Natural refrigerants and digitalisation: CAREL at Chillventa 2024
CAREL will showcase its latest refrigeration innovations at Chillventa 2024 in Nuremberg, focusing on energy efficiency, advanced connectivity, and natural refrigerant use, from October 8-10.

The aim is to respond to the pressing need for sustainable refrigeration. Commercial and industrial refrigeration in fact accounts for 17% of global electricity consumption, making the adoption of technologies that optimise performance and reduce energy consumption essential. At Chillventa 2024 CAREL will present a range of solutions designed to maximise energy efficiency and improve sustainability in food retail, food service, and cold chain applications.
MPXPRO: superior connectivity and energy performance
Highlighted among the main new products and solutions on show is the new MPXPRO, the evolution of the CAREL controller for remote cabinets and cold rooms. This cutting-edge solution guarantees three main benefits: universality, on a compact and flexible platform; extended and uniform usability across the entire range; advanced connectivity, with superior performance through integration of Bluetooth®, NFC and connection to supervisory systems. MPXPRO not only optimises energy use, but also facilitates remote system management and predictive maintenance.
Solutions for plug-in and semi plug-in cabinets with natural refrigerants
The new HeosPro and rotary compressors offered by CAREL stand out for their compatibility with propane charges of up to 500 g, maximising the energy efficiency of refrigerated cabinets. This technology in fact exploits the possibility to use low GWP natural refrigerants, helping reduce climate impact, in compliance with F-GAS regulations.
Total-Store: scalability and management of proprietary and third-party technologies for a transition to natural refrigerants
Total-Store is an integrated solution designed to manage refrigeration, HVAC and lighting technologies, optimising energy consumption in both new builds and retrofits of existing stores. Through centralised, remote management of all areas of energy consumption, the system brings significant reductions in operating costs and better control of energy efficiency.
Moreover, integration with the RED optimise multi-site platform further improves energy performance management and increases optimisation capabilities. RED optimise provides a detailed and comparative overview of the performance of connected stores, identifying any inefficiencies and suggesting improvement strategies. The platform can be used to monitor and log data in real time, facilitating the implementation of corrective actions and optimisations. These can also be performed via remote, improving service continuity and significantly reducing energy and maintenance costs.
Technology on Stage: interactive experience at the CAREL stand
Throughout the exhibition, CAREL will be offering visitors the opportunity to take part in the “Technology on Stage” panels, during which the advanced features of the digital and software solutions will be illustrated.
Topics to be covered include the presentation of the new MPXPRO, and a discussion on the regulatory situation for R-290 natural refrigerant in plug-in and semi plug-in systems. Finally, there will be a presentation on APPLICA, the mobile app that simplifies the work of technical personnel, making system configuration, monitoring and maintenance much easier. These meetings represent a unique opportunity to discover how CAREL’s technologies can optimise system performance while reducing costs and improving sustainability.
“We will be at Chillventa to present our innovative solutions that help reduce energy consumption and improve the performance of refrigeration systems,” commented Michele Mohorovicich, CAREL Regional Marketing Manager Refrigeration – EMEA. “With technologies such as HeosPro and MPXPRO, we aim to facilitate the transition to natural refrigerants and offer our customers advanced tools to optimise their systems.”
