How does the Micro HPS compare to the Glacier Bays older systems in terms of energy efficiency?
A – The systems are very comparable. Independent tests conducted on our older systems found them to be the most energy efficient refrigeration available at their time. This was several years ago and no independent organization has recently conducted a comprehensive test of either the Micro HPS or the new product introductions of our competitors. However, based on our own tests (conducted to established industry guidelines) we are confident that the Micro HPS will maintain our reputation for superior performance. Q – I saw an ad in a magazine from one company claiming their refrigeration system uses less energy than a light bulb. How much does the Micro HPS use? A – When you think about it you realize that this claim is saying nothing at all. To make such a statement requires so many assumptions about your refrigeration requirements (not to mention the size of the light bulb and how long it is left on) as to be meaningless. The fact is that estimates of power consumption must be made on
