The energy efficiency of refrigerated installations, an economic, technological and environmental issue.

Number: 331277

Author(s) : TESSON J. E.

Summary

The energy efficiency of refrigerated installations is a major challenge for the cold chain in the next few years for multiple reasons.
The French Charles TELLIER was the first in the world to use the cold in the conservation of meats, thus inaugurating the first cold chain. Since then, the technology for producing cold has made significant progress in improving the quality, the preservation and the safety of food.
However, for more than a century, with the exception of a few freezing processes, the industry and the logistics of cold have exclusively resorted to the production of cold by compression. While improvements have been made over the decades, no major innovations have really been made in a century.
The innovation potential in the cold sector is significant, but skills are often too scattered between those that reduce cold consumption and those that improve the performance coefficient or even the purchase of electricity.
