FEATURED PROJECT | INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION

Krinos Foods Cold Storage

Polar Engineering partnered with Krinos Foods Canada to apply for BC Hydro’s New Plant Design program and receive over $135,000 in funding to implement electricity-saving measures at Krinos’ new Delta cold storage facility. This funding was used to install high-speed rollup doors, high-efficiency hot gas defrost refrigeration systems, an underfloor heating system, and an advanced control system to manage the facility.

Building from the New Plant Design study, Polar designed upgrades to the refrigeration and control system and a new underfloor heating system. These upgrades will reduce the facility’s annual electricity consumption by 424,000 kWh, leading to operating cost savings of over $30,000 annually.
