Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd are proud to announce that we have achieved Gold status within the Constructionline platform!

We value our accreditations, as these demonstrate that all of our processes and procedures are in place enabling us to offer the best possible service. Take a look at our extensive list of accreditations here: https://bit.ly/3HiwZcg

Last month, staff at Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd took part in our Christmas Jumper Day, in order to raise funds for Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre.

In total, our company and employees raised £570 for the hospice. A brilliant amount! This money will make a difference, and help the hospice to continue providing invaluable support and care.

Thank you to all our employees who supported the charity and made a difference! 😊

The case study below relates to a recent installation which we carried out at our customer, Cadbury World.

Mark Parsons, Managing Director of Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd writes:

The three door curtains serving the main visitor’s entrance at Cadbury World were becoming increasingly unreliable, mainly due to age and availability of spare parts. Although essential to the comfort of the visitors and staff, these curtains require a significant amount of electrical energy (i.e. a total of 60 Kw, which equates to around £9.00 per hour).

As a Mitsubishi “Diamond Quality Partner” IRS were aware of Mitsubishi’s partnership with Thermoscreens, and the development of a Heat Pump Version of the door curtains. Using reverse cycle refrigeration technology, the 60 Kw of heat could be provided with around 20 Kw of electrical input (i.e. £3.00 per hour), saving approximately 13K Tons of Carbon emission, (i.e.60%).

Whilst purchase and installation costs are 3 times that of a conventional system, based on Cadbury World operating hours, we estimated a ROI within 5 years, with year-on-year savings of approximately £9K.

Cadbury World management are very receptive to any initiative that will reduce their Carbon Footprint and reduce their energy costs, so didn’t take any convincing that this was the way forward. The curtains have been in successful operation since October 2021

As 2021 draws to a close, Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd would like to thank our customers, partners, suppliers, and dedicated team of staff for working with us through what has been a challenging twelve months for everyone.

🎄 We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy & prosperous New Year 🎅
