“Maintaining proper temperature of our refrigerated cases requires keeping the air moving. There are fans inside every case, and there can be up to 100 cases in a single store. We switched out our shaded pole fan motors and replaced them with electrically commutated motors (ECM). The retrofit of shaded pole fan motors to ECM fan motors will reduce fan motor electrical consumption by more than half.” Victor Munoz |
