The forecast growth in demand for food of over 60 % by 2050 will lead to a significant increase in food storage infrastructure. The development of sustainable, efficient solutions with a low environmental impact represents one of the main challenges for the industrial refrigeration sector.
With specific reference food cold chain applications, the adoption of innovative technologies and algorithms is aimed at minimising food waste, through strategies that guarantee optimal food preservation.
One example is represented by the solutions offered by CAREL for packaged units operating on R-290 for cold rooms, allowing customers to adopt standard high-efficiency technologies or create custom solutions.
Optimised and stable temperature control are supported by IoT monitoring solutions, such as local supervisory systems or cloud services, which report any anomalies or alarms to ensure prompt service and minimise the risk of food loss. CAREL’s solutions also feature interaction via apps for simpler installation, maintenance and optimisation of the units.
Rivacold's BEST R-290 packaged units integrate CAREL technology, offering flexible, high-efficiency solutions for both wall and ceiling installation. Simple installation and advanced connectivity via app and cloud services reduce service and maintenance times.
The implementation of custom control algorithms guarantees optimal temperature control, maximising the efficiency of the BEST units in every stage of operation.
