Econ-O-Mate™
Hubbard Products has been awarded the coveted 2009 Caterer & Hotelkeeper, Equipment & Supplies 'Green' Excellence Award for it's innovative approach to utilising recycled waste energy from the refrigeration and chilling processes used in the hospitality and retail sectors.
Receiving the award at the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Awards ceremony held on Monday 19th January, at The Hospitality Show at Birmingham's NEC, Pat Maughan, Managing Director of Hubbard Products said: "This award acknowledges the foresight that the Hubbard Product Development Team showed when they identified that environmental issues would become more and more important to our customers in the years ahead if only through the cost savings they would deliver".
He continued "The importance of developing refrigeration and chilling equipment that is more economical to operate and is less resource wasteful has been highlighted by this award. Hubbard Products is a major designer and manufacturer of chilling and refrigeration equipment for both static and transport refrigeration and the opportunities created for our cost effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly equipment on a worldwide basis are immense.
ECA approved energy efficient Cellar Cooling Systems with Econ-O-Mate™ heat recovery module provide energy and tax efficient cellar cooling with the additional benefit of reduced water heating costs giving substantial long-term energy savings. The optional Econ-O-Mate™ system reduces the need to generate heat and reduces a sites carbon footprint in an eco-friendly and economically viable way.
In 2005, the Hubbard Premium Cellar Cooling System was the first cellar cooling system to qualify for inclusion in the Carbon Trust's Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme, which is designed to encourage UK businesses to reduce carbon emissions.
ECA qualifying energy saving - products are certified highly energy efficient and produce significant long-term financial benefits by reducing energy bills. Tax breaks provide upfront tax relief, enabling businesses to claim 100% first-year capital allowances delivering a cash flow boost and shorter payback periods on investment supported by Interest Free, unsecured loans.
The Hubbard Premium Cellar Cooling system is designed from the ground up to be energy efficient and is available in environmentally friendly low noise variants and uses CFC free refrigerants.
Now Hubbard Products have added a further cost and energy saving incentive, CHEAPER HOT WATER.
By reclaiming heat created in the cellar cooling refrigeration process water can be heated to temperatures as high as 50°C for use in on site heating and washing systems. The Hubbard Econ-O-Mate™ system is a compact unit that not only saves energy and of course the cost of that energy, but improves the efficiency of the cellar cooling system, especially when the ambient temperature is high.
Economic and Eco-friendly benefits of the system include:
- Reduced heating costs through recycling waste heat.
- Reduced refrigeration operating costs through the consumption of less electrical power.
- Reduced system wear and tear which saves refrigeration maintenance costs
- Reduced physical carbon emissions created by service engineers travelling to and from locations.
- Reduced carbon emissions at the point of electricity generation through reduced overall consumption.
Econ-O-Mate™ capitalises on the basic principles of refrigeration. Most refrigeration and air conditioning systems extract heat in an evaporator coil by evaporating liquid refrigerant, the refrigerant vapour is then compressed which increases pressure and produces heat. The superheated refrigerant vapour then passes to a condenser where heat is extracted and the refrigerant liquifies again for re-use. The Econ-O-Mate™ system uses a simple, double pipe principle, heat exchanger fitted between the compressor and the condenser. Heat, which is normally wasted, is recovered and used to heat water.
The Econ-O-Mate™ system can be used to boost traditional heating or hot water systems, is compact and easy to install, has few moving parts, is quiet, visually unobtrusive and is designed to recover the cost of purchase and installation in less than two years in an average sized installation.
Econ-O-Mate™ is available factory fitted to Hubbard units up to 7.5HP or can be retro-fitted to other manufacturers up to the same HP.
