- A Russian supermarket chain used Embraco's Plug N' Cool refrigeration system in their stores instead of traditional remote systems. The Plug N' Cool system provided modular, energy efficient refrigeration for food display cases using natural refrigerants. It allowed for faster installation, easier maintenance, and reduced energy costs by 34% compared to remote systems. Both the supermarket and refrigeration equipment manufacturer were satisfied with the energy savings and performance of the Plug N' Cool pilot program.
