Nova película Lexan* Constant Clear da GE Plastics ajuda revendedores a reduzir custos de energia

Porta de compartimento de congelador com a película Lexan* Constant Clear da GE apenas na metade superior da porta>BERGEN OP ZOOM, HOLANDIA — 16 de abril de 2007 — A GE Plastics expandiu seu portfólio de produtos ecomagination* com uma nova película de policarbonato (PC) Lexan* de alto desempenho e patente pendente, que pode evitar a condensação nas portas de vidro de refrigeradores e congeladores de alimentos, eliminando a necessidade de aquecer o vidro. A película transparente Lexan Constant Clear apresenta um revestimento proprietário anti-embaçante que adere às portas de vidro para ajudar a evitar a formação de condensação quando os compartimentos são abertos pelos consumidores. A película Lexan Constant Clear não apenas aprimora a experiência de compra, evitando o embaçamento que pode ocultar os produtos, mas também oferece uma economia significativa de energia. Ao eliminar a necessidade de aquecer as portas de vidro, reduzir a freqüência de abertura das portas para visualização de produtos, baixar as cargas de compressor necessárias para compensar o aquecimento das portas – e com base no custo de energia médio nacional de US$ 0,0942/KW-hr (de acordo com www.eia.doe.gov) – essa nova película pode economizar até US$ 90 por ano em cada porta de compartimentos de sorvete e de baixa temperatura, e US$ 30 por ano em cada porta de compartimentos de temperatura média.
