Energy expenditures are a significant factor in every foodservice operation’s operating costs, so energy-efficient equipment is a necessity these days.
To help operators keep their refrigeration costs down, Polar King is partnering with KE2 Therm Solutions to include their energy-efficient refrigeration technology in Polar King coolers and freezers.
The KE2 Therm Solutions system has an intelligent algorithm with the controller that runs the refrigeration system. It maximizes the system’s efficiency by monitoring the ambient room temperature and the evaporator coil and triggering a defrost only as necessary. That’s unlike many current systems, which defrost at arbitrary times during the day, whether the unit needs it or not.
That means the Polar King coolers and freezers deliver peak energy efficiency. The more precise temperature control means that stored product maintains its integrity longer, and the system’s remote monitoring capability helps alert the operator to any potential issues that may affect product life.
But that’s just one of the way Polar King coolers and freezers help operator keep their energy costs down. Unlike traditional metal panel boxes, they’re constructed from seamless, one-piece fiberglass which makes them leakproof and weather resistant. Outside temperatures don’t affect the Polar King units because fiberglass does not conduct heat, so the unit stays cooler.
All Polar King walk-ins arrive fully assembled and ready to operate, and are backed by a five-year warranty on the compressor and 12-year warranty on the entire structure. This combination of durability, convenience and energy efficiency are why Polar King walk-ins are the choice of smart operators.
