 Frigesco Directors | Frigesco will be presenting the latest developments on its energy saving system for refrigeration equipment to investors and policy makers at the ‘CleanEquity’ event in Monaco in early March. |
Frigesco won ‘Refrigeration Product of the Year’ at the recent National ACR Awards in Birmingham for its flash defrost technology, which impressed the judges with its innovation. The technology collects waste heat in retail refrigeration systems, which it used for ‘low energy defrosting’. In turn, this can lower the energy needed for cooling in supermarkets by 20%.

“It is another important step in our journey to develop and communicate the benefits of flash defrost. The results from the first field trials are now beginning to come back, and as anticipated prove the outstanding efficiency of the system.
“We are now talking to some of the world’s largest retailers and manufacturers about the next steps in implementing flash defrost. After four years of research and development and proving trials, we believe 2015 will be an important year for us and provide the springboard for commercial take off.”
Frigesco is extending the scope of its flash defrost systems now into air source heat pump technology. The company recently won funding from DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) to develop the technology to work with air source heat pumps.
Working with heat pump manufacturer Glen Dimplex in a joint venture, they will be working on how apply the technology to make heat pumps an even more sustainable and efficient solution for heating and cooling.
