Abstract

.This paper investigates the overseas and domestic backgrounds for green design of commercial refrigerating appliances, and regulates the purposes and basic principles of eco-design of commercial refrigerating appliances, the eco-design requirements, eco-design process and key points, major methods of eco-design, and eco-design evaluation and improvement. This paper provides the guiding targets for the commercial refrigerating appliances manufacturer, standardizes the enterprise behavior of commercial refrigerating appliances, and leads the commercial refrigerating appliances enterprise to implement the product green design, which is of great significance in promoting the transformation and upgrading of commercial refrigerating appliances, enhancing the green manufacturing level and increasing the green product supply.

Highlights

  • The commercial refrigerating appliances include the refrigerated display cabinet, refrigerated storage cabinet, commercial kitchen refrigerator, ultra-low temperature freezer, quick freezing cabinet, trolley type refrigerated cabinet, assisted service refrigerated display cabinet, self-service refrigerated display cabinet, air cooled cooling equipment, air cooled refrigerated appliances, commercial vending machine, commercial ice cream machine and commercial ice maker

  • As shown in the study, 80% resources consumption and environmental impact are subject to the product design phase

  • The purpose of commercial refrigerating appliances eco-design is to reduce the environmental impact at the product design, raw materials extraction and processing, production, packaging, transportation, marketing, use, abandonment, and the subsequent handling, disposal and other phases, and reduce the environmental impact through the eco-design

Summary

Life cycle phase

The life cycle phase of commercial refrigerating appliances considered in the eco-design shall include: the obtaining, selection and use of raw materials, including the selection and use of environmental protection refrigerant and foaming agent; the product design, such as EMC electromagnetic interference and product condensation, and product light weight design; product manufacturing, such as enhancement of product qualification rate, and reduction of waste materials; packaging, transportation and distribution, such as the use of biodegradable plastic bags, miniaturized packaging of the product, and green packaging design; maintenance and repair, and enhancement of detachability rate of the product's parts and components, and product use. The recycling and disposal shall be implemented by the qualified authority
