Fridge Saver – Fact Sheet
Fridge Saver – Saving 15% to 30% of Refrigeration Energy Consumption
Fridge Saver designed to monitor your produce temperature within your refrigeration system and to ensure it is cooled within accepted guidelines of product temperature, saving up to 30% of energy costs.
Simply insert any kind of temperature probe of refrigeration safe thermometer into the specially formulated produce simulant inside the Fridge Saver.
Now you will be recording the temperature of produce (similar to placing the probe or thermometer into any piece of produce in the refrigerator).
The simulant will last for many years and will not wither or dry within the specially designed refrigeration safe container, the system is certified to stay at the same temperature as produce (within 2 degrees F below and 5 degrees F above of produce temperatures, which is a widely accepted variance in the food industry).
Use it to control you Refrigeration Cycles:
Simply insert your Air on/Air Off probes into the Fridge Saver and your refrigeration will now respond to “Certified Product Temperatures” and not “Air Temperature”.
The Fridge Saver is certified as operating at precisely the temperature of produce there is no guess work, no maintenance & no control issues, allowing you to set you “Set Point” correctly and leave the rest to the Fridge Saver.
Fridge Saver – Key Benefits
The Fridge Saver is a cube of product simulant is “specifically designed, formulated and certified” to change temperature at the same rate as food produce.
It is contained in a certified “Refrigeration Safe” plastic which has been specifically designed to callow the simulant to cool or warm at the same rate as food produce.
The simulant will give you a temperature reading of produce 10mm below the surface of the produce (NSF Certified as being maximum of 2 degrees F below and 5 degrees F above a wide range of control products) a generally an acceptable level of variance.
The simulant is highly durable lasting many years and is totally safe (even edible). The Fridge Saver is already widely used in conjunction with most food groups including dairy or other liquids on many thousands of installations.
The globally patented system is contained in a compact and unobtrusive package making it a must for those in the food industry providing the following key benefits.
1. By inserting a refrigeration air on / off probe into the Fridge Saver you ensure your refrigeration operates on the basis of food temperature, not air temperature. Since food changes temperature far slower than air, your refrigerator will ‘cycle’ far less often. As a direct result, your average energy consumption will reduce by up to 30% as well as an impressive Carbon Footprint reduction.
Better & safer than using ‘dampers’ or logic systems as these systems work by operating the required “refrigeration against the temperature” and not by the alternatively certified of measuring the “temperature against the produce” itself.
2. The refrigerator will start less often (typically 60-80% less often) this will dramatically reduce your refrigeration energy consumption and costs. Maintenance costs are also reduced. When the compressor starts it will come on for longer periods.
The results show that the refrigerator starts are smoother, the refrigeration is typically better balanced and the refrigerants have time to circulate properly. Compressor failures are dramatically reduced. Overall service condition improves.
3. The food is stored at a more stable, consistent and safer temperature. Afer all it is now being maintained by product temperature not air temperature. A common result is that your food will last longer and even taste better than before.
4. The ROI can be between three months (Cold Rooms) and eighteen months (Small commercial refrigerators). This ROI is calculated on Electricity alone without accounting for maintenance or produce savings. The more energy consumption, the more energy saved, the faster the financial payback.
5. The point of measuring “air temperature” in refrigeration? Legislation and industry seem to focus on air temperature at the moment, but new legislation increasingly demands to take into account the “Product Temperatures” and not “Air Temperatures” for cooling measurement. The Fridge Saver gives you precisely that, simply insert the existing system probe or thermometer into the Fridge Saver to read accurate “product temperatures” whenever you need to, manually or automatically whilst reducing consumption.
The Fridge Saver derived from a technology range which is patented, designed, manufactured and certified to measure product temperature.
