Following the introduction of energy labelling for professional refrigeration, Precision redesigned its cabinets to conform to the European EcoDesign Energy Labelling Standard. The cabinets can now claim some of the best energy ratings and ultra low running costs on the market. For example, the MPT601 only uses 1.25kWh/24hr under EcoDesign test conditions, giving running costs of just £50.19 a year. (Based on energy price of £0.11/kW).

New components are helping to bring CO₂ refrigeration systems to warmer climates and heat pumps can broaden the application of this natural refrigerant still further, Giovanni Dorin, the company’s marketing director, told.
