Refrigeration is one of the largest consumers of electricity, representing around 15% of total consumption in Brazil. In addition to impacting the environment, refrigeration also weighs on consumers' pockets, who pay increasingly more for energy. Therefore, it is important to adopt some measures to save energy and reduce refrigeration costs, such as:
- Choose a refrigeration system suitable for your use, preferring the most efficient models, with the Procel seal or Inmetro A label.
- Regulate the thermostat temperature, avoiding temperatures that are too low or too high, which could compromise the quality of the products and the performance of the system.
- Periodically clean and review filters, coils, fans, and other system components, removing dust, grease, and other residues that can impair heat exchange and air flow.
- Adequately insulate pipes, doors, windows, and other air entry or exit points, avoiding heat and cold loss.
- Take advantage of natural lighting, light colors, and cross ventilation, to reduce the thermal load of the environment and the need for refrigeration.
By following these tips, you can save up to 30% on electricity with refrigeration, in addition to extending the useful life of your system and products.
