Danfoss organized one day seminars in Bangalore and Delhi for key retailers and consultants in retail industry. The sessions were directed at introducing latest food retail products like pack controllers for compressors and new generation electronic expansion valves that regulate refrigerant flow. The seminars threw light on measures to enhance food safety and achieve energy savings through energy efficient food retail solutions. Danfoss solutions for four key retail applications – supermarkets, convenience stores, controlled atmosphere and banana ripening were showcased at
the venues. Danfoss solutions offer optimum pack control integrating variable speed drives and options for heat recovery for systems of all size and any refrigerant. 30% of the energy consumed in supermarkets is guzzled by HVAC systems, 21% for lighting and a whopping 41% for refrigeration,
with eight per cent for other func-tions and facilities. The potential for energy savings exists in the forms of evaporator efficiency; compressor and condenser effi-ciency; fan, rail heat and defrost efficiency; and heat recovery (HVAC).
