In commercial refrigeration, energy efficiency is not just about savings, but also about sustainability. At FRICON, we are committed to helping our customers save energy and make the right choices for their businesses.
Our equipment combines cutting-edge technology with maximum efficiency, adapting to the needs of each customer. In this article, we explore two distinct technologies, aiming to help identify the best option for your store.
To illustrate the advantages of VCC (Variable Capacity Compressor) technology, we analyzed some of our equipment from the supermarket segment, including the CLS 210L, CLS 210 T, and CLS 250 L models.
The Variable Capacity Compressor (VCC) has proven to be a more efficient alternative. It adjusts the compressor’s capacity variably, allowing for more precise temperature control and optimizing energy consumption.
Energy Efficiency Analysis
To help visualize the difference in energy efficiency between technologies, we conducted a detailed analysis of the energy consumption of our most popular equipment in the supermarket segment. Below, we present the energy savings for each model:
Interpretation of the Data
Models equipped with VCC technology have considerably lower energy consumption compared to others.
Energy Saving Percentage
The use of VCC technology results in a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to others. Below are the energy saving percentages for the different models:
- SMR CLS 210L: Up to 25% energy savings when using VCC.
- SMR CLS 210T: Up to 28% energy savings when using VCC.
- SMR CLS 250L: Up to 23% energy savings when using VCC.
Refrigerant Gas: A Sustainable Choice
The choice of refrigerant gas has a significant impact on both the energy efficiency and sustainability of refrigeration systems. At FRICON, we prioritize the gas with the lowest global warming potential, R-290 (propane), which is safer for the environment and delivers excellent performance in terms of efficiency, helping to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
This commitment is part of our ongoing strategy to help businesses meet sustainability and emission reduction requirements, while maintaining the high energy efficiency of their refrigeration systems.
The Right Choice for Your Business
Choosing the best refrigeration equipment is key to ensuring energy efficiency, sustainability and reduced operating costs for your business. VCC technology offers significant advantages in terms of energy savings, and is particularly suitable for businesses looking to maximise energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.
Our equipment with other technologies, such as Automatic Defrost (AD), remains an excellent choice for many businesses. AD offers effective control of ice formation, keeping the system running efficiently and reliably, without compromising on quality or durability. These models continue to be a balanced solution, providing consistent and dependable results.
At FRICON, our commitment is to provide a range of refrigeration solutions that adapt to the specific needs of each customer. We ensure that all our equipment is designed with the highest quality and efficiency, delivering results that contribute to the success and sustainability of your business.
