Refrigeration Control

Non-food chillers, such as drinks dispensers and bottle fridges are a prime example of how, within the hospitality sector Lightwave can vastly improve the operational running of such appliances by controlling the on time for cooling, allowing maximum efficiency of energy usage. In most cases, this type of refrigeration does not require bottled soft drinks or alcohol to be below @* degrees during the hours of midnight to midday. Lightwave implement an automation program that switches a fridge off 3 hours within every 4 hours, allowing the appliance to retain a low temperature that cools within the required parameters. As Lightwave monitor the compressor, the appliance is only switched off during the down cycle of the normal running, ensuring no stress is put on its internal components.

This automation provides a less running time for the motor and hence gives longevity to the appliance's normal lifespan.

Additionally, abnormal operational compressor running can be flagged up with maintenance by text or email reporting of potential failure before it happens.
