DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillphoenix®, part of Dover Food Retail and Dover (NYSE: DOV), recently announced its new InviroPak™ Horizontal Indoor Distributed Refrigeration System solution. Aimed at helping food retailers reduce refrigeration costs and improve profit margins, InviroPak™ can be used as a central system for smaller stores or a distributed system for larger retail stores. Designed for indoor use and available in multiple sizes, it can be placed anywhere in the back of the store, freeing up valuable floor space for potential new sales.
With refrigeration and lighting making up more than 75 percent of electricity consumption in traditional food retail stores, many food retailers are reducing their footprints to cut costs. At the same time, small format stores are growing to meet increasing customer demand. InviroPak’s horizontal design and flexibility helps food retailers meet all of these needs.
“With the addition of the Horizontal InviroPak to our distributed systems portfolio, we are providing food retailers with another refrigeration system option that enables them to achieve lower overall cost of ownership and more efficient operations,” said Subodh Sharma, Director, Product Management: Systems, Small Format & Self-Contained.
InviroPak’s key benefits include the following:
Reduces Refrigerant Costs: Used as a distributed system by larger format stores, InviroPak can be located closer to the loads to reduce refrigerant and piping costs. For smaller footprint supermarkets, it serves as a central system, allowing the retailer to handle all of the store refrigeration requirements with one system. This reduces the cost of installing multiple single condensing units. And because InviroPak’s compact design uses fewer brazed joints, there are fewer locations for costly refrigerant leaks.
Space-Saving Design: InviroPak’s small footprint eliminates the need for a separate mechanical room inside the store and frees up valuable floor space.
Delivered Ready-to-Install with Standard Connections: InviroPak is shipped from Hillphoenix’s factory and ready for installation in an attractively designed cabinet. The Horizontal InviroPak is a compact parallel rack solution with integrated controls.
Easy Maintenance: The compressor section is isolated and can be easily accessed during operation, while a smart design makes it easy to service internal components. For example, hinged doors on compressor and electrical sections, coupled with removable doors on all sides, allow quick and easy access. It is available in multiple sizes and forklift pockets allow it to be easily moved to other locations.
The Horizontal InviroPak is an addition to Hillphoenix’s new Distributed Refrigeration Systems platform. The platform also includes the Vertical InviroPak, which was launched in May of this year, and AdaptaPak™, which is designed for outdoor use and can be located on a roof or next to a building, freeing up valuable floor space. Like InviroPak, it is available in multiple sizes and can be used as a central system for smaller stores or a distributed system for larger retail stores.
