ENERGY STAR PARTNER
Why Turbo Air?
Turbo Air has the most Energy Star® certificates in the industry
High performance, low energy consumption
We built our products to rely on their naturally emitted energy, thus reducing electrical energy consumption. Turbo Air strives for sustainability without sacrificing performance and durability.
Refrigeration Reinvented Turbo Air
Only at Turbo Air, Only in the World
Turbo Air’s 2 & 3 Glass Door Freezers are powered by 115V. Not only is our 115V simple and easy to plug in and operate, it also saves customers over $1000 in electrical line installation costs required for 220V powered glass door freezers. We are the only company to have achieved this feat, which is proof of our dedication to energy efficiency and the environment.
Self-Cleaning Condenser
Dust accrue rapidly in areas where refrigeration is installed and used. Dust is drawn through the fan and accumulated, preventing the condenser from properly releasing heat. This causes the compressor to increase its pressure on refrigerants, increasing the possibility of the compressor breaking down. The “Self-Cleaning Condenser cleans the condenser with a rotating brush that moves up and down 2-3 times a day, preventing any dust build-up and maintaining the highest efficiency while saving additional energy.
Efficient Refrigeration System
Refrigerators achieve their cooling effect by discharging heat through the condenser. In order to achieve high efficiency, it is important to increase the effectiveness of the condensers, especially in hot & humid places, such as the kitchen. Turbo Air uses condensers that are 10%-20% larger than the industry standard.
No Electrical Cabinet Heater Needed
Electrical heaters in glass door freezers operate 24/7 in order to prevent water flow to the cabinet surface. This causes unnecessary energy consumption, and sometimes is the reason behind overheating. Instead of frame heaters, Turbo Air glass door freezers harness the heat produced by the compressor during the condensing stage, eliminating any unnecessary energy consumption as well as providing the most efficient freezer performance available.
Condensate Water Cooling System
Unique to Turbo Air Reach-In products, our anti-corrosion pipes are coated on the surface with a special treatment, allowing the excess condensate waters to cool down the pipe’s hottest area during the refrigerant compression process. This not only saves energy, but also eliminates the need for additional drains, which prevents slippery floors from becoming a safety issue.
Turbo Cooling & Freeze Feature for Faster Chilling
The Turbo Cooling and Freeze function, located on the control panel, allows the compressor to run continuously for up to two hours. When this function is activated, the temperature inside the cabinet quickly decreases and cools drinks, food, and other products much more quickly. An ideal time to use the Turbo Cooling and Freeze function is when the unit is stocked with new products.
Preventing Heat Transfer
Triple pane vacuum glass and plastic frame material are used to prevent heat transfer and to increase energy efficiency. Specially gilded aluminum exterior materials have both beauty and durable practicality.

No Maintenance
Condenser Coil Maintenance Pays Off (‘Energy Manager Today’)
Richard Fennelly, the Director of Product Development for CoilPod LLC says that there is not a lot of research on how much money can be saved, but all signs point to a significant amount. It is also a distasteful job that often gets pushed aside.
The condensers coils that are at the heart of cooling equipment need to be cooled. This cooling is provided by a fan that draws in air. That air carriers minute pieces of debris along for the ride. The vents get clogged and the fan must work harder to do its job. This causes three problems: The fans use more electricity and therefore are costlier to run, they require more service calls and, ultimately, many fail. Often, these failures result in ruined inventory.
Addressing this problem leads relatively easy gains. The greatest are “grab and go” type refrigerator units common in delicatessens and convenience stores since they are in high trafficked public areas. Fennelly, whose company offers a new approach to condenser coil cleaning, pointed to statistics compiled by the Food Service Technology Center (FSTC) and presented at the Restaurant Facility Managers Association and Commercial Food Equipment Service Association conferences last year.
The estimates, which presumably are based on refrigeration devices the FSTC found in the field, are predicated on an electric rate of 0.11 per kWh. A six-year-old double door merchandiser costs 1,325 per year when dirty. Operating expense is cut to 625 - a reduction of 47 percent - when the coils are cleaned. A large double door fridge (age unspecified) cost 950 per year to run. That cost is shaved by 46 percent, to $433, when the coils are cleaned. The other examples are in the same range.
Fennelly said that food service technicians often say that the most common cause of service calls are problems that arise from clogged condenser coil housings. Typically, the approach to cleaning debris is to use a brush, vacuum or wetvac. These steps are a good start but, ultimately ineffective because the problems often are deeper in the apparatus and can’t be dislodged in this way.

REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURER Turbo air is committed to the environment with innovative and eco-friendly technology!
By utilizing our innovative, eco-friendly technology, Turbo Air has now replaced all previous refrigerants with climate-friendly hydrocarbons R-600A (Isobutane) and R-290 (Propane). In our efforts to protect our environment, we have decreased energy consumption by 25%.
What is Hydrocarbon?
HC (hydrocarbon) is a sustainable alternative to HFC (hydrofluorocarbons, R-134A/R-404A). Hydrocarbons (R-600A, R-290) are natural refrigerants that have no ODP (ozone depleting potential) and very low GWP (global warming potential). Moreover, HC based equipment have been shown to be more energy efficient compared to HFC based equipment, which translates to lower operating costs. The EPA approved R-290 (Propane) and R-600A (Isobutane) as acceptable refrigerants for use in commercial refrigeration, stand-alone equipment refrigerators, and freezers.
GWP comparison: R-404A 3,922 · R-134a 1,430 · R-600A ~3 (Zero/near-zero) · R-290 ~3 (Zero/near-zero). (HFC vs HC)
