Energy Management

Managing and reducing energy usage is a priority for most businesses, and a particular concern for anyone using commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.

Whether it is major supermarket groups, food processing plants or pharmaceutical companies, refrigeration is a major source of energy consumption and cost – typically accounting for more than 50% of all energy consumption. It follows that reducing the level of energy use delivers important outcomes for these businesses in terms of both their environmental commitments and their cost management priorities.

RCS specialises in developing products which specifically address these issues, having focused our research and development work in this area over many years. Across a typical installation RCS delivers significant energy savings by deploying technologies such as:

• Sophisticated energy-saving algorithms, ensuring efficient and appropriate use of compressors, condensing fans and other energy-intensive items of refrigerant plant;
• Variable energy use depending on time of day, ambient temperature and demands on the system, delivered through management of night setback modes and sophisticated discharge / suction pressure control;
• Exception reporting and alarm generation of night blind, lighting and other energy critical criteria across a single store or entire store estates, inclusive of satellite installations.
• Individual product features such as the integrated adaptive trim control and regulation in our latest Eden controller range, dramatically reducing consumption in these high-energy heating units.
