Test Overview
On 9/9/13, Cerma began a two-week monitoring of a walk-in freezer cooled by a 6-ton 3PH 208V Freon compressor owned by Villano's Pizza and Fried Food of Danbury, CT. Since the freezer was indoors, the ambient temperature was constant.
Test Protocol
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Villano's Pizza and Fried Food, Danbury, CT |
| Equipment | Walk-in freezer with 6-ton 3PH 208V Freon compressor |
| Test Duration | Two weeks total monitoring |
| Week 1 | Baseline energy consumption (before treatment) |
| Week 2 | Energy consumption after Cerma Blue Ice treatment |
Testing Methodology
The first week we recorded existing energy consumption. Without disconnecting any refrigerant line or installing any access ports, on the seventh day we injected Cerma Blue Ice into the Schrader Valve on the low pressure line and continued monitoring energy consumption for another week.
Monitoring Equipment
We used a power logging system to monitor the energy consumption before and after adding the Cerma Blue Ice treatment. The system consisted of:
- HOBO UX120-006M Pulse Logger
- RIBXK420-30 Pulse Energy and Power Meter
- 30 AMP Split Core Current Transformer
- AC Current switch
- HOBOware Pro Data Logger Software
Why This Test Matters
- Real-world conditions – Commercial freezer in active restaurant
- Controlled environment – Indoor location with constant ambient temperature
- Professional monitoring – Calibrated power logging equipment
- Before and after comparison – Same system, same conditions
Key Findings
- Energy consumption monitored continuously for two weeks
- Cerma Blue Ice added via Schrader Valve (no system disruption)
- Reduced energy consumption observed after treatment
- No refrigerant line disconnection required
Applications
This test demonstrates Cerma Blue Ice effectiveness for:
- Commercial walk-in freezers
- Restaurant refrigeration
- Commercial coolers
- Industrial refrigeration systems
