In the supermarket to buy ice cream, you eat, will find a spoon to dig along while digging, why?

　　"Because of melting ice cream in the process of transportation first, and then he was sent to freezers frozen up, creates this kind of phenomenon."Joint technical architecture and industrial system, vice-president of China central air conditioning refrigeration and fire security business Gao Zhichang in an interview with reporters, revealed that let a lot of people to understand.

　　In fact, such phenomenon can not only on the ice cream, the single product body, those who need to refrigeration products, is present in both the electricity supplier or physical retailers in for the fresh market, probably because of the problems existing in the cold chain transportation and storage process, and affect the taste and quality.

　　The importance of fresh cold chain

　　Cold chain is becoming the key to win the future market for retail enterprises online and offline.. You buy in the supermarket apples from another province far away farm, cherries may from the United States, kiwi may from New Zealand, how to ensure the food from the origin to the stores of fresh?

　　Obviously, only the entire cold chain can solve this problem: is food from the field after picking into cold storage, put into cars or marine refrigerated transport, and from marine refrigerated containers transported to the destination after unloading and products to enter the local cold storage distribution, this series of processes in the refrigerated transport. From the cold chain to the retail terminal or to the e-commerce distribution terminals, each link in the cold chain range.

　　At present in the retail industry, Haier carrier, Panasonic cold chain, highly Nakano and well-known cold chain equipment manufacturers have occupied a not a small market share, but many manufacturers can only provide single frozen products or air conditioning products, for example, some only offer supermarket showcase, refrigerator and air conditioning products basic did not cover. However, in the current online and offline retailers are increasing cold storage, cold chain logistics and stores cold chain construction, to provide a single product has been difficult to meet the retail enterprises in fresh cold chain construction demand. The cold chain industry experts Gao Zhichang, in his opinion, retailers need to "from the farms to the whole body of the fork head solution", that is, from a single device to throughout the cold chain system engineering era.

　　What is the comprehensive solution? Might as well give a temperature control example. When the indoor temperature in 33 degrees and above, freezer to want to reduce the temperature to - 18 DEG C, due to the two temperature temperature difference is very big, the cooling efficiency will be very low, which causes the energy consumption increases. Not only more efficient, energy saving more of the United Technologies building and industrial system's hairer carrier frozen products and open air conditioning products are effectively combined, first of all for air conditioner to 33 degrees down to 25 DEG C standard room, and then air conditioning cooling water, to the frozen system too cold, and hairer carrier refrigeration technology to food dropped to 18 degrees.

　　Even more interesting is that in addition to the refrigeration and air conditioning scheme, high Zhichang gave reporters a security air conditioning intelligent linkage scheme is introduced in this paper, the retail enterprises is more valuable. As we all know, the store is controlled by the regional installation of air-conditioning, when the security system detected a large area of traffic, the staff then the region's air conditioning to increase energy. The control of the conventional movement is at the end of the monitoring to the temperature increase, and then passively told the machine to increase energy. If the intelligent linkage program, you can do it real-time regulation, namely the use of video surveillance in temperature control, not only can bring more good shopping experience to consumers in the stores, stores can therefore energy saving up to a maximum of 30%, more important is the shopping mall can thereby improving sales.

　　The total energy consumption of a supermarket is 40% of the refrigeration system, according to the survey.. Therefore, for the supermarket, energy saving is the most important problem in the cold chain construction, but at the same time, they are more concerned about the cold chain products can bring higher performance. This point, high Zhichang obviously has deep experience, "was originally a refrigerator door, in order to save energy is added to the refrigerator door. But some retail enterprises requires the door removed, because the will to consumers to buy goods cause inconvenience and will indirectly cause turnover decline. This requires us in the design of the product, in addition to energy, but also always follow a principle: better display products."

　　Indeed, stores often face the contradiction between energy saving and display of goods, not many retailers are willing to install glass door on display cabinet. However, the existing technology has been able to open display cabinets to greatly enhance the storage capacity, for example, Haier carrier E6 display cabinets, looks like is not very ordinary, but in the one meter wide display cabinets can store nearly a ton of products, compared with the traditional display cabinets increased storage capacity over 30%, an increase of exhibition area of 10%. More importantly, the energy consumption has been reduced by 5%.

　　The entire cold chain has a long way to go

　　In the cold chain industry, China is divided into seven to eight different temperature zones from south to north.. Cold chain products according to the different temperature, humidity and the region of different. Reporters learned that, according to the different temperature zone, the energy saving of the cold chain is not the same as the average between 10%~40%.

　　Technological innovation has made the whole chain become more efficient, and can make it hard to stand the fresh goods delivery to the long distance further. For example, from the Ecuador transport bananas to Europe takes 3 months, shipped to Asia longer. But by controlling the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the container, it can make the food maturity of the container more slowly.

　　In addition, Gao Zhichang introduced said, including profits, some manufacturers have developed with carbon dioxide to do natural refrigerant technology and has been applied to products, Europe already has nearly 60% of the supermarket to use such products, in China, Ningbo, Zhejiang, a supermarket has adopted the carbon dioxide refrigeration system of sea Erkaili, carbon equivalent emissions per year can be decreased by 26%, energy saving can reach 10%. But the proportion of enterprise application in the developed countries is also very small..

　　Indeed, how to better use the whole process of cold chain technology to improve the fresh supply chain, has been plagued from the field to the store all the problems involved in the enterprise. Gao Zhichang told reporters that the complexity of fresh supply chain is far more than ordinary people imagine. Even today, the cold chain technology has been very advanced, there are still nearly 40% of fresh goods because of the waste of rotten and other reasons, the number is very amazing.

　　For fresh electricity suppliers, the cold chain logistics is a big pain, many small businesses simply unable to build. Currently only includes several logistics companies SF cold operation, rookie logistics, have the ability of cold chain. Li Donglou Internet observers believe that currently domestic cold chain logistics can be divided into two kinds, a is half cold chain, mainly relying on the inter city route cold chain transport, urban cold storage nodes, with "the last one kilometer" landing with the completion of delivery, generally can be divided into living fresh storage and are not put in storage two kinds of mode of operation. Another is like SF cold transport such throughout the cold chain, the advantage of delivery speed and delivery mode is more flexible, and easier to extend to the upstream and downstream supply chain.

　　In China, the future of cold chain equipment growth space is huge, but retailers on the cold chain requirements in addition to the pursuit of a better display and storage, while also considering the cold storage management, artificial management and energy saving. Gao Zhichang that cold chain industry development trend of the future will be from the high-end covering high, medium and low-end. "Now China's supermarkets, convenience stores, has been extended to the second tier Midwestern three line cities and even rural, cold chain also need to conform to this trend, the localization of the adjustment."
