One of the more significant costs in the commercial refrigeration industry are the electricity costs.<\/p>\n<p>To help balance the power load on a given electrical grid, power companies raise electricity rates during peak-usage times and lower rates during off-peak usage times.<\/p>\n<p>Cold storage operators who participate in flywheeling <strong>cool their products well below the required temperatures during off-peak hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By doing this, <strong>operators pay the lower rates for their electricity<\/strong>, and in theory, store the &#8220;extra cold&#8221; in their products. During peak-hours when electricity is most expensive, <strong>they rely on their frozen products to act as thermal batteries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The frozen products release their &#8220;extra cold&#8221; to keep the storage unit at safe temperatures. This continues until either the electric grid reaches off-peak hours, or the freezer approaches unsafe temperatures and needs cooled down again. Hopefully by this time, the foodservice operator will use less peak-usage electricity.<\/p>\n<h2>How risky is flywheeling?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The greatest risk with flywheeling is concern over damaging your frozen products<\/strong>. Operators are\u00a0gambling to save energy costs while using frozen food as the gambling chips.<\/p>\n<p>You should carefully consider the following risks before you attempt to flywheel to save energy costs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Constantly changing a food&#8217;s temperature can <strong>affect flavor and taste<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Every time your freezer reaches the upper limit, you risk slightly thawing your food. This can cause moisture loss on a surface level, otherwise known as <strong>freezer burn<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Flywheeling isn\u2019t guaranteed to save you money. You purchase electricity at a lower cost, but you <strong>purchase more of it<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully monitor your energy costs. It may be just as likely that your <strong>energy costs break even<\/strong> by running your freezer to maintain consistent temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4091\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4091\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4091 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/frostburn-berries.jpg\" alt=\"Freezer burn fruit next to fresh fruit\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/frostburn-berries.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/frostburn-berries-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/frostburn-berries-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/frostburn-berries-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Freezer burn is a real risk when using this cold storage method. When this occurs, moisture on the surface of food thaws enough to evaporate and refreeze negatively affecting the flavor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Should you try flywheeling for your restaurant?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Although we cannot recommend or encourage you try flywheeling<\/strong> with your foodservice cold storage, we can tell you that many operators do rely on it to save energy costs\u00a0\u2013 but not all flywheeling is the same.<\/p>\n<p>There are companies that specialize in more advanced versions of flywheeling, also known as <strong>Thermal Energy Storage <\/strong>(TES). <strong>TES uses materials that release and absorb heat very efficiently<\/strong>, which reduces the reliance on your food to act as the &#8220;thermal batteries.&#8221; Keeping these TES materials closer to the ceiling helps reduce the thermal exchange between food and the ambient air during the flywheeling cycle.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to give basic flywheeling a try, these are two bare-minimum tips to get started:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Experiment in short intervals to get an idea of how it affects your particular food.<\/li>\n<li>Never let your food reach temperatures at or above safe levels for freezer storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/refrigeration-and-ice\">Shop Commercial Refrigeration &amp; Ice \u00bb<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within its origins, flywheeling represents the pursuit of the engineering holy grail of perpetual energy.
