MILAN, Italy, 20 October 2022: Epta took part in Chillventa, from October 11 to 13, during which it shared its know-how and showcased its latest technologies, including the Epta Service-branded diagnostics tools, the latest Eco₂Middle pack by EptaTechnica, and a Misa cold room.

Making the announcement through a Press release, Epta spoke of an emphasis on innovation, efficiency and technical skills in the design of systems capable of ensuring high performance and minimum consumption, in the name of sustainability. Nowadays, the emergency gas curbs and the high energy prices are becoming an increasingly urgent matter, Epta pointed out. For this reason, the commitment of all HVAC&R players is needed, the company said.  

At Chillventa, the EptaService brand gave the first view of its new SwitchON Pack, which Epta described as an innovative solution that allows EptaService customers to have access to an even more advanced service, under the principles of reliability and safety. The SwitchON Pack provides a detailed visibility of the pack operating parameters and allows a precise control of consumption, ensuring greater energy efficiency, Epta said.

Epta said it also showcased the LineON technology, a digital solution for Epta-branded plug-ins, used in the Food and Beverages, Horeca and retail sectors. The LineOn technology, Epta said, operates 24/7, which allows users to continuously monitor parameters such as temperature and humidity, for perfect storage. In addition to geolocation capabilities and the ability to alert theft, LineON is a useful marketing tool, gathering data on sales and consumer preferences, Epta said. During the exhibition, Epta connected LineON to the Iarp-branded plug-in Glee inside the bar and to MultiFresco Plus by Bonnet Névé.

Further, EptaTechnica showcased its new Eco₂Middle transcritical CO₂ pack, alongside the Eco₂Small and Eco₂Large technologies. The Eco₂Middle is ideal for medium-sized shops, Epta said, adding that the technology is modular, which enables an extensive customisation according to the needs of clients.

According to Epta, the pack’s strength is its high degree of industrialisation of the production processes, which allows to complete the plant with different components. For instance, it is possible to integrate the oil module or the patented FTE 2.0 and ETE systems, which guarantee maximum efficiency and low consumption, at any latitude, Epta said.

Along with the SwitchON Pack, Epta displayed a propane-powered cold room with DropIn air-cooled condensing unit. The cold room is extremely compact, easy to assemble and has extra load capacity, Epta said.

William Pagani, Chief Marketing Officer, Epta, said: “Just when saving energy is top of the agenda, Epta focuses on technology to meet clients’ needs in advance. Systems like the FTE 2.0 and ETE are perfect examples, reflecting the strong Group belief in the use of natural gas. Not only do they reduce the carbon footprint and ensure great performance, they also save at least 10% of energy consumption compared to conventional systems.

Moreover, EptaService promotes the installation of diagnostics platforms, whose connectivity and practical functioning improve store performance even further. An innovation for efficiency and sustainability that makes Epta a leading Green Transition Enabler in the sector of commercial refrigeration.”
