Thermal and Insulation Benefits of Econofrost Refrigeration Night Covers

While refrigerated air does spill out of open refrigeration merchandisers, refrigeration compressors work inefficiently in open cases as a result of the warm ambient air that is drawn into the display case and raises the temperature of the merchandise displayed there.

ECONOFROST refrigeration night covers are made with woven aluminum fabric which reflects 70% of the heat that would normally enter open refrigerated display cases. The woven pattern of the aluminum refrigeration blinds disperses reflected heat in multiple directions, effectively maintaining optimum, even temperatures throughout the refrigerated display case.

ECONOFROST refrigeration case blinds insulate the openings of refrigerated display cases by keeping warm air and radiation from grocery store aisles out of the display case while maintaining optimal cold temperature levels throughout the refrigeration display case. Studies have shown that products in refrigerated merchandisers that have been protected by ECONOFROST night covers remain at lower temperatures for nearly 15 hours after the night blinds have been put away.

Shelf Life Extension for All Perishables in Supermarkets

ECONOFROST insulating night covers will protect all heat-sensitive merchandise from exposure to radiation during closed hours. UV radiation from supermarket lighting penetrates the surfaces of refrigerated products, heating them and causing premature decay and discoloration. Enclosing your refrigeration display cases with ECONOFROST night curtains extends the shelf life of your merchandise and reduces produce shrinkage.

When perishable goods in refrigerated display cases are protected from harmful UV radiation during closed hours, produce normally accepted as a daily loss can be sold. Protection from heat and UV radiation is particularly important with your supermarket’s sensitive merchandise, which tends to dry, wilt, and discolor from exposure to the heat and dry air from grocery store aisles.

ECONOFROST refrigeration case blinds will maintain optimum temperatures throughout grocery store display cases containing perishable merchandise, which allows true shelf life to be realized. Perishable goods last longer in colder, more stable temperatures. Studies have shown that use of ECONOFROST night covers keeps the temperature of commercial refrigeration display cases colder for up to 15 hours after the thermal blinds have been rolled up for the day.

Energy Saving Benefits of Econofrost Reflective Refrigeration Night Covers

Use of ECONOFROST refrigeration case covers will result in lower refrigeration equipment maintenance and grocery store heating costs. A savings of 37% to 50% can be expected for the hours when the supermarket is closed. ECONOFROST’s effective thermal barrier will reduce the cost of heating the supermarket, as well as the cost of maintaining compressors and commercial refrigeration systems. Commercial refrigeration compressors and store heating systems will operate more efficiently, less frequently, and will require less energy.

In some locations, installing ECONOFROST refrigerator night shades will allow your supermarket to qualify for grants from utility companies and local and federal governments because our commercial refrigeration case night covers are recognized as an investment to reduce energy costs. Some supermarkets have even been given favorable tax consideration for installing ECONOFROST night curtains.

Night Covers Lower Utility Bills and Operating Costs

Econofrost night covers enables retailers to significantly lower their monthly utility bills and save money by reducing the amount of energy used and reducing the workload on the refrigeration equipment. Retailers enjoy a more efficient refrigeration system with less compressor run time, less defrost cycles and more stable case and product temperatures.

Ultimately, this translates into a greater conservation of energy at the store level which means lower operating expenses and significant savings reflected on your monthly utility bill.

Econofrost Case Covers Allow Open Access to Retail Refrigeration Merchandise

The unique design of ECONOFROST refrigeration nightshades allows customers to have unrestricted access to your supermarket’s fresh refrigerated merchandise. Whether the aluminum night covers are closed over the refrigeration display case or rolled open, they do not detract from the aesthetic appearance of the supermarket.

ECONOFROST refrigeration covers are not visible during business hours. The night curtain fabric rolls up and is stored at the top of upright refrigeration display cases, out of sight. Although the cover blinds are lowered only when the supermarket is closed or during power shortages, the effects of this thermal barrier can reduce cold air spillage from refrigerated display cases to grocery store aisles for up to 15 hours after the night covers have been rolled away.
