Paddy Nolan started out in Vernon Avenue, Clontarf in 1958 as a local convenience store. Nolan’s Supermarket is still an independent, family run business with a commitment to excellent service. In 2018, 60 years after first opening, Nolan’s undertook a massive redevelopment program. This was centered on an extension and refurbishment to totally transformed and modernized the store and delivers a brand new, exciting shopping experience which included the upgrade of the refrigeration systems.

Challenge

The scope of the Refrigeration contract was to design and deliver a complete new supermarket refrigeration system, to run on CO2 refrigerant which has ‘Zero Ozone Depletion’. As part of this we installed several satellite fridges which are running off a Panasonic CO2 Condensing unit, the very first Panasonic CO2 unit to be installed in Ireland. The CO2 systems would deliver very high performance and efficiency to give our client a market leading installation.

Solutions & Tech Applied

Alongside the cold rooms, cabinets and display units, several satellite fridges were also installed which run off five Panasonic CO2 Condensing Units (3 x 4HP units, 1 x 10HP unit and 1 x 2HP unit). We were initially drawn to Panasonic’s CO2 Cold Chain units because environmentally CO2 is a very attractive natural and alternative refrigerant choice. The Panasonic units also has several unique thermo-physical properties and for this application, the Panasonic CO2 Cold Chain units deliver high performance, are reliable and are ultimately very efficient. Installing Panasonic AC with nanoeTM X technology has the added benefit of being able to improve protection against certain viruses and bacteria for staff and customers within the store environment was a great bonus.

The Panasonic CO2 Cold Chain units are suitable for both refrigerated and freezer showcases, as well as walk-in freezers and cold rooms – offering a solution for all commercial refrigeration needs. The technology has been specifically developed for small to medium capacity applications within the retail and food service sectors. The range available in Ireland features units for medium temperature (4kW to 16kW) and low temperature (2kW to 8kW) condensing units. The NX inverter cassette unit is a modern flat-panel design to blend into any space. It provides a powerful turbo fan and intelligent econavi sensor to ensure high energy efficiency and exceptional comfort with a circulation function to evenly distribute the air and minimize temperature gaps throughout the store. Featuring integrated nanoe X, these cassettes have been developed to satisfy today’s customer needs such as high energy saving, comfort and healthier air.
