Kilkenny-based refrigeration specialists REL have teamed up with manufacturing partner Lancer to unveil the Lancer Glycol System, an innovative refrigeration system for the bar trade. A direct replacement or addition to the Traditional Irish Ice Bank method of cooling, the Lancer Glycol System uses a central bath of glycol (antifreeze) to cool all refrigeration within the bar.
Using the same principle as a household heating system, the Lancer bath simply chills the mixed bath of glycol and water to – 4c and then pumps the liquid to your taps, beer cold room, remote bottle coolers and even your food cold rooms.The system is environmentally friendly, offering up to 50 per cent savings on your electricity bills.
REL have already installed nine Lancer Glycol Systems over the last seven months all over Ireland. From Large bars like the newly revamped Foundry Night club in Waterford City to the Palace Bar/ Nightclub in Dublin and smaller traditional bars such as Langton’s, Birdies bar in Kilkenny and The Thomas Moore Tavern in Wexford town. Prices start from as little as €2,800 for a 1.5kw unit with yearly electrical savings of anything between €500 and €10,000 depending on the system size.
