Energy Saving Retrofits for Cold Chain Facilities: Keeping Temperatures Stable While Cutting Bills

Refrigerated trucks used in cold chain logistics for energy efficient retrofits

Modern cold storage warehouses operate on incredibly thin profit margins. Massive electricity bills destroy that profitability every single month. Facility managers face immense pressure from corporate boards to cut operational costs. However, they cannot risk a single thermal excursion. One equipment failure can ruin millions of rupees worth of sensitive inventory. You must find the […]

EC Motors in Sub-Zero Cold Storage: The Thermal Frontier

The Challenge of Sub-Zero Physics Operating mechanical and electronic equipment at cold-chain temperatures of -20°C or -40°C alters the fundamental behaviour of materials. Design engineers must account for three primary chokepoints. Image 1:  Failure Mode Pie Chart Failure mode distribution for standard electrical motors in sub-zero applications. Research indicates that moisture ingress and related insulation […]
