Master-Bilt, a manufacturer of premier commercial refrigeration systems, recently received the Kitchen Innovations 2007 Award, presented by the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show, for its Master Controller with patented Reverse Cycle Defrost for walk-in refrigeration systems. The Master Controller is an electronic control system that regulates an electric expansion valve for precise refrigerant pressure and superheat through the evaporator coil. The controller also features demand defrost, which automatically detects when defrosting is necessary. When combined with Reverse Cycle Defrost, energy savings can reach 27%. The award-winning combination will be displayed during the National Restaurant Association show at Chicago’s McCormick Place in May.
