Electricity cost is one bulk of operating costs, and effective energy saving in electricity bills are one of the ways to increase profits.For supermarket or retail store, choosing proper refrigeration system is very important for saving electricity costs . The refrigeration system is mainly composed of ac system and refrigeration cabinet.

Today we talk about refrigeration cabinet

A good refrigeration cabinet will provide you wide clear display view and high quality storage space with lowest energy consumption. It operate on electricity, so where the electricity goes on refrigeration cabinet and how to save ?

Energy Go

The electricity goes to 2 parts:
1.Displaying part: lighting and Glass door heating(anti fog)-for giving a bright and clear view.
2. Refrigerating part: Condensing unit and evaporator-cooling to give high quality storage.

Lighting

Lighting is quite necessary for retail cabinet.A good lighting design can make your goods look clear and attractive. Lights need to be always on during business hours, so they consume a lot of electricity. This can be improved by changing the layout of the lights. Good lighting layout design will reduce the number of light used while keeping the same lighting effect. Using mullion lights and under-shelf lights in pairs is a very effective combination.

Glass door heating

Glass door heating system is used to keep a clear view for the cabinet.It work through prevents the glass door surface from fogging. Water in air will condense on both the out side of the door when closed and the inner side when opened. The heating system is used on the out side. Through heating glass surface keeping its temperature at about 25°C to prevent fogging. It seems a bit more consume energy.How to save on this point? An excellent insulating glass is needed, to prevent the inner cold air from being transmitted to the outer glass. Pay attention to glass door when choosing refrigerated cabinet is important.

ART standard series and slimline series glass door are good choice for a good refrigeration cabinet.Using warm edge spacer insulating glass can isolate the external hot air and prevent the internal cold air from being transmitted outward. Good insulation can not only reduce glass door heating system’s consumption but also reduce condensing unit’s operating time,thereby reducing electricity consumption.

Refrigerating part we will talk in our next essay.
