The Gram BAKER range is perfect for bakery kitchens looking for large capacity combined with professional results.

The Stream series of CO2 compressors is the ideal solution for R744 medium and low temperature cascade and booster systems. It is characterized by a design pressure of 135 bar. Refrigerant flow and heat transfer have been optimized for best performance. The release of the large platform with 50 horsepower extends the range of the Stream series. All compressors are equipped with modular CoreSense™ technology for advanced protection, diagnostics, communication and power monitoring.

In response to the challenges faced with the F-Gas regulations, Emerson has invested in expanding its offering of controls range and releasing them for alternative refrigerants. These include natural refrigerants such as CO2 and propane as well as other low GWP refrigerants such as R1270, R32, R452B, R454B etc. The range of mechanical controls, electronic controllers and monitoring software complement the compressor offering and enable Emerson to offer a full solution for commercial refrigeration applications.

The new line of Copeland™ Scroll compressors for use with low GWP A2L refrigerants features a fully hermetic design and complies with the F-Gas regulation. The highly efficient scroll technology provides low TEWI ratings and can be used in medium and low-temperature commercial refrigeration applications such as condensing units, pack & rack systems, display cases, ice machines and cold room units.

In addition to the existing fixed speed compressors for integral display cases with R290, Emerson has developed a horizontal variable speed compressor including drive for single circuit systems. The parametric and programmable controllers are designed for variable speed management and ensure an optimal performance of the cabinets. Additionally, Emerson offers special flow controls with all the safety and regulatory aspects considered.

The Copeland EazyCool™ series of large outdoor condensing units offers multiple solutions for decentralized refrigeration, addressing the needs of food retailers, from urban shops and convenience stores over discount stores to supermarkets - for medium and for low-temperature applications. Designed to the high quality standards of the retail industry, they are equipped with advanced electronic protection and control features. The offered remote monitoring capabilities can be integrated into the store's monitoring system.

Throughout the world, different cold stores have different configurations, but none can fully resolve a problem common to all cold store operators - FROST! Water and ice create dangerous slippery conditions in the loading dock with ice building up and around the store entrances. Ice also builds up around the inside of the cold store, including the intake to the evaporator coils and the components critical for maintaining products at sub zero temperatures. This creates the need for constant defrosts and stretches the capability of the cooling apacity of your equipment, whislt using a great deal of energy. Safety issues can arise when fog forms around door entrances, cauing poor visibility. Snow accumulates on product, creating the potential for collapsing cases. Ice and snow also build up on cold store ceilings and floots with the potential to fall on people, and form dangerous uneven floors for fork lift trucks carrying loads at speed. The reduced visibility from fog also increases loading times.

In July 2018, Daikin Airconditioning UK Ltd launched two ground-breaking service packages that will guarantee the cost of R410A refrigerant. The packages are at a set fee until 31st March 2019, when purchased together with new VRV systems.

We are pleased to announce that we have been appointed Hubbard Distributors.

A couple of years earlier than expected, 2018 is proving to be a critical year for the entire Refrigeration and Air Conditioning sector. European Regulation 517/2014 provides for a gradual reduction (Phase Down), from 2015, in the use of HFC refrigerants by refrigeration equipment manufacturers. In, this reduction imposed by the legislation must amount to 37% during the current year, while the subsequent steep drop to 45% is to be achieved by 2020. However, we are witnessing a dramatic acceleration of the Phase Down process, in large part due to difficulty in obtaining the most common HFC refrigerants and the consequent sudden and dramatic increase in prices, in accordance with the well-known market rules of supply and demand. This situation is directly controlled by the multinational refrigerant gas producers that have implemented a political and commercial strategy of strong obstruction to the use of widely used refrigerants such as R410a, R134a and R404a. This has effectively forced the entire sector to find and introduce alternative refrigeration fluids.

Six J & E Hall Fusion commercial condensing units are playing a key role at a Cumbrian bakery which previously suffered a devastating fire. J & E Hall equipment was chosen for the two yeast chiller rooms and the vitally important area where crumpets have to be carefully cooled under controlled conditions.
