Major wholesaler, retailer cools off with eco-friendly refrigerated solution
Carnot Refrigeration, Canada, was hired by a major wholesaler and retailer in Canada to develop an alternative to the conventional refrigerated systems available on the market. The goal was to provide an eco-friendly refrigeration solution that would be cost-effective and efficient, yet could be integrated successfully into the building and easily understood by personnel. The wholesaler/retailer evaluated initial capital cost and operational costs, such as energy consumption, maintenance and insurance. Successful building integration utilized Carnot’s unique heat recovery process, which offsets auxiliary heating, to provide year-after-year financial savings.
