AirFlow
What is it?
One of the most expensive costs in running your cellar is your cooler.
In simple terms, AirFlow, using ambient air from outside, will cut your energy costs by at least 50%, giving average electricity savings of £800 – £1,400 per year.
BBC weather forecasts indicate that for around 60% of the year outside temperature is 10ºC or less. The AirFlow system, with an outdoor probe sensing this temperature, brings in the ambient air from outside, maintaining the cellar temperature between 10ºC and 12ºC. Therefore, your cellar coolers thermostat, sensing the temperature is correct, simply keeps the main chiller switched off. However, it is important to note that the internal fans continue to run as normal using only 200 watts and not 3-5kw.
A general consensus between refrigeration engineers is that the condenser part of the cellar cooler system (the expensive part) will operate on average for around 10 hours per day.

Benefits of AirFlow
After rigorous trials many major groups, individual pubs, hotels and clubs are reaping the rewards from our AirFlow installation.
- Naturally, the main benefit is energy cost saving for your cellar cooler, saving between £800 – £1,400 per year.
- Compressor noise is greatly reduced in built up areas and, with no need to switch off your cooler, the Airflow system will continue to maintain correct cellar temperature.
- Running costs are greatly reduced, thus providing a high probability of extending the life of your cooler and dramatically reducing expensive call outs.
- There is also the envoronmental benefit of a reduction in carbon emissions.
Airflow is guaranteed for 12 months.
Costs
Please complete our enquiry form below and we’ll call you back to discuss your requirements. The system can be purchased over three years, during which time the savings are around double the cost. A full yearly maintenance service if offered thereafter for £130.
