cool practices
In line with addressing environmental regulations, participants at the 2 nd Edition Refrigeration Conference discussed a wide
range of effective methods for cold storage applications and ways to implement food safety in the refrigeration industry.
With thE manifolD use of large-scale refrigerators and
chillers across the Middle east, mainly due to the rise in
the numbers of grocery stores, supermarkets,
convenience stores and speciality food stores, the demand for
commercial refrigeration, air conditioning equipment and cold chain
market has seen a recent upsurge in the region.
MarketsandMarkets, a global market research firm, said that the
refrigerants market is projected to reach Us$18.05bn by 2022, at a
Cagr of 4.5 per cent between 2017 and 2022. according to the
industry experts, the refrigerants market in the Middle east and
africa is projected to grow at the fastest rate from 2017 to 2022.
the rising demand for food and refrigeration systems in retail
outlets, hotels, restaurants and hospitality sector across the Middle
east is fuelling the growth of the commercial and industrial
refrigeration system. When it comes to commercial refrigeration
services, it is vital for the companies – be it catering companies,
restaurants, grocers or any enterprise that requires to store large
quantities of perishable items – to understand the technicalities and
functionalities of ice machines, cool rooms, bottle cabinets and
freezers. the experts say that not only can poor maintenance lead to
a shorter lifespan of the refrigeration equipment, it can also mean a
significant increase in electrical usage.
therefore, it has become vital for companies to understand,
realise and have a comprehensive guide for industrial refrigeration
systems, so that commercial-grade refrigerators and freezers run
smoothly and have a successful and cost-efficient operation.
this is the reason why Technical Review Middle East organised its
2 nd edition refrigeration Conference in Manama, bahrain, on 25-26
april 2018. the event gathered top refrigeration experts from the
gCC who discussed strategies for food storage and overall
