For many years, commercial refrigeration was a matter of serious concern for environmentalists. A lack of energy efficiency and the use of harmful gases that destroyed the ozone layer made chilling technology essential, but often expensive and harmful. However, times have changed dramatically.
There is no longer any need to overuse energy or to pollute the world while keeping food and drinks cold and fresh. Just Refrigeration looks at how far green refrigeration has come—and how we have led the way when it comes to sustainable refrigeration technology in South Africa with our Green Advantage™ systems.
Improving Energy Efficiency In Modern Commercial Refrigeration
While there is much that commercial fridge owners can do to maximise energy efficiency in their units, the greatest progress is driven by developers of refrigeration technology. They create products that drastically reduce carbon emissions and run with maximum efficiency to reduce overall energy consumption.
Achieving this requires a holistic approach to commercial fridge design that incorporates the following key elements:
- Smart Thermostats: Advanced controls that make cooling faster and more accurate.
- Optimised Components: Careful planning and fitting of high-efficiency fans, electronic expansion valves, and coils to reduce power draw.
- Superior Insulation: Well-insulated cabinets that prevent the unnecessary loss of cold energy.
- Natural Refrigerants: The use of refrigerants that are natural and environmentally friendly is also essential. These include NH3 (ammonia), carbon dioxide, and above all, R290 (propane).

Just Refrigeration’s Green Advantage™ Technology
Just Refrigeration’s patented Green Advantage™ fridge technology meets all of these modern criteria and more. We have partnered with leading global component manufacturers to create commercial refrigeration that is among the most energy-efficient in its class anywhere in the world.
Our commitment to reducing power consumption means we have significantly reduced our manufacturing carbon footprint, and we pass the substantial energy savings and increased efficiency on to our customers.
How the Green Advantage™ System Works:
Our Green Advantage™ system works by combining state-of-the-art EMD control with ECM fans, electronic expansion valves, and high-performance coils to drastically reduce energy consumption. Additionally:
- EMD Equipped™ Cooling: This advanced technology replaces conventional mechanical thermostats with an electronic energy management system. This system cools the **commercial fridge quicker and maintains a consistent, precise temperature, preventing temperature fluctuations that waste power.
- Low E™ Cabinets: These cabinets use a combination of LED lighting, high-density **polyurethane insulation, and low-emissivity glass in the doors to yield impressive power savings by retaining cold air more effectively.
The overall result is a highly efficient, cost-saving commercial refrigeration design that keeps energy expenses low and dramatically reduces each fridge’s impact on the environment.
