50%
more reliable than reciprocating
types.
