Virtual Event

Commercial refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerated display cabinets, beverage coolers, ice cream freezers and vending machines, is essential for the storage or display of foodstuffs in the retail and food service sectors. Over 120 million units were estimated to be in operation worldwide in 2010.

It is projected that by 2040, the electricity consumption for an ever-growing stock of commercial refrigeration will increase by nearly 40%. Fortunately, technologies are widely available to improve energy efficiency and use refrigerants with a lower global warming potential.
