A Surge of Less Energy


Reddy Kilowatt, the stick-figure cartoon that represented electric companies for much of the 20th century, would be pleased with the following comments.

"Whether it's using new refrigerants with a lower global warming potential (GWP), using more energy-efficient lighting fixtures combined with more skylights for natural daylight, or reducing the amount of waste they send to the local landfill, supermarkets are working harder than ever to overcome the often negative press they receive for their above-average use of energy and other environmental resources, compared to other types of retailers," says John Weisenberger, director, grocery segment marketing at Novar, a Cleveland-based Honeywell company that has been reducing energy costs for more than 20 years for retailers such as Brookshire Bros., Riesbeck, Save-A-Lot, Walmart and Carrefour.

"Supermarkets that build an energy management strategy into their overall business plan see substantial financial rewards," affirms Weisenberger.

A solenoid valve installed in the liquid line as close to the evaporator as possible, in conjunction with a narrow differential thermostat, is an excellent temperature control. By mounting the thermostat bulb in the supply or discharge air across the evaporator, the temperature swing is limited only by the differential of the thermostat.

This type of temperature control can be used on a single or multiple evaporator system and is particularly useful on multiplexed systems with evaporators at different temperatures.

Defrost Pump Down

In situations where the condensing unit is installed in a low ambient, such as on a rooftop in northern climates, and the evaporator is operating at a temperature above the ambient, a pump down solenoid valve should be used. This allows the pressure control to be set at a cut out of 1 to 2 psi and the cut in to be set at a pressure below the pressure corresponding to the ambient temperature. This will ensure that the condensing unit will start after cooling down during the defrost....

The reseating safety valve is generally used as a relief regulator to maintain a predetermined system pressure. The pressure maintained by the valve is adjustable manually. Back-pressure regulator arranged for full capacity. The back-pressure regulator is normally used where pressure control of the evaporator is not required—as in a direct expansion system. A pilot solenoid is energized, allowing pressure to bypass the sensing chamber of the regulator holding the valve wide open. De-energizing the pilot valve allows the valve to revert to its function as a back-pressure regulator maintaining a preset pressure upstream of the valve. The valve performs both as a suction solenoid and as a relief regulator.

Differential relief valve. The reverse-acting pressure regulator is used to maintain a constant predetermined pressure downstream of the valve. When complete shutoff of the regulator is required, a pilot valve is installed in the upstream feeder line. When the solenoid valve is closed, the regulator closes tightly. When the solenoid valve is open, the regulator is free to operate as the pressure demands. With the solenoid installed as described above, this becomes a combination reverse-acting regulator and stop valve.
