Danfoss entered into a collaboration with Microsoft to bring domain expertise in refrigeration and HVAC to the cloud. The cloud-based services, to be delivered through a platform powered by Microsoft Azure, will enable food retailers to reduce food loss, reduce energy consumption and optimize overall store performance.

The design and installation of efficient temperature control within plant systems has been subject to relatively little innovation for decades. 

An industrial refrigeration workshop planned for February 24-28, 2020, in Charlotte will help those involved with design/build, plant operations or refrigeration equipment manufacturing master key aspects of industrial refrigeration.

Freezing preserves raw or prepared foods to allow them to be stored for an extended period. Placing food in a frozen state slows decomposition by converting residual moisture to ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species, and locking in important sensory attributes like taste, color and essential nutrients.

As the cost of refrigerant has increased during the past several years, detecting and preventing leaks, and reducing refrigerant emissions, have become high priorities for large chilling plants, food processing plants and cold-storage facilities, among others. In order to do this, refrigerant management through effective leak detection and refrigerant tracking is essential.
