Distribution center obtains high energy efficiency refrigeration
Discount food retailer REMA 1000 uses SteelXL in their new warehouse for the delivery of goods to its shops in western Denmark.
Customer required high capacity, energy savings and alternative to ammonia.
Permanent magnets boost CO₂ efficiency on this system with almost 1 MW on a single frame.
Facts
End-user: Rema1000 distribution center (Reitan Distribution)
Segment: Refrigerated warehousing
Background: Customer required high capacity, energy savings and alternative to ammonia
Product: SteelXL
SteelXL brings high energy efficiency refrigeration to Rema1000 warehouse
