Foster Refrigerator
Foster Refrigerator - Your Best Choice for Energy Efficiency
In today's market, energy prices have sharply escalated. In 2005, gas prices in the UK rose by more than 40%. This trend has only continued since that time. Your business kitchen is one of the places where this impact is most felt. Electricity is used 24/7. Foster Refrigerator is determined to meet these new and pressing challenges.
Recent moves such as the ECA Scheme, the Climate Change Levy and the Kyoto Agreement have underscored the need for caterers to invest in more efficient refrigeration equipment . This can keep operating costs from escalating as fast as the national trends as well as ensuring that your business is keeping up with the increasing need to be environmentally conscious.
Foster Refrigerator is the first and only refrigeration manufacturer in the UK to obtain ISO 14001 status. ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard, which ensures that a manufacturer is both environmentally responsible and compliant with current environmental laws. That means that when you buy equipment from Foster Refrigerator, you can be assured that you are obtaining the most environmentally friendly and regulation compliant refrigerator equipment available in the UK.
Foster Refrigerator is also approved to ISO 9001. This approval covers not only design and manufacture but also installation and spare part supply. No matter what your business refrigeration need, Foster Refrigerator is committed to keeping your company environmentally friendly and energy efficient as possible.
Foster Refrigerator also provides a hydrocarbon option at no extra cost. Hydrocarbon is the only commercial gas that is Zero Ozone Depleting and has minimal global warming potential.
Foster Refrigerator reduces leakage and running costs by placing 60mm of insulation on all cabinets. This meets the UK standard for efficiency (Energy Technology List). Foster Refrigerator cabinets have been independently tested.
Foster Refrigerator is also the only commercial refrigeration manufacturer to use Helium Leak Detection. This detects even the smallest gas leak, even those which cannot be detected by normal equipment. Evaporator coils even have two protective coatings, a process called "double dipping." This process is unique to Foster Refrigerator. In April 2005, ACR Today noted that “a system that loses 15% of its refrigerant charge through leakage will see a 50% drop in cooling capacity and 100% increase in energy consumption.” However, Foster Refrigerator's special process cuts down dramatically on such drastic energy loss.
In the past, Foster Refrigerator has always proven to be a leader in energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. Foster Refrigerator was the first UK manufacturer to transfer production from R12 to R134a, from R502 to R404a, and finally to introduce hydrocarbons (R290) into food service cabinets.
In order to face the challenges posed by both the economy and climate change, look to Foster Refrigerator.
