sensitivity that translates into important, concrete commitments: to replace HFC refrigerant<br />
gasses, and to significantly reduce energy consumption.<br />
With an overall investment <strong>of</strong> around 500,000 Euro, <strong>the</strong> installation at <strong>the</strong> Swansea Extra<br />
hypermarket includes Proxima chilled display cabinets connected to a transcritical CO2<br />
pack, and Ampleo frozen glass-door cabinets connected to a pack where CO2 and<br />
Hydrocarbon operate in cascade. A total <strong>of</strong> 220 metres <strong>of</strong> refrigerated cabinet has been<br />
installed. The benchmark energy efficiency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se cabinets allows <strong>the</strong>m to be listed on <strong>the</strong><br />
Carbon Trust list <strong>of</strong> products that are eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowance tax benefits.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> formats and technologies for <strong>Tesco</strong>, <strong>EPTA</strong> has closely supported<br />
its customer. The installation and commissioning has been completed by <strong>the</strong> Epta UK<br />
organisation, toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>with</strong> training, monitoring, and after-sales service<br />
support.<br />
"We are committed to playing our part in tackling climate change by<br />
reducing our energy use and greenhouse emissions. These innovative plants<br />
from <strong>the</strong> <strong>EPTA</strong> <strong>group</strong> help us reduce our dependence on Greenhouse Gas<br />
refrigerants and save energy”…. says <strong>Tesco</strong>’s Andy Campbell – Refrigeration<br />
Engineering Manager.<br />
It is precisely this commitment to <strong>the</strong> environment that makes <strong>the</strong> partnership so<br />
indispensable and fruitful, as John Austin-Davies, <strong>the</strong> project leader at <strong>the</strong> <strong>EPTA</strong> <strong>group</strong>,<br />
confirms: “Today, transcritical CO2 technology is an integral part and <strong>the</strong> “jewel in <strong>the</strong><br />
crown” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>EPTA</strong> <strong>group</strong>’s product range. We’re very happy that <strong>the</strong> market is becoming<br />
more and more receptive to our new products, which are part <strong>of</strong> a strategic development<br />
designed to meet <strong>the</strong> most demanding needs <strong>of</strong> our customers. Respect for <strong>the</strong><br />
environment and innovation in research and development are part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>EPTA</strong> Group’s<br />
DNA.”<br />
Thanks to <strong>the</strong> new partnership <strong>with</strong> <strong>Tesco</strong> and several<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r CO2 installations throughout Europe, <strong>EPTA</strong> <strong>group</strong><br />
has consolidated its knowledge and experience as a true<br />
world leader in commercial refrigeration.
