Research conducted by The AFE Group (AFE) shows that substantial savings are achievable in the foodservice industry by switching to energy efficient equipment.
Williams Refrigeration, part of AFE has always lead the way in environmental awareness. with the first CFC -free commercial refrigerator.Over 20 years later, Williams continues to focus on environmental solutions with a number of ECA accredited cabinets including Jade, Sapphire and Garnet ranges offering up to 40% energy saving on standard cabinets.
Williams CoolSmart Controller
Williams unique intelligent CoolSmart Controller enables the user to achieve up to 15% energy savings by utilising a wide range of features developed to enhance energy efficiency across most Williams products.
Features include:
- Intelligent thinking that enables the controller to detect changes in usage i.e frequent door openings to initiate economy mode in times of low usage i.e overnight
- A reactive refrigeration system - minimising energy usage without compromising food safety.
- Control parameters that can be set to achieve maximum system efficiency in working environments.
- Number of compressor starts that can be limited resulting in reduced wear and tear and increased compressor life.
- 'Intelligent defrost' - controller initiates defrost when the system actually needs it, increasing performance and efficiency of the evaporator.
Energy Efficient Flexible Working Solutions
With one of the widest most flexible product ranges and, for larger quantities our dedicated Research and Development team will work closely with customers to design products to meet their specific requirements.
As well as offering flexibility for users in the working environment many of our product options also increase energy efficiency:
