Sadao Nishimura from Yamato presented the company's innovative Ultra-Eco-Ice System, which uses cold energy accumulated during nighttime for refrigeration and air-conditioning inside the store and display cases. At night, thermal storage refrigerators produce low-temperature brine ice, which is accumulated in a thermal storage tank. This allows supermarkets to better deal with peak demand during the day. In the winter, the system is able to recycle the condensing heat recovered from the refrigerators in-store floor heating. The Ultra Eco-Ice System is already used in 13 facilities.
