Water-Cooled Ice Machines

In some places around the world, water cooled ice machines are more than norm than the exception. They can be advertised as more energy efficient that air cooled models and are also known to produce less heat than ice machines cooled by air. This can make water cooled ice machines the preferred choice for people who want to keep their restaurant or commercial kitchen as cool as possible in the summer months. Water cooled ice machines also have some drawbacks. Read on to find out the truth about water cooling in the commercial kitchen.
Water Cooling and the Environment

There are two types of water cooling. One of them, known as single use water cooling, is terrible for the environment. The reason is because it wastes so much water. Instead of recycling the water it uses to cool the unit, it flushes it out and replaces it. For this reason water cooled ice machines cannot gain the Energy Star rating.
In several places in North America single use water cooled ice machines are even being banned. The reason is because many of these areas are hot in the summer and suffer from water shortages. A few places, however, like Seattle and Denver have banned single use water cooled ice machines simply because of their negative impact on the environment.
Closed-Loop Water Cooling
There is another type of water cooled ice machines that use a closed-loop system and recycle the water they use. They are better for the environment by a margin and do have the advantage of running much cooler than an air cooled model, but many manufacturers have been phasing them out. Many cities have begun offering discounts to owners who use air cooling instead which gives them a distinct advantage over any water cooling system.
Innovations in Air Cooling
It’s clear that the commercial ice machine industry is moving towards air cooling. One of the other reasons for this is that remote condensing is not difficult to do.  Instead of having the air cooling system or condenser on the side or on top of your ice machine, vent lines are run into the machine and that box is placed on the outside of the building. By doing this to keep all the advantages of having an air cooled ice machine and remove any of the potential disadvantages. The biggest drawback is the higher initial cost of having a remote condenser installed.
Deciding on an Air Cooled or Water Cooled Ice Machine
If at all possible, I recommend buying an air cooled ice machine. Ice machines cooled with water just don’t have thesustainability I want in my commercial kitchen appliances. Of course, that’s just my opinion. Now that you have the facts about water cooling, this decision is yours to make.

Portable refrigeration units

In order to create the best dishes, many chefs prefer having all the freshest ingredients on hand. Many of these ingredients need to be kept cold, but walking back and forth to a stationary fridge or walk-in cooler isn’t always an option. In the same way, preparing almost any dish in a commercial kitchen can be easier if you have everything at hand. This is why portable refrigeration is making a larger impact each year on the commercial and industrial kitchen industry. It just makes sense to keep what you need, where you need it. If you haven’t already begun to employ this time saving and quality improving method of cooking, you might want to check out one of the following innovations:

1. The Work Top Fridge: One of my favorite new innovations for portable refrigeration is the work top refrigerator. These units double as a work station and a cold storage station. I don’t know how many times I’ve walked into a kitchen and seen a workstation beside a fridge. In almost all of these case the under carriage of the workstation isn’t being used. Just toss the fridge under there and you’ve saved yourself space and could even throw shelving across the space. All these advantages simply by using a work top fridge.
2. The Chef’s Fridge: Any chef will tell you that these are a must have in order to create the best dishes. Not only do some foods require refrigeration prior to serving, others need to be kept cool before cooking. The ability to manage this in a local setting with several trays for each type is definitely something worth checking out. These units can range from 1 cooling bay to 6 and can also vary greatly in size. Be sure to check out all the options available on a chef’s fridge before you decide which might be best for your commercial kitchen.
3. The Portable Under-Counter Fridge: Though the portable under-counter fridge isn’t a new innovation for commercial kitchen refrigeration, it’s one that isn’t used enough. Today’s line up of under counter fridges is more expansive than ever before. One of my favorites is the two drawers, one door model made by Beverage Air. The two siding drawers are perfect for items that are needed right at a station. The door with 2 shelves is also perfect for storing less needed items or a greater bulk of what you need. This unit doubles as a chef’s fridge, but has about one and half times the space per dollar. If you need up close refrigeration in your commercial kitchen and don’t want to waste space, have a look at under counter fridges first.
4. Portable Reach-In Coolers: One of the best things to happen in refrigeration today is portability. Almost any type of fridge you can think of is now being made on wheels. This includes you standard one and two door reach-in models. If you’ve been struggling with an old stationary fridge, you are dealing with a potential health hazard and a lot of extra work to prevent it. Today’s line up of commercial reach-in coolers is designed specifically for use in a safe and productive commercial kitchen.
