Research now being conducted by a global HVAC and refrigeration company holds quite a bit of promise for the commercial food service industry in the UK. However, they are not the only ones that stand to benefit. What Emerson Climate Technologies learns from their work could also prove helpful to the temporary refrigeration sector as well.
Renewable energy holds a lot of promise for changing the way we do things. However, one of the biggest stumbling blocks to large-scale adoption is one of storage. Energy producers need to be able to store excess energy during non-peak periods for later use at peak, whether by battery or some other storage facility.
Every day, we work with clients looking for refrigerated trailer hire or walk-in freezer rental. But how often do we take the time to think about where modern refrigeration came from, or why we even enjoy what we have available to us today? For the record, much of what the refrigeration industry has become is owed to the creative thoughts of a North American businessperson in the 1830s.
This past December (2014), Swindon Hospital was fortunate enough to be able to replace two walk-in chillers without losing any of its cooling capacity in the process. The replacement was the result of an upgrade from older 50kW units to new 65kW units capable of operating at -7°C. The project was completed over two weekends to avoid any losses in the catering department.
Europe's largest frozen food company is partnering with a group of others to form a coalition that will soon launch a brand-new campaign to promote better use of refrigerators and freezers in Europe. Iglo Group is the main driving force behind the iFreeze campaign that gets under way very soon. This latest campaign follows on the heels of a previous Iglo campaign known as Forever Food Together.
We like to stay abreast of all the latest developments in the refrigeration industry so that we can remain on the cutting edge. To that end, we recently read a news story involving a company that has incorporated video advertising with cold storage. The idea is to use LCD screens built into commercial coolers to display messaging that will encourage patrons to purchase whatever is behind the glass.
