As the retail landscape evolves with the rise of online shopping and the growing trend of smaller, more convenient stores, SCM Frigo has developed a cutting-edge product designed to meet these new demands. The SCM Lean Booster is a highly versatile and innovative refrigeration solution created to serve convenience stores, supermarkets, and industrial applications. With a compact design and advanced features, it ensures optimal performance while adapting to the unique requirements of modern refrigeration needs.
Key Features and Applications
The SCM Lean Booster offers a range of capacity options and configurations to ensure flexibility across various settings:
-
Capacity Range:
- Medium Temperature (MT): 15-130 kW
- Low Temperature (LT): 3-28 kW
- Suction Group Options: MT only / LT only / MT + LT / MT + IT + LT
-
Highlights:
- Compact design with all components accessible from one side, enabling installation against a wall.
- Available in both indoor and "plug’n cool" versions for added flexibility.
Innovative Options and Configurations
To meet the diverse needs of different environments, the Lean Booster offers several advanced options:
- Parallel Compressor Configuration: Provides enhanced redundancy and efficiency.
- Digital Capacity Modulation: Ensures precise cooling control.
- Warm Climate Add-ons: Includes options like mechanical subcoolers, parallel compressors, water-spray, adiabatic systems, and low-pressure ejectors for efficient operation in hot climates.
- Heat Recovery: Available for both tap water and heating applications, boosting energy savings.
- A/C Load with Flooded Evaporator: Offers comfort cooling applications.
- Outdoor Units: Includes options for outdoor enclosed units, with or without integrated gas coolers.
Overcoming Warm Climate Challenges
The Lean Booster is designed to handle the challenges of warm climates through smart system design and continuous improvements:
- Improved System Design: Features larger heat exchangers, optimized pipe layouts, and integrated secondary loops for better stability.
- Smarter Controls: Uses advanced software and sensors for real-time monitoring and predictive adjustments.
- Better Heat Rejection: Optimized condensers ensure efficient heat rejection, reducing energy consumption and increasing reliability.
- Continuous Monitoring and Maintenance: Regular monitoring of system pressure, temperature, and performance metrics ensures smooth operation and reduces downtime.
Customization for Real-World Needs
A real-world example of SCM Frigo’s adaptability is the customization of the Lean Booster for one of the world's top-rated food retailers. To meet the specific needs of a smaller machinery room, the electrical panel was detached from the compressor chassis and mounted on a wall, connected by an extended electrical cable. In even tighter spaces, the electrical panel can be attached to the back of the compressors, maintaining easy access for maintenance.
Looking to the Future
The SCM Lean Booster is poised to become a game-changer in refrigeration solutions, offering unrivaled flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability. Whether in small stores or large industrial settings, this innovative product line provides tailored refrigeration solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses today and into the future.
