Saint Trofee was founded in 2008.
Creating tools for refrigeration
- EKS program for calculation of the year round energy consumption of supermarkets
- BAKtix and BERtix programs to calculate cooling and freezing times for foodstuffs
- Night Wind control system to run refrigeration systems at minimum energy costs
Refrigeration consultancy
- Creating designs for renewable cooling applications
- Evaluation of measurement data on thermal systems
- Providing expertise on test facilities
Participation in research projects
- MINIREF project (subcontract for NVKL / AREA). This project, funded by the EU (FP6) under contract nr. 01245, aimed to reduce the refrigerant content of refrigeration systems. this was done for a 50 kW industrial Ammonia system, and for a 12,5 kW refrigeration system with HFK refrigerant. Use was made of aluminium microchannel heat exchangers.
- NIGHT WIND project (EU FP6 project nr. 20045). After the formal ending of the project, Saint Trofee programmed the Night Wind Control System (NWCS). The program controls a refrigeration system in such a way that it operates at the least possible electricity costs in relation to spot market (APX) energy prices. The program has been installed at the Partner Logistics cold store in Bergen op Zoom, which is the largest frozen food storage facility in The Netherlands.
- FRISBEE (EU FP 7 project nr. 245288). Saint Trofee is one of the 26 partners from 12 EU member states participating in the project. The objective of the FRISBEE project is to provide new tools, concepts and solutions for improving refrigeration technologies along the European food cold chain.
