Smart Refrigeration Energy Management
How Innovative and ABB Keep Industrial Refrigeration Efficient
Optimizing Refrigeration Energy Management Across the Supply Chain
Refrigeration energy management is no longer optional, it’s essential. Cold storage, food processing, and other various industries all depend on it. At Innovative Refrigeration Systems, we’ve built a reputation on designing systems that deliver uptime, efficiency, and food safety.
To stay ahead, we’ve partnered with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation. Their advanced variable frequency drives (VFDs) and support tools power our mission to reduce energy waste and improve reliability in mission-critical refrigeration environments.
ABB Drives Keep Our Systems Running Smoothly
When uptime is on the line, every component matters. We rely on ABB’s ACS580 and ACS880 drives to power fans, compressors, and condensers throughout our installations. These drives are the foundation of our energy-saving control strategies.
As one of our engineers said, “Drives are a big part of the reliability of our system. If the drive fails, our compressors won’t run and we can’t maintain refrigeration.” This makes drive performance crucial to energy and equipment management.
Turning Data Into Action Through Real-Time Monitoring
Our approach to refrigeration energy management uses real-time data to stay ahead of problems. We pull sensor and drive data from our systems, including ABB drives, into our energy monitoring program.
This helps our clients detect inefficiencies before they cause system failures. It also enables operations teams to resolve problems faster, often before mechanical issues arise. The result? Less downtime and lower utility bills.
Energy Management Built for the Cold Chain
Industrial refrigeration is energy intensive. That’s why facilities need scalable, smart, and sustainable control strategies. By combining ABB technology with our design-build capabilities, we deliver solutions that protect both product quality and profit margins.
ABB’s drives help reduce energy usage without sacrificing performance. Their controls give precise torque and speed control, which improves equipment longevity and enhances overall system efficiency.
A Partnership That Supports Sustainable Operations
Our refrigeration systems are built to last, and built to adapt. ABB’s support team works closely with ours to match the right VFDs to each unique project. That means easier commissioning, better troubleshooting, and long-term system success.
The reliability of ABB stems across our systems. From compressors to switchboards, their components support nearly every stage of our process.
Looking Ahead: Smarter Energy Management for the Future
Together with ABB, we’re raising the bar in refrigeration energy management. As energy costs climb and regulations tighten, this partnership ensures our customers stay optimized, compliant, and competitive.
Whether you’re building a cold storage facility or upgrading a legacy system, Innovative Refrigeration Systems is your partner in energy-smart design. Our collaboration with ABB delivers reliability, efficiency, and confidence every step of the way.
