Refrigeration systems are critical to preserving perishable goods and maintaining smooth operations in commercial settings. At Electrofrost, we are revolutionizing refrigeration by integrating advanced KE2 technology into existing equipment or offering new systems with KE2 capabilities. By combining precision engineering with innovative control strategies, KE2 technology significantly reduces downtime, enhances efficiency, and provides long-term savings.
Challenges with Traditional Refrigeration Systems
Frost buildup is a major inefficiency in traditional refrigeration systems. It insulates the evaporator coil, forcing the system to work harder and consume more energy. Additionally, traditional defrost methods such as timed cycles or electric heaters can create problems, including:
Excessive Energy Use: Defrost heaters often run unnecessarily.
Temperature Fluctuations: Repeated defrost cycles lead to inconsistent cooling, damaging product quality.
Shortened Equipment Life: Constant stress on components increases wear and tear.
How KE2 Technology Transforms Refrigeration
KE2 technology addresses these challenges with precision control, advanced algorithms, and real-time monitoring.
1. Intelligent Defrost Management
Traditional systems rely on time-based defrost cycles, which are often unnecessary. KE2 technology uses a demand-driven approach, monitoring evaporator efficiency in real time. It only initiates defrost when frost buildup reduces efficiency below 90%, reducing the number of defrost cycles by up to 84%.
2. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
KE2 systems incorporate:
Advanced Fan Control: Fans operate only as needed, reducing compressor runtime.
Superheat Control: When paired with an Electric Expansion Valve (EEV), KE2 controllers optimize refrigerant flow and energy use, saving up to 50% on energy costs compared to traditional controls.
Heat Recovery: KE2 technology captures residual energy from the coil, using it to maintain cooling without restarting the compressor.
3. Consistent Temperature Control
By minimizing defrost cycles and managing fans intelligently, KE2 technology reduces temperature fluctuations. This consistency preserves product integrity, prevents freezer burn, and eliminates issues like frost and ice buildup on floors, walls, and fixtures.
4. Remote Monitoring and Alerts
Equipped with KE2 SmartAccess, these systems provide 24/7 remote monitoring and control via web portals. Alarms and notifications can be sent via email or text, alerting operators to potential issues before they affect performance or product temperature.
Features and Benefits of KE2 Technology
