Ilerfred Green Module: awarded energy efficiency at Agroalimentaria

The pursuit of sustainability and operational savings has led the agri-food sector to integrate technological solutions that maximize the potential of clean energy. Ilerfred stands out in this field with a tool designed to convert solar production variability into a constant and efficient source of cooling, optimizing the profitability of modern refrigeration facilities.

What is the Ilerfred Green Module?

The Ilerfred Green Module is a functionality of the Isycad software that can be integrated into refrigeration systems. The Isycad module is aimed at optimizing the use of renewable energy in industrial cooling facilities.

The Green Module converts surplus renewable energy, typically photovoltaic, into useful thermal energy instead of feeding it back into the grid. To do this, it transforms that energy into useful cooling, using the refrigeration plant itself and the stored product as a thermal storage system.

Furthermore, its operation automatically adapts to current conditions, taking into account factors such as available solar production, actual cooling demand, and the characteristics of the stored product. This allows for the optimization of both energy consumption and the overall performance of the installation.

Benefits of the Ilerfred Green Module

The Green Module makes it possible to take full advantage of available renewable energy, especially solar, by preventing it from being fed back into the grid and converting it into useful thermal energy within the refrigeration facility itself. This helps to improve energy self-consumption and reduce dependence on the conventional power grid.

It also contributes to reducing energy costs, as it optimizes the use of the energy generated and decreases the need for consumption during peak demand hours or when there is no solar production. In many cases, this translates into significant savings on the electricity bill.

Another key benefit is the improvement of the installation's sustainability by reducing emissions associated with energy consumption and promoting a more efficient and environmentally friendly model. Additionally, the system allows for more intelligent management of the refrigeration plant, adapting its operation to solar production, cooling demand, and the stored product, which improves the overall efficiency of the process.

Recognition at Agroalimentaria: an award for innovation

The recognition obtained at the Agroalimentaria fair, which took place in La Almunia de Doña Godina from April 16 to 18, highlights initiatives that bring real improvements to production processes. More than just an award, it reflects the interest in solutions that help become more efficient and sustainable.

It also serves to provide visibility to new technologies and approaches that facilitate work in the sector and contribute to its practical evolution.

Ilerfred’s commitment to the future of the sector

Ilerfred's commitment to the future of the sector focuses on promoting solutions that improve energy efficiency and sustainability in industrial refrigeration and post-harvest. The company is committed to integrating advanced control technologies that allow for energy consumption optimization and better use of available resources, especially renewable energies.

In addition, it works on the development of more intelligent systems adapted to the real needs of the agri-food industry, with the aim of reducing costs, minimizing environmental impact, and improving the preservation quality of products. Overall, its approach seeks to accompany the sector's transition towards more efficient and sustainable models.
