Deeply refrigerated - highly ecological
At AHT Cooling Systems, environmental protection has always been a key issue and is rated highly when developing innovative, energy-saving plug-in freezers for the food retail market.
AHT COOLING SYSTEMS – the market leader in plug-in refrigerated cabinets for the food retail market – is the first company to succeed at manufacturing plug-in freezers that are completely free of fluorocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) for use in the commercial sector.
This exciting innovation comprises three main points:
- The use of the natural refrigerant, propane, results in a completely CFC and FC free solution.
- The use of speed controlled compressors ensures energy savings of around 25% compared to conventional plug-in freezers.
- The maintenance-free, automatic defrosting of the inner walls of the cabinet contributes to additional cost savings.
By using propane gas as a refrigerant and by using insulating foam without CFCs and FCs, these appliances result in absolutely no environmental pollution. That way, the demands raised by environmentalists regarding protection of the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect are met in full. Furthermore, this strategy has a future, because even today, more than 50,000 AHT ice-cream units with this refrigeration technology are already in the marketplace and performing well.
The new generation of AHT appliances score additional points due to their tremendous energy savings potential. In contrast to conventional compressors, a speed controlled compressor is used, which uses its electronic control unit to adapt to the exact refrigeration need. This revolutionary system ensures energy savings of around 25% compared to conventional plug-in freezers.
Automatic defrosting means you no longer have to remove the goods and manually defrost the chests. Since the legally stipulated temperature is not exceeded during the defrosting phase, the quality of the goods remains unchanged.
