SMART Refrigeration

The theory of refrigeration is simple… by maintaining the temperature of the ‘air’ inside the cabinet at a preset level it is anticipated that the food will also take on the same temperature. However, because air has a completely different thermal characteristic to almost all food products it is quite normal for the owner/operator to routinely take temperature samples of the stored food products via a hand held probe to ensure food is correctly preserved.

So… we know that ‘air’ temperature is not an accurate measure of ‘food’ temperature. Air entering a refrigerated space has very little thermal energy compared to the significantly greater thermal mass of most food products, and yet each time a door is opened and warm air comes into contact with the thermostat, there can be a fairly immediate response which leads to the compressor being energised even though the temperature of the food has not changed.

SMARTech Cooling has a SMART solution – SMART refrigeration energy saving solutions which is a temperature monitoring product designed to improve the efficiency of refrigeration systems by up to 33%, plus improve equipment performance and reliability.

At the same time SMART Refrigeration is also providing more accurate control of the temperature of stored food products.
