ENERGY-SAVING FUNCTION |
WHERE USED |
|
|
|
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 an 80% decrease
in defrost energy usage as well as a
major reduction in defrost time. |
|
|
|
|
T8 electronic and
LED lighting
|
|
|
|
Both types 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 optional in
select cabinets, T8 lighting with electronic
ballasts standard in numerous cabinets
and glass door walk-in freezers |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
Permanent Split
Capacitor (PSC) Fan Motors |
|
|
|
Amount of torque and
current required to start PSC motors
is low, making them more efficient.
PSC motors run cooler, reducing heat
load to refrigerated space which
makes the compressor run less. |
|
|
|
Optional on single
phase walk-in unit coolers and
standard on condensing units |
|
|
|
|
|
Thickness of panels
produces a higher R-factor and
energy efficiency required by
California Energy Code |
|
|
|
An option on walk-in
coolers and freezers |
|
|
|
MRS
&
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
Approximate 20% increase in energy
efficiency |
|
|
|
An option on walk-in cooler and
freezer refrigeration systems |
