World Refrigeration Day 2022 - Cooling Matters

World Refrigeration Day gives us a chance to reflect on the impact that cooling has on our lives, celebrate innovation and inspire progression towards making it better and more sustainable. At Oxford Energy Solutions, we are very excited to take even bigger strides towards energy conservation with Oxford LPP-SOLAR. We are looking toward the future with a fully integrated solar kit that can be added to any system. Oxford's solar kit ties into the main power supplied to each unit and automatically 'sheds' power as we harness the available energy from the sun. Systems can now run like it's nighttime - all the time. On world refrigeration day, let's remember how cooling affects our lives and celebrate the innovation that drives the industry to cool better, because COOLING MATTERS. It's ENVIRONMENT WEEK at Oxford Energy Solutions and time to explore how sustainable refrigeration systems are DESIGNED around reducing environmental impacts.

Sustainable Refrigeration Environment Week Compilation

It's ENVIRONMENT WEEK at Oxford Energy Solutions and time to explore how sustainable refrigeration systems are DESIGNED around reducing environmental impacts.

Sustainable Refrigeration Safety Week Compilation

It's SAFETY WEEK at Oxford Energy Solutions and time to explore how sustainable refrigeration systems are DESIGNED around safety. Refrigerant Choice is often the focus when considering the safety of refrigeration systems and we will talk about that but go even further.

GWP Inaccuracies (Uncover How Today's Metrics Are Deceiving)

The Global Warming Potential was developed to allow us to measure the impact that certain gases have on the environment. We have come to depend on this metric to decide if the chemicals we use, have low or high impacts on the world around us. But it’s time to tell the truth -because we aren’t having a complete conversation. The current assessment of the GWP suffers from inaccuracies and stops short when considering entire life-cycle impacts on the environment.

How Do We Know If We Are Creating Sustainable Refrigeration?

Sustainable design in commercial refrigeration focuses on decreasing the environmental risks posed by cooling systems and considers the impact of the entire system- yesterday, today, and tomorrow. So how do we know if a system is sustainable? How do we evaluate it?

Can We Measure Sustainability?

How do we know if we are being sustainable? Can we measure it? Because of its holistic nature, sustainability is not measured by a particular unit. We can’t focus on one area in our sustainable development – we need to get outside of the box and look beyond what we see in front of us.

Refrigeration Design with a Zero Leak-Rate Design – OLPP

What happens when we refuse to accept leaking designs with short-term solutions and demand more from manufacturers? The good news is that we have better ways and can put clients on a path towards sustainability through innovation and advanced design.
