Regardless of the brand, technologies used or design, when it comes to purchasing a new refrigeration equipment, energy efficiency is one of the determining factors.

This leads to financial and energy savings, but also indicates a responsible behavior towards the enviroment. In recent decades, using state-of-the-art electronic systems in combination with ultra-efficient cooling systems, Topk Alimentare has taken its selection of refrigeration systems to another level, offering both precision electronics and advanced refrigeration technology, in order to provide new vertical showcases in the most energy efficient class - A. Moreover, Topk offers one of the most efficient professional horeca refrigerators, which consume no more than a light bulb.

Frenox 1 door vertical refrigerator has a consumption of only 0.96 kWh per day, this unit is ultra-economical and is part of the energy efficiency class A with up to 75% energy saved . Thanks to the innovative components, the new vertical refrigerated cabinet redefines energy efficiency - its consumption is equivalent to that of a 40 W light bulb.

Refrigerators and freezers with older technology consume 3 times more energy, which is felt on the electricity bill. Following the experiments carried out by the supplier and some calculations, it results that:

- Within 2 and a half years, the difference in acquisition cost is amortized .

- The economical refrigerated cabinet consumes around 330 kWh / year and the conventional one 1140 kWh / year.

- Considering the average cost of electricity for 2019 according to restartenergy.ro, it results that in one year a horeca ''green'' refrigerator consumes electricity worth 235 lei while a classic one consumes energy worth 820 lei. The average lifetime for professional refrigeration equipment is around 7 years, so it results that for the next almost 5 years of use substantial savings are made from the electricity bill.

Topk Utilaje Alimentare offers a wide range of energy efficient equipments, which belong to the highest energy efficiency class: A .

Here are some tips on the location, use and maintenance of refrigeration equipment.

Our tips:

1. Location is crucial

Never place the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven, cooking machine or radiator, and avoid direct sunlight. Always make sure that the refrigerator has sufficient ventilation, that maintenance is done in a timely manner so that the compressor does not start continuously.

2. It's about temperature

The optimum ambient temperature for the correct operation is + 43°C and 65% humidity. As a general rule, about 6% more energy is consumed for each additional degree. A correct temperature can directly save you money.

3. Attention! always close the door without delay

Each time the refrigerator door is opened, cold air comes out and air enters at room temperature. To compensate for the increase in temperature inside, the refrigerator must consume more energy to cool the air again. Always avoid opening the door for no reason or for a long time.

4. Put only cold food in the refrigerator

Never put hot food in the refrigerator because it will heat up the inside as well as other stored food. Hot food should always be cooled to room temperature before being stored in the refrigerator .

5. Regularly check rubber door seals

The rubber gasket is used for insulation and prevents heat exchange between the environment and the vertical refrigerator. It is important to regularly check this rubber gasket and make sure that it is intact and that it insulates correctly. Otherwise it must be changed immediately. Also make sure that stored food does not prevent the door from closing properly.
