Pastorfrigor in ZeroSottoZero Magazine – December 2017

Pastorfrigor innovates the refrigerated cabinet with a record-breaking micro-channel technology

Our Genova Panorama MC is featured in the Italian ZeroSottoZero magazine in which all its innovative characteristics are listed.

A technology borrowed from the automotive sector and optimized in the refrigeration sector: micro-channel technology, implemented by Pastorfrigor. As you can read in the article,

it regards a technical innovation in thermodynamics, already used in the automotive sector for over 20 years with excellent results. Pastorfrigor explains that «the idea was born about six years ago, with the aim of improving energy consumption and reducing the quantity of refrigerant, in order to comply with the new F-Gas regulations in good time. Pastorfrigor decided to start using microchannel-based condensers instead of tube-and-fin ones. This technology has enabled us to reduce the gas charge by approx. 30% in our systems, and improve energy consumption.»

Until now, the Genova Panorama MC is the only refrigerated cabinet longer than 2 meters with a single R290 circuit and gas charge lower than 150 grams in the world.

However, the most  remarkable feature is the reduced consumption: it has been reported an average saving ranging between 25 and 50%, savings in terms of energy costs by 47% (equal to 565 euro for model Genova LF2500 annually), as a result of a lower gas charge. Thanks to all these features, this refrigerated cabinet and its technology have been successful, both commercially and technically: in fact, it has been selected among the finalists of the RAC Cooling Industry Awards 2017.
