25%energy savingscombining professional cooling control and advanced monitoring

Cool monitoringRefreshing energy savings Total energy solutions for convenience stores

Take control of your refrigeration, HVAC and lighting and cut energy consumption by up to 25% Looking for ways to efficiently cut costs in your store? Danfoss Food Retail’s dedicated system solution offers you up to 25% savings in energy consumption through centralised control and monitoring of your refrigeration, HVAC and lighting applications.

The heart and soul of the solution is a unique front end system manager, the AK-CS. The system manager is dedicated to typical applications found in convenience stores, petrol forecourts and other small format stores.

In addition to controlling the temperature in serve-over counters, display cabinets and cold rooms individually, the AK-CS also monitors every activity in the system and stores the data for extended management.

This allows you to quickly identify any temperature irregularity or operation malfunction – which makes for even more sustainable cost-cutting benefits: • Reduced need for expensive maintenance• Improved food quality and presentation • Reduced food waste and/or loss.

The best part is that a single AK-CS front end system manager can be connected to a variety of energy-consuming utilities, without increasing the investment cost. So take control of power consumption and get ready for sustainable energy savings that will benefit your bottom line as well as the environment.

The payback time of a system solution that will cut energy consumption by up to 25% in your store can be as little as 1.5 years.

Optimise with advanced centralised monitoringDanfoss Food Retail’s front end system manager, the AK-CS, offers multiple control, monitoring and management opportunities for you as a store owner or energy manager. Most importantly, the AK-CS allows you to keep track of what is going on in your store facilities systems 24/7, making real time recordings of:

• Temperature performance in counters, display cabinets, and cold room storage

• Temperature alarm logs • Defrost control (initiation/termination)• Light levels and schedules (internal and external)• In-store humidity and ambient temperature (A/C)• Power consumption (kWh) overall and/or by section or assets• HACCP status• Refrigeration leakage status and alarms (F-Gas)• Other utilities (e.g. water consumption).

All process data are logged within the AK-CS, or can be downloaded to your computer files, offering you easy access to relevant information at all times – for inspection, for trouble-shooting, or for comparison of assets or stores/estate. All it takes is a web-browser and password.

In case of a malfunction in the system you are automatically alerted and able to respond immediately according to needs. Another significant advantage is the fact that your system can be accessed remotely, allowing you or your preferred contractors to view the same screen from a different computer base. This makes it possible to identify, and in many cases correct, a problem remotely, without the need for a site visit. Which will in turn save you money!

Danfoss Food Retail’s system solution for convenience stores is equally suitable for individual stores as for a chain of stores and petrol forecourt stores, where it is desirable to monitor and compare store activities centrally.
