Eco-efficiency considerations for European supermarket refrigeration systems.

Author(s) : DIEHLMANN A., STADTLÄNDER C., SCHWIEGEL M.

Summary

Within this study the eco-efficiency of 6 different concepts of supermarket refrigeration have been examined and compared. The data used for the survey is based on refrigerant-, component- and controls- manufacturers, plant constructors and supermarket operators and supplemented by real facility data. The results of the investigation illustrate that the main drivers for ecological and economic performance are the energy consumption of the refrigeration unit and the loss of refrigerants during operation. The study is able to identify the most eco-efficient refrigeration system and also shows optimization potentials through the investigated facilities. This paper summarises the results of the first step of a larger scope project. Subsequent publications will complement the results - especially with respect to optimisation potentials.
