ICE® SYSTEM
Energy calculation integrator
The answer to energy monitoring of refrigeration installations
An energy gain of up to 25% and a return on investment time of a few weeks.
Predictive maintenance management of installations (refer to the FIX option).
A compact, quick-to-implement system that is suitable for all types of refrigeration installations.
A simple and reliable metrology.
A continuous analysis of the refrigeration installation.
An alarm of energy performance drift.
Information enabling the operator to quickly diagnose the origin of the problem.
Remote monitoring of energy performance via applications (Web Server, etc).
Floating HP option
Floating HP is now widely used in the management of refrigeration systems. This function could even be considered a basic one for equipment regulation. It is also available from all control equipment manufacturers. However, it is not uncommon to find that the expected energy performance is not met, even though these same installations are equipped with meters and/or are subject to monitoring by supervision or even hypervision.
The reason for this can be found in various explanations: unsuitable settings, installation design flaws, sensor drift, etc.
Furthermore, a facility operates 24/7 and therefore requires 24/7 monitoring, which is never the case.
A major problem therefore appears between the desire and the realization of the optimization of installations.
The Floating HP option of the ICE system allows, subject to eligibility, to benefit from the related standardized operation sheets. This option manages fan cascades, variable speed drives or EC motors.
This is therefore, a priori, the classic function as it has existed for several decades and as no other exists.
However, the Floating HP, implemented by the ICE system, is the only feature on the market that guarantees the performance results we are committed to. This commitment translates into the supply and implementation of equipment without any investment on your part, and for which we are paid based on the results.
Saying you’re going to save money is great, but it’s not enough. Committing to actually making it happen is even better!
FIX option
Refrigeration installations are subject to preventive and curative maintenance. In theory, preventive maintenance should avoid curative maintenance. In practice, refrigeration systems break down when they are needed most (for example: in the middle of August) and when no one is available (for example: on Sundays at 3:00 a.m.).
While it is difficult to completely eradicate curative maintenance, it is clear that preventive maintenance is not 100% efficient for a good number of installations.
The main reason is related to the difficulty of adapting this maintenance to the installation. This varies depending on the equipment and in particular its design, the use made of it, the environmental context, etc. In fact, the quality of preventive maintenance is linked to the experience of the refrigeration engineer carrying it out and therefore depends heavily on the latter.
The FIX (eXamined Installation Function) option is intended for predictive maintenance: its objective is that you are no longer at the mercy of emergency corrective maintenance.
Preventive maintenance needs are therefore no longer determined solely by the human factor but rather by factual operating criteria. This option allows 24/7 monitoring of operating parameters (temperatures and pressures). The features developed by the FIX option provide information on compressor wear, the risk of machine breakdown, operating faults, poor optimization of exchangers and a number of predictive maintenance features.
With FIX, preventive maintenance is closely aligned with the monitored installation. Corrective maintenance is reduced to a bare minimum and can, for the most part, be planned.
