Environmental Protection and Test Room
environmental protection
A dutiful effort is being made both to optimize the company’s energy resources (with the installation of a 60 KW power generation system
and replacement of windows and doors with highly insulating windows) and to
produce items that meet precise energy efficiency criteria, using low-GWP (or completely green such as R290) gases and using as little plastic as possible (both on products and packaging).
Test Room
Thanks to the innovative Test Room 4.0 MG&MD Srl is also able not only to energetically classify refrigerated showcases and refrigerated counters but also to obtain a lot of in-cell measurements (temperature, humidity, air velocity…) that allow to thoroughly analyze the product and continuously improve its performance.
This brand new Testing Room has an internal volume of 77 SQM, is equipped with more than 100 temperature probes, 2 pressure/humidity probes, 6 anemometers, 2 cameras, actuators for opening/closing refrigerator doors, and dedicated software for creating product-sheet and uploading data to the EPREL website.
On request, the service of testing for energy classification is also feasible on behalf of third parties, in order to share with other players in the industry this particular focus on the topic from sustainability and improve the general offerings on the market.
R290 charging station
MG&MD is equipped with an innovative system for testing, evacuation and recharging of hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerant gases on refrigerant circuits.
The use of these types of refrigerant gases in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry is growing more and more because they are “environmentally friendly products” (non-impacting in terms of the global warming issue), are also excellent in terms of energy performance but have environmental flammability characteristics that oblige manufacturers and maintainers to have appropriate instrumentation and procedures for their treatment.
The MG&MD charging station (specific for R290 gas) was built in compliance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and is located within a work area equipped with an enclosure (size about 20sqm) with fireproof panels to prevent any gas leakage from its perimeter, with doors controlled by microswitches and state-of-the-art safety systems.
Within the work area, forced ventilation is provided for the necessary air exchange to keep the concentration of hazardous gases under control; moreover, the vacuum and charging machine is located and fixed there, with control panel and related injectors.
The refrigerant tank is installed outside the plant (in a protected area) and transfers the R290 gas to the charging station by refrigerant transfer pump systems.
