Intelligent use of waste heat from
refrigeration cabinets used in
food retailing can save both
energy and costs. The Daikin Europe
Conveni-pack is a mass produced allin-
one system that uses all waste heat
generated through refrigeration heat
within commercial food outlets. The
100th system to be marketed in
Germany is installed in a branch of
denn’s Biomarkt (an organic
supermarket chain).
The chain wanted a solution that
would offer an integrated approach
for cooling, heating and airconditioning.
Conveni-pack has
enabled it to do without fossil fuels,
to benefit from an energy saving of
20-30% and reduce CO2, compared
to older branches still using
conventional units.
Four supermarkets were fitted
with the R-407c refrigerant operated
model. The second generation
Conveni-pack, with new compressor
technology and a new cooling agent
management system, has been on the
market since May 2010. This newer
R-410A operated system ensures
efficient operation with low energy
consumption and, when compared
to the earlier model, reduces running
costs further – by an average of 18%.
