WEBSITE OF THE YEAR
Winner The RACA Group T
he Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Alliance is a group of independent contractors whose companies are well established in the industry and provide a
fi rst class service in their respective geographical areas of the UK. The Group has developed over the last sixteen years and the strategy for the immediate future is to raise the profi le of the Group within The Refrigeration and Air Conditioning industry, actively market the RACA Group to potential new clients and to secure new contracts. In 2019,the RACA Group employed the services of Mentall Marketing to redevelop the website which was launched in June 2019. Soon after launch we were getting enquiries from end-users who found The RACA Group on Google after searching for Local or National Refrigeration Service. Further interest was seen on Linkin and Twitter. Enquiries were directed to RACA Group HQ and to each individual contractor directly.

HEAT PUMP OF THE YEAR
Winner Rhoss EXP/HT Klima-Therm
T
he Rhoss EXP/HT uses a hybrid four-pipe air or water source heat pump to produce simultaneous or independent cooling and heating using heat recovery wherever possible for ‘free’ heating or cooling, with typical chilled water temperatures of 6/12°C and hot water temperatures, typically up to 55°C as well as a water source heat pump producing high temperature hot water primarily for domestic hot water up to 78°C. The innovative part of the system is the use of a third heat exchanger within the machine so that, when cooling, the heating can be essentially free due to heat recovery, or vice versa.

INDUSTRY INITIATIVE OF THE YEAR
Winner Logicool and REFCOM. F
ollowing a suggestion from Logicool owner Karl Richardson to head of Refcom Graeme Fox, the auditing process has been amended to encourage the entire supply chain to get involved.
F-Gas legislation states that refrigerant, and crucially equipment containing refrigerant, can only be sold to customers with Company F-Gas certifi cation. Mr Richardson said: “We were talking about what could be done to improve the situation and my suggestion was that if we could audit sales of equipment further up the supply chain, it could make a big diff erence.
“This summer we have been turning away enquiries every day because the potential customer did not have Company F-Gas. But the truth is that there are a lot of systems out there from unscrupulous resellers, or people who are unwittingly working outside the regulations. It’s all about who you are selling to.”

MAINTENANCE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
Winner
Bio-beta pipe chair Gel-Clear
T
he bio-beta pipe chair is a condensate drain support for food retail refrigeration display cabinets. Condensate drainage below the chiller, before the drains run below ground, has been proven to be the most problematic area in the condensate journey from coil to sewer. The physical problem with the case drains are the fact they very often run fl at to the sales fl oor. The lack of positive fall severely restricts hydraulic function and creates problems responsible for the high cost impact in this area. The bio-beta pipe chair has been developed to retrofi t any existing cabinet design, a method to apply positive fall to any existing installed drainage. The support is a remedial solution aimed at the cabinets already installed.
