July 21, 2014: Smartcool Enters Next Phase of Testing for Refrigerated Transport Sector
The First Phase Produced 18 Percent Energy Savings
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Smartcool Systems Inc. announced that it has received approval for beta testing of its energy efficiency technology with a Florida-based food distribution firm. This test is the next phase in introducing its technology to the refrigerated transport sector. The first phase produced 18 percent energy savings when the technology was installed on the compressors cooling two sea-going refrigerated shipping containers.
Refrigerated transport represents about 20 percent of all goods transported, with millions of sea-going containers, box trucks, and trailers using considerable energy to keep goods chilled. Smartcool said this provides an opportunity for the company to expand its product offering to a new market that can yield significant savings for customers with short payback periods.
