Blygold PN Banner 200x40.indd 1 Williams Refrigeration


Williams Refrigeration has launched new models to its popular Jade counter range with larger capacity models designed to accommodate 2/1 gastronorm (530mm x 650mm) trays. This provides chefs with greater refrigerated storage capacity at the cookline as well as supporting food preparation workfl ows. The Jade Wide models are available in two and three-door versions. They have signifi cantly more storage capacities than standard Jade counter models, which are designed to hold 1/1 GN trays. For example, the JWC2 model has a total capacity of 611 litres, compared to the 317 litres of a standard two- door Jade counter. Each section can hold two 2/1 GN trays, giving operators the fl exibility to store larger quantities of ingredients exactly where they’re needed during service. The counters feature the latest version of the Williams CoolSmart Controller. This provides excellent temperature control and uses intelligent technology so the refrigeration system only needs to operate when it’s required, thus minimising energy consumption.


Self-closing, barrel-locked doors fi tted with magnetic balloon gaskets guarantee a tight seal, while low GWP, zero ODP, high- density, precision-injected polyurethane insulation and natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant also help to reduce energy use. Jade Wide counters are built to Climate Class 5 and can perform


reliably in hot kitchen environments, operating in ambient temperatures up to 43°C. They are constructed from food-safe stainless steel on the exterior and an aluminium interior. Each door section includes two nylon-coated wire shelves as standard, with anti-tilt tray slides as an option. The new models are fi tted with heavy-duty non-marking castor wheels for easy movement within the kitchen. A comprehensive range of customisation options is available, including reverse units and splashbacks. Refrigerator models can additionally be customised with ergonomically angled raised pan holders or cut-out wells for enhanced ingredient storage and preparation. The new counters are compatible with third-party connectivity systems for remote monitoring.  www.williams-refrigeration.co.uk.

The Outspoken Engineer launches HVAC boxing series ‘Face Off ’ Three of the largest and most well-known manufacturers in the HVAC industry, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Panasonic, have stepped into the ring as part of The Outspoken Engineer’s Face Off series, fi lmed inside the iconic Dale Youth Boxing Gym. The three-part series brought together leading names from


across the HVAC sector in a boxing-inspired interview format, with each manufacturer taking part in a dedicated episode focused on technical insight, product development, real-world applications, sales, installation benefi ts, and the future direction of the industry. Set in a venue normally reserved for champions, the series was judged by George Groves, former WBA super-middleweight world champion, and Lucas Roehrig, rising professional boxer. With the boxing bell marking the start of each round, the format gave each episode a fresh energy while keeping the focus fi rmly on meaningful industry conversation. This was not about creating a fi ght between brands. Instead, Face Off was designed to give HVAC professionals, engineers, installers, consultants, and decision-makers a more engaging way to hear directly from three of the sector’s most recognised manufacturers. Each episode gave the brands an opportunity to explain their position in the market, discuss what makes their products diff erent, and share their thoughts on where HVAC is heading.


With The Outspoken Engineer now reaching 200,000 YouTube subscribers, the Face Off series forms part of the channel’s ongoing mission to bring more attention, personality, and visibility to the HVAC industry.  https://www.youtube.com/@theoutspokenengineer
