Minimising energy costs in temperature controlled storage

Energy is the largest cost over the life of a refrigeration system and in the cold storage sector it typically accounts for 90% of the total cost of ownership. Therefore; the efficiency of a refrigeration system has a direct effect on the environmental and financial performance of a business. The presentation will help businesses assess the suitability and performance of their current refrigeration related carbon and energy reduction strategies. Cold storage end users will be able to understand the elements involved in the development; implementation and sustained evaluation of customised programmes that reduce energy and carbon emissions at every stage- from conceptual to existing refrigeration plants. All plant owners need to consider the efficiency of their cooling equipment but the majority don’t have the tools or the years of experience to make informed decisions. By integrating the best available industry data with the industry’s expertise; there are now a number of evidence based; comprehensive solution that allows for an accurate assessment of the energy consumption and environmental impact of a cold store cooling plant - from inception and throughout the life cycle of the refrigeration system.
