This is the most efficient of the company, with displacements of 4.5 to 10.7 cm³, making it ideal for LBP applications ( Low Back Pressure) and HMBP (High-Medium Back Pressure) —low and high-medium suction pressure—, such as ice cream conservers, freezers or bottle coolers.Equipped with an RSCR (Resistance Start-Capacitor Run) motor, the NUT60CAb has a displacement of 6 cm3, a cooling capacity of 261 kcal/h and a COP (Coefficient Of Performance) performance of 1.8 W/W .The comparison was made with a compressor from a competitor brand, also charged with R290 and equipped with an equivalent engine, a slightly larger displacement of 6.09, as well as very similar COP performance and cooling capacity of 1.76 W/ W and 259 kcal/h, respectively.Both pieces of equipment were installed in a typical supermarket ice cream conservator with a capacity of 245 liters, with a load of 165 kg at a temperature of -18 ºC, while the tests were carried out at 30 ºC of ambient temperature and with 55% humidity. humidity.The test results showed a total energy consumption of 2,552 kWh/24h for the Huayi compressor and 2,711 kWh/24h for the competitor's, which is no less than 6.23% more electricity.The NUT60CAb is currently the most efficient unit in the Cubigel Compressors® U Range.Its launch in 2015 marked a new efficiency record, exceeding the COP performance of previous models such as the NL60FB by 64%.However, sources from Huayi Compressor Barcelona confirm that next year the new NUS Range of high-efficiency compressors will begin to be sold, which will become the market leader with a COP of 1.9 W/W.Finally, the comparative study carried out concludes that, extrapolating the results for a standard amortization period of five years, the savings provided by the ice cream conservator equipped with the Huayi compressor, reached almost 34 euros in the energy bill (with a €0.12381/kWh).Likewise, the reduction in CO2 emissions far exceeded 122 kg of carbon dioxide (assuming 0.45 kg of CO2 emissions per kW/h), which represents 5.84% fewer emissions compared to the other model. .The tests carried out show that the combination of Huayi U Range compressors and R290 natural refrigerant gas constitutes an unbeatable combination of efficiency and respect for the environment.In addition, in the words of Vicente Guilabert, "R290 not only does not contribute to global warming in the event of a leak, but compared to other equivalent refrigerants, it needs less energy consumption to provide the same cooling power".Present in millions of units currently operating throughout Europe, R290 is undoubtedly the best alternative within the group of natural refrigerants for light commercial applications.Not only does it offer an excellent GWP index, but its application does not require drastic changes in the design of equipment that is currently loaded with other HFC-type gases.Likewise, R290 can work with compressors with smaller displacements than those required for R134a and R1234yf, obtaining a similar cooling capacity, being more competitive.The current load limitation of R290 to 150 grams per piece of equipment imposed by the IEC 60335-2-89 standard is under discussion and it is likely that it will be modified upwards at the end of the year, which will open the doors to much more powerful applications complete coverage of the upper range of light commercial refrigeration applications.All these advantages are already translating into an unstoppable growth in the demand for high-efficiency compressors with R290, also responding to the ever closer application of the F-Gas Directive, which in 2020 will force Europe to completely replace R134a.According to Huayi data, this year 2017 an increase in the global demand for this equipment with HC is expected to exceed 50% compared to 2016. In 2018 it will reach 60% compared to 2017.Huayi Compressor Barcelona, ​​with the support of the Huayi Group, designs and manufactures its compressors and condensing units following two main guidelines: that they be as efficient as possible while consuming the least amount of energy possible;that use minimally polluting gases in the event of a leak, both because of their potential to destroy the ozone layer and because of their contribution to global warming.The introduction in commercial applications of natural refrigerants such as propane (R290) is therefore a priority not only because of the need to respond to European legislative pressure to replace HFC refrigerants, but also because it is more efficient in terms of performance and energy consumption.This is already being assumed by end customers and application developers, to the extent that currently "more than 80% of our projects are already carried out for R290 and, likewise, the majority of our customers who are manufacturers opt for compressors loaded with propane” —says Vicente Guilabert—.Has it been useful to you?share itMORE ABOUT REFRIGERATIONSubscribe to our newslettersAnd receive in your email all the news of the sector.Keys to the new tax on fluorinated gases…Grupo Olano's logistics platform opts for the A2L Solst…Types of waterproofing for walkable flat roofsEcoforest, the first Spanish manufacturer to have a complete range…#InstallingCommunity launches "Universe formation" with micro fo…URSA TERRA BA P2292: the new panel with high performance…Searches of InterestThis website uses its own and third-party cookies to manage the sessions of registered users, analyze visits and traffic, as well as maintain their preferences.If you continue browsing, we consider that you consent to their collection and treatment in accordance with our Cookies Policy.You can change the settings or get more information here.Copyright © Caloryfrio.com - all about Air Conditioning, Heating, Energy Efficiency, Budgets and Professionals.All rights reserved.Please complete all the fields Subscribe to our newsletters And receive all the latest news from the sector in your email.Nombre* Por favor, indica tu nombre Apellido* Entrada no válida Ocupación* Selecciona una ocupaciónAdministrador de fincasAgencia de Comunicación y PublicidadAlmacenista / DistribuidorArquitectoConstructorFabricanteIngenieroInstaladorParticularPrensaTienda OnlineOtros Entrada no válida País* Selecciona un paísAlemaniaAndorraAntigua y BarbudaArabia SauditaArgentinaAustraliaAustriaBahamasBarbadosBélgicaBirmaniaBoliviaBrasilBurkina FasoCabo VerdeCamerúnCanadáCatarChadChileChinaChipreColombiaCosta de MarfilCosta RicaCubaDinamarcaDominicaEcuadorEl SalvadorEmiratos Árabes UnidosEslovaquiaEsloveniaEspañaEstados UnidosFilipinasFinlandiaFranciaGabónGambiaGeorgiaGhanaGranadaGreciaGuatemalaGuineaGuyanaHaitíHondurasIrlandaIslandiaIslas MarshallIslas SalomónItaliaJamaicaKirguistánLiechtensteinLuxemburgoMaldivasMaltaMarruecosMéxicoMoldaviaMónacoMontenegroNicaraguaNoruegaPaíses BajosPalaosPanamáParaguayPerúPortugalReino UnitedCentral African RepublicCzech RepublicDemocratic Republic of the CongoRepublicica DominicanaSan Cristóbal y NievesSan MarinoSan Vicente y las GranadinasSanta LucíaSeychellesSierra LeonaSingapurSueciaSuizaSurinamTrinidad y TobagoTurquíaUruguayVaticanoVenezuela Por favor, selecciona un país Provincia* Selecciona una provinciaAlbaceteAlicante/AlacantAlmeríaAraba/ÁlavaAsturiasÁvilaBadajozBalears, IllesBarcelonaBizkaiaBurgosCáceresCádizCantabriaCastellón/CastellóCiudad RealCórdobaCoruña, ACuencaGipuzkoaGironaGranadaGuadalajaraHuelvaHuescaJaénLeónLleidaLugoMadridMálagaMurciaNavarraOurensePalenciaPalmas, LasPontevedraRioja, LaSalamancaSanta Cruz de TenerifeSegoviaSevillaSoriaTarragonaTeruelToledoValencia/ValènciaValladolidZamoraZaragozaCeutaMelilla Entrada no válida Email* Specify a valid email * I accept the privacy policy.You must accept the privacy policy * Invalid inputPlease complete all fieldsSubscribe to our newslettersAnd receive in your email all the news of the sector.
