Emerson webinar explores digital retrofits

USA: Emerson is to focus on supermarkets’ lower GWP refrigerant options and digital refrigeration system retrofits in its next E360 webinar.

While compliance with regulations and deployment of an environmentally friendly system typically drive the need for a retrofit, Emerson says retailers are also seizing the opportunity to upgrade their systems to provide improved energy efficiencies, tighter setpoints and greater reliability. The company maintains that the integration of a digital compressor in an existing rack is becoming an increasingly effective way of achieving all these objectives.

The webinar, hosted by Chris Raffel, lead application engineer, Emerson’s commercial and residential platform, will also provide an overview of actual supermarket case studies

The webinar – Utilizing Digital Retrofits to Achieve Capacity Modulation – will be held on Tuesday, September 26 at 14.00 EDT. For further information and to register. click here.
