管理食品零售业的运营效率 - 5种全球趋势以及如何回应

To optimize refrigeration efficiency, it’s important to match capacity to demand. Too much cooling, and you waste energy; too little, and you risk system damage and food loss. An adaptive case controller, like the Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® series, can balance refrigeration performance to the load. And our Adaptive Superheat Control algorithm maintains the minimal stable superheat, so there’s always just enough cooling.

高级控制器通过系统管理器连接到Internet和Compressor Pack控制器。它们也易于使用，简化了现代制冷系统的复杂性，因此您可以专注于优化效率。

Connecting your refrigeration system to the cloud is not just a trend. It offers a world of possibilities to save money and improve food safety. Remote monitoring and management make it easy to check and triage system alarms, giving priority to those with an immediate impact on costs or potential food loss. What’s more, it’s possible to fix some issues remotely—cutting unnecessary callouts by up to 30%.

There are also longer-term savings. Benchmarking performance data using an online dashboard can help optimize efficiency and save costs across a retail chain. Soon, it will be possible to use big data to predict exactly which equipment is at risk of failure, before it happens.

您选择的制冷剂对您的成本产生了重大影响，而不是安装，而是商店的寿命。例如，二氧化碳曾经被视为一种昂贵的选择，最好用于冷环境温度。但是，随着丹佛斯多喷射器解决方案等新技术，它使其成为所有气候和商店尺寸的可行选择，现在它越来越受欢迎。

The shifting legislation around refrigerants means options with high global warming potential (hundreds or even thousands of times higher than CO2) can quickly become expensive, highly taxed, and difficult to obtain. In this context, a natural, low-GWP alternative could be a good long-term choice.

Every cost saving is valuable, and yet most retailers pay to run a heating and hot water system, while a separate refrigeration system releases heat into the atmosphere. Treating these facilities as an integrated solution can reduce a store’s carbon footprint, while reducing installation and operating costs. When integrated, a store’s refrigeration system can usually supply all its heat too—even eliminating the need for a boiler.

This integration was once difficult to achieve. However, the rising popularity of CO2 is making it more common—while Danfoss’s purpose-built Heat Recovery Unit helps to eliminate the technical challenge.

It can also be a good idea to build air conditioning and ventilation into the refrigeration system—that way, you can get the additional cooling load almost free of charge.

随着超市在能源效率方面的提高，在管理需求模式中，越来越快的成本降低。减少最高负载的时刻可以帮助降低一年中剩余时间的商店的能源价格，并可以节省基础设施，例如使用较小的变压器。

在某些情况下，这种灵活性可以使零售商从其能源提供商那里获得激励措施。公用事业公司越来越多地寻求帮助，以使能源生产与需求相匹配 - 降低了非高峰能源或寻求临时减少电力使用以管理短期“需求响应”事件。

有几种方法可以实现这一目标 - 例如，使用电池库，更改维护时间表或热量存储能量。这可能包括预冷冷冻机或使用制冰单元加载过多的可再生能源。
