AHT adds R290 refrigerators and freezers

AUSTRIA: Commercial refrigeration equipment manufacturer AHT has expanded its product family to include new vertical refrigerators and freezers. 

The new R290 Kalea units are available as plug-in and semi plug-in units. Plug-in devices simply need to be connected to the power supply and are ready for use. Semi plug-in units operate in a glycol-water circulation system and are easily integrated into the system through multiplex connections. 

The semi plug-in system enables the heat generated during the refrigeration and freezing process to be recovered for in-store heating or hot water production. 

With various models and variants, energy consumption ranges from classes B to D.

AHT’s Inbox technology houses the refrigeration components in a retractable base drawer, enabling easy servicing.
