OverviewBOREA is the latest development from AHT focusing on energy efficiency and contemporary design. Available as a full plug-in unit and as a semi plug-in (SPI) unit for integration into a waterloop (SPI system), the range enables fast, flexible installation and relocation while offering an increased total display area comparable to common remote multidecks.
Key features- Refrigerant: natural propane (R290) with very low GWP.
- Available as full plug-in and semi plug-in (SPI) versions; SPI units can be integrated into a waterloop.
- Hermetic, sealed cooling system to minimise leakage risk; units approved at highest safety level by VDE.
- Fast and flexible installation; new frame construction allows direct placement against walls without distance.
- Wide range of customization options including end glass walls, bumper design, interior fittings and price stripe placement.
Energy efficiency & operationBOREA models span EEI classes from A to F depending on configuration, enabling significant energy savings. Units from 2 500 mm and above employ multi-circuit technology (two cooling circuits) to improve redundancy and temperature stability. Glass-door versions consume up to 40% less energy compared with the previous VENTO Eco model.
Heat recoverySPI cabinets can utilise waste heat to heat storage areas or other store sections. Piping on the refrigeration shelf permits routing waste heat to an external pump station and condenser, removing the need for a dedicated machinery room.
Environment & climateBOREA uses R290 (propane) and hermetic sealed systems to minimise environmental impact. Units are VDE approved and designed for low refrigerant leakage and high operational efficiency.
Highlights- VISUAL MERCHANDISING: Brilliant LED canopy, vertical and shelf lighting; available as open cabinet or with various glass door options; increased total display area (TDA) by approx. 6% vs previous model.
- FLEXIBLE SYSTEM: Offered as full plug-in and semi plug-in (SPI) for waterloop systems; direct wall placement and integrated condensate drain.
- HIGH ENERGY SAVINGS: EEI classes A to F; multi-circuit technology for longer units; significant reduction in energy consumption for glass-door variants.
- COMPATIBLE WITH AMS: Compatible with AHT Active Monitoring System (AMS) for proactive monitoring and easier store management.
