Ultra’s MD – Steve Shipp on site with the Cold Chain Federation Chief Executive – ‘Be Energy Smart at any Temperature’.
“Hmmm… Why do we use the same methods to refrigerate warehouse chambers, cold rooms and retail display units in the winter as we do at the height of summer?
In the UK generally speaking 100+ days of the year at least some of the day/night the temperature is 2 degree C or lower. Ultra Refrigeration Ltd‘s iAIR system is designed to pull in cold air and use it to reduce the amount of ‘mechanical’ refrigeration needed. the result is significant reduction in energy use and less waste heat.
It was fascinating to see first hand – thanks to Steve Shipp for taking the time to show us one of his systems in action at a retail store today.
As we face into an energy crisis that is not just for today but for the long term it is the innovative ideas of people like Steve that will help us to take control of our costs.
The best way for cold chain operators to take control of energy costs is to use less of it today, tomorrow and for the long term.”
Shane Brennan – CEO at The Cold Chain Federation
