Several refrigerated cabinets highlighted at the trade show carry multiple patents and new displays, helping maximize efficiency in small spaces.
- The E6 Monaxis ultra-low front height refrigeration cabinet was designed for a larger opening height to highlight retail products. It also has larger storage capacity, with multiple options of openings and glass doors.
- The Velando QL is equipped with high-efficiency door frames, providing energy savings of about 40% when compared to previous door frames. The unique bottom-layer pull-push basket makes replenishing product more convenient and efficient. The E6 half-height glass door cabinet has a modern appearance and invisible door frame, designed to highlight the commodity on display. The low front height design increases display area.
Innovative frost-free technology allows customers to control temperature fluctuation in the cabinet to 0.2 degrees Celsius, thus improving the freshness of food, ensuring the quality and taste of food, and helping businesses to extend the shelf life and reduce inventory loss. It is also more energy efficient, reducing operating costs by approximately 10%. The series of cabinets includes convenient features such as frost-free technology, frost-free after negative temperature technology, and frost-free lunch and ice cream cabinets.
Carrier’s new CO2OLtec EVO systems with modulating ejector technology, assisted by a CO₂ pump, are performing at best-in-class efficiency levels with up to 30% annual energy consumption (AEC) reduction versus a standard transcritical system. The product has been utilized in over 100 applications, including supermarkets, convenience stores, cold storage and entertainment facilities featuring ice and snow. In China, the first CO₂ refrigeration comprehensive solution with adjustable ejectors and CO2 pumps recently went into operation in Chongqing.
“Our team is ready to meet customers’ requirements for CO₂ solutions, including design, installation, commissioning and service. Our new technology is ideal for storage, food processing and sports venues under various weather conditions,” said Joanne Lu (Lu Shen), managing director, Carrier Commercial Refrigeration.
The SPI+ system covers the entire series of cabinets. Compared with the previous generation, the refrigerant charge amount is significantly reduced by nearly 80%, copper pipe leakage amount by 96%, energy savings of 25%.
The medium and low temperature air-cooling and hydro-cooling all variable speed solution satisfies various business formats and is applicable to all frozen and refrigerated food categories. It requires no mechanical room and can be adjusted to various property conditions. In addition, the side and top air outlets of the air-cooled all variable speed unit is fully covered.
