Summary

The reduction of TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) for beer coolers focuses on minimising energy consumption. The energy consumption for cooling draught beer in the hospitality trade can be reduced by using a controller which will effectively result in low switching frequency whilst maintaining the ice bank. During rest periods, the energy consumption decreases by 30%. Well-considered ice bank dimensioning allows the application of smaller compressors which further decreases energy consumption. The natural refrigerant R260 proved to have hardly any impact on the TEWI.
