Introducing the Kooltrak Refrigeration Data Temperature Monitoring System Working together with the Energy Saving EndoCube What is the Kooltrak system? An easy to use data temperature monitoring system designed for the catering and hospitality
An easy to use data temperature monitoring system designed for the catering and hospitality industry to:
- fully cover Environmental Health procedures
- increase the safety of food storage
- reduce annual running cost
- increase the life of equipment
- reduce long term Capital Cost
- save CO2 emissions and reduce carbon footprint
What is the Kooltrak system?
The Kooltrak Data Logger: Approximately the size of a large button the data logger contains a micro chip and lithium battery the data logger is secured with mastic and mounted on a stainless steel plate to the inside of the fridge/freezer unit on the `load line`. The data logger is easily read by the use of a sensor on an interface cable. Once connected temperature data results are automatically downloaded in 2-3 seconds and saved in the Kooltrak `Data Display` program within the Netbook.
A system designed to make Financial Savings by:
- reducing unnecessary fuel consumption
- introducing efficient timing of defrost cycles
- reducing unnecessary maintenance bills
- introducing selected nightly idle periods of plant
Key Benefits
A system designed to Reduce
- wear and tear of refrigeration plant
- capital cost
- losses in stock through incorrect storage temperatures
- CO2 emissions and reduce carbon footprint
Key Benefits
A system designed to Establish
- efficient working practices
A system designed to Identify
- when refrigeration plant is working inefficiently
- working practices that result in stock wastage
- intermittent faults
Key Benefits
A system designed to Increase
- longevity of plant
A system designed to Gain
- maximum benefit from refrigeration and freezer units
Key Benefits
The Professional view: John Hukku, Regional Meat Advisor of The Food Standards Agency
- “All establishments handling food should have a data monitoring
system in place that takes away the human element of doubt and the Kooltrak system meets this requirement”
- Short listed and runner up at the Excellence in Catering
Equipment and Supplies Awards 2005 for `Refrigeration – Most Innovative New Product` and described as `indispensable temperature loggers`
- “A simple and cost effective solution for temperature recording”
Food Solutions Magazine
Food Safety
Data provided will establish:
- when a unit is faulty
- exact times of temperatures
- an undisputed audit paper trail
- budget controls
Knowledge
The following results are very common and illustrate:
- the waste of costly energy
- additional wear and tear of refrigeration plant
- increase in additional `down time` of plant equipment
- increase in annual running cost
- increase in long term Capital Cost
Sample Results
The 24 hour cycle is 2.18 times more expensive than the 11 hour cycle.
by increasing your running temperature from -25°C to -18°C
Your running costs are reduced by 55%
24 hour cycle is 1.050kw X 24hrs X £0.074 X 365 days = £680.65 11 hour cycle is 1.050kw X 11hrs X £0.074 X 365 days = £311.97 If consumption is 1.050kw per hour, then – At -18°C the compressor will be running on an 11 hour cooling cycle. At -25°C compressor is running continuously, on a 24 hour cooling cycle. Freezer Example
The 24 hour cycle is 3 times more expensive than the 8 hour cycle.
by increasing your running temperature from 0°C to 4°C
Your running costs are reduced by 67%
24 hour cycle is 1.050kw X 24hrs X £0.074 X 365 days = £680.65 8 hour cycle is 1.050kw X 8hrs X £0.074 X 365 days = £226.88 If consumption is 1.050kw per hour, then – At 4°C the compressor will be running on an 8 hour cooling cycle. At 0°C compressor is running continuously, on a 24 hour cooling cycle.

Fridge Example
- Now refrigeration units are monitored 24/7 by the Kooltrak system and are
working to their optimum the next stage for energy savings is the EndoCube.
- It is recommended the EndoCube is installed after the Kooltrak system has been
in operation for a period of two weeks, to ensure refrigeration units are
- perating correctly and adjusted if necessary by a qualified refrigeration
engineer, as recommended by the EndoCube inventor Harry Banham.
- The reason?
Should a refrigeration unit be operating incorrectly the EndoCube would not give the desired results and could mask a costly inherent problem with the user being unaware; having the Kooltrak data monitoring system in place eradicates this risk and opens the way to further considerable financial savings.
