Embraco Showcases Innovations in Medical Refrigeration at ATMOsphere America 2018
Fullmotion compressor ensures stable temperature for blood and
vaccine refrigeration and helps decrease energy consumption by 55 percent
Today at ATMOsphere
America 2018, Embraco,
a global company that promotes quality of life through innovative
cooling solutions, announced that it will offer its natural refrigerant
solutions for the medical refrigeration industry with the FMX Compressor
as part of a collaboration with its customer, Helmer Scientific. Embraco
will also showcase products and discuss U.S. market trends in the
natural refrigeration industry during the conference.
Embraco Fullmotion FMXA4C Compressor Achieves Unprecedented Levels
of Energy Efficiency
John Prall, Embraco’s Technical Support Engineer for North America, will
be presenting with Chengzhi Tang, PhD, Senior Refrigeration Engineer
from Helmer Scientific on Wednesday, June 13 at 11:30 a.m. The
presentation will outline why natural refrigerants such as R290 and
R600a can significantly reduce energy consumption and offer more
sustainable, flexible and cost-efficient refrigeration solution for
light commercial applications including medical refrigeration.
The Fullmotion FMXA4C Compressor is designed to enable medical-grade
refrigeration that uses less energy and reduces sound output:
● Reduce environmental impact due to CO2 emissions by 91
percent.
● Decrease refrigerant charge by 37 percent.
● Decrease energy consumption by 55 percent.
● Reduce sound output by 37 percent.
● Decrease temperature pull down time by 21 percent.
● Improve temperature uniformity by 105 percent.
Precise temperature stability is crucial in clinical settings for the
storage of refrigerated blood, medications and vaccines. The Embraco
Fullmotion compressor uses variable speed technology to ensure the
refrigeration energy delivers accurate and consistent temperatures to
safeguard sensitive and expensive products. Embraco sells solutions to
refrigerate blood and vaccines and has served the medical refrigeration
market for more than ten years in the North American and Japanese
markets, among others.
“We were able to develop a complete and innovative solution to solve the
needs of our customer,” said John Prall, Embraco’s Technical Support
Engineer for North America. “Since noise level was important for the end
user, we were able to combine our technology knowledge and experience to
create a significantly quieter alternative to the traditional compressor
while also reducing the environmental impact with the use of a natural
refrigerant.”
Helmer Scientific serves healthcare customers in more than 130 countries
from its US-based headquarters. “We are excited that our partnership
with Embraco will help us develop enhanced solutions that support global
environmental sustainability initiatives,” said Dennis Smith, Helmer
Scientific’s Vice President of Research and Development. “Combining our
expertise in medical-grade refrigeration with Embraco’s FMX compressor
will enable reductions in energy use and sound levels while maintaining
our focus on the performance, quality and reliability of our systems.”
U.S. Natural Refrigeration Market Trends
Embraco will also be presenting industry and market trends related to
the commercial segment, best practices for the selection and application
of solutions, and new innovations in compressor technology on Tuesday,
June 12 at 2:00 p.m.
With more than 30% of the U.S. light commercial market already migrated
to R-290, sustainable solutions are becoming more mainstream. Embraco
will highlight how retailers are using natural refrigerants to meet
long-term standards and why versatility and flexibility are key
requirements retailers should look for when choosing new equipment.
Embraco Showcases Innovation in Natural Refrigerants
Plug n’ Cool was designed as a drop-in solution for reach-in
refrigerators with a simplified installation process. The innovative
design improves the experience for customers and OEMs, food retail
chains and even consumers by increasing the flexibility of the store’s
architecture. The Plug n’ Cool uses R290 natural refrigerant which
complies with US standards and was specifically designed with top
efficiency components. This solution delivers a significant positive
effect on the environment while contributing to a reduction in energy
usage.
FMXA4C Fullmotion Compressor represents the latest generation of
solutions with variable speed technology. It provides better temperature
control, produces unprecedented low noise levels, operates on a wider
voltage range and delivers the company’s commitment to optimizing energy
efficiency. The compact compressor is designed to be used with the
natural refrigerant R600a.
