The leading Ukrainian beverage company Sandora, a member of PepsiCo, is in 2011 purchasing 14,000 hydrocarbon refrigerators designed for commercial displays in shops and supermarkets. The units will be equipped with an energy management device co-developed with Danfoss for further energy conservation. The initiative is estimated to save almost 8 MW per year, equal to more than 5.5 metric tons of CO2.
As mentioned by www.holodunion.ru (a specialized information portal on the Russian HVAC&R industry) PepsiCo’s efforts to conduct business in sustainable ways have led Sandora to switch to commercial refrigerated glass-door display cabinets (2 x1 m) that run on ecologically safe and more efficient R600a (isobutane) refrigerant instead of climate damaging R134a.
Energy savings of 8MW/year
The R600a equipment consumes 20% less energy than equipment running on R134a refrigerant.
What is more, the new units are planned will be additionally equipped with the Energy-efficient Controllers developed by PepsiCo in cooperation with Danfoss that will help to save up to 40% of energy.
In case when the refrigerator is not opened during 3 hours, this energy management device switches the unit over to the power standby mode, turning off the light and ventilation of the storage box. Meanwhile, the inside temperature (+4 °С–+8 °С) required by the beverage company standards is maintained while the operation of the compressor is optimised.
The planned installation of 14,000 R600a units in 2011 will allow to save almost 8 MW energy per year, equal to more than 5.5 metric tones of CO2 per year. They are the latest step in PepsiCo's strategy to implement energy efficient solutions, after having installed HC cabinets already in Turkey, China, and Europe.
