ENERGY SAVING EQUIPMENT Remote Monitoring from Star Refrigeration I
n the face of rising energy costs, soaring carbon taxes, stricter environmental legislation and increasingly stringent regulation, businesses operating temperature controlled environments face some serious challenges. Planned aftercare and remote monitoring can help businesses simultaneously ace all of the above challenges with round the clock remote monitoring of industrial refrigeration systems. Operating costs and reliability account for 80% of a system’s total life cycle costs. Preventative maintenance aid by remote monitoring systems designed exclusively to identify issues with industrial cooling solutions are currently helping businesses slash costs and stay compliant throughout the UK.
Remote monitoring systems actively collect data from the PLC of a refrigeration system and transmit it off-site via a broadband connection. Refrigeration specialists then analyse the data in- house and generate a task list for the engineers to do, therefore eliminating the need for costly on- site visits and traditional fixed schedule invasive maintenance. Cost savings from preventative

maintenance and remote monitoring far outweigh investment costs at all of Star’s customer sites. Remote monitoring and diagnosis is primarily used to remove sources of energy waste, drive down running costs and lower energy consumption through better maintenance.
Live on-site data is transmitted 24/7 into a Data Monitoring Hub. Here, it undergoes analysis, trending, graphing and reporting. Data is used to
highlight areas that need investigation, issue alerts for emergency maintenance faults and measure the overall effectiveness of a maintenance programme. Ultimately, data monitoring systems offer live fault reporting that allows the operation team to identify and visualize issues as they arise. A record of alerts and faults is usually kept for each site so that detailed reports of results can be presented to management in user-friendly analytical graphs and pie charts in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the work carried out and to allow targeted maintenance to eliminate potential issues.
Industrial refrigeration is a major energy consumer and in some industry sectors it can make up to a huge chunk of the overall business energy costs. Business can harness the savings potential with comprehensive maintenance and remote monitoring services.
If a plant is not maintained and effectively monitored then problems will naturally occur, resulting in the plant running inefficiently. Over time, these problems will increase the running costs.
