Emergent Cold Latam Joins the “The Move to -15°C”

Emergent Cold Latam Joins the “The Move to -15°C”

The cold chain is set for a transformative shift with a new proposal to change storage standards for frozen food, aiming to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions significantly. Known as “The Move to -15°C,” this initiative advocates for raising the standard storage temperature from -18°C to -15°C, offering substantial benefits for both the industry and the environment.

Emergent Cold Latam has joined this movement in Latin America, underscoring its commitment to global sustainability and food safety. The company believes that this shift is not only a crucial evolution for the cold chain sector but also a strategic change that will enhance logistics efficiency and reduce costs.

As interest in the movement grows, it is expected that more companies will incorporate this practice into their operations, marking a significant advancement for the industry.

“The Move to -15°C” is poised to globally transform the frozen food industry, promoting operational efficiency and cost savings while aligning with technological advancements in the supply chain. This movement reduces environmental impact and brings economic advantages to the frozen food sector, signaling a progressive transition toward a more sustainable and profitable future.

Case Study – Effect of Louvers or diffusers on air flow distribution and cooling time on a meat log during Chill cycle

By Kushal Aurangabadkar An experimental analysis was conducted on a cooler space measuring 3.66 m × 6.096 m (12.0 ft × 20.0 ft), equipped with an ammonia refrigeration coil, five 30 cm (12 in.) fans, and five diffusers. The study measured airflow patterns, cooling rates, and heat transfer efficiency in meat storage by testing two configurations:

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Modular Refrigeration Systems in Life Sciences Distribution Centers

by Ramez Naguib, P.E. Introduction Life sciences distribution centers are under immense pressure to deliver consistent temperature control, comply with increasingly stringent regulations, and optimize operational efficiency. Traditional built-up refrigeration systems often prove cumbersome, costly, and slow to implement. In contrast, modular, factory-assembled refrigeration systems have emerged as a compelling alternative. Drawing on lessons from
