When it comes to saving energy and money, a few simple checks on your Walk-in Cooler/Freezer doors can conserve energy. This short video shows how easy it is to properly maintain walk-in refrigeration doors, saving energy and money.

How Kolpak Keeps It's Cool

Kolpak is dedicated to producing the most energy efficient walk-ins.  Below are a handful of some of the innovative ways Kolpak is saving you money by keeping your walk-in cooler, easier.

Air Shield

Designed to mount vertically, adjacent to the walk-in door on the interior wall surface, the Air Shield features an innovative air delivery system that channels a barrier of refrigerated air which flows horizontally across the interior side of the door opening. The Air Shield is automatically activated when the door is opened and shuts off when the door closes significantly reducing the amount of warm air infiltration into the refrigerated space (keeps the cold air in and the warm air out).  More.

120 Series Condensers

The 120 High Side System is a high efficiency air-cooled refrigeration condensing unit designed specifically to operate on Walk-ins over a wide range of ambient temperatures. More (pg. 6)

  • 51% more condenser to reduce energy and ensure efficient performance at high ambient temperatures
  • Larger fan blade to increase air flow across the condenser by 55%
  • PSC fan motor reduces energy consumption and increases reliability

Energy Efficient Features

With passage of the Federal Energy Independence and Security Act aimed at reducing energy dependence and curbing global warming, a number of new requirements have been added to the design standards of walk-in coolers and freezers. As a leader in walk-in refrigeration, Manitowoc Foodservice took the initiative early on to develop and deliver energy efficient features and technologies for customers. Many of these features were incorporated into Harford and Kolpak walk-ins long before the mandated deadline of January 1, 2009. Section 312 of the standard details these new requirements.  More.
