JVD Minibar Technology: Thermo-Absorption
JVD minibars exclusively use thermo-absorption technology with isobutane (R600a), a natural refrigerant. This system, with no moving parts, ensures absolute silence and outstanding reliability.
The thermodynamic cycle creates natural cooling using heat, resulting in a 66% reduction in energy consumption compared to compressor systems, while being environmentally friendly.
With an almost zero global warming potential and no impact on the ozone layer, isobutane positions our minibars as a forward-looking alternative in the face of increasing restrictions on conventional refrigerants.
Minibars: focus on regulations
The 2024 F-Gas Directive tightens restrictions on synthetic refrigerants, accelerating the phase-out of HFCs by 2030. The isobutane (R600a) used in our JVD minibars is a natural refrigerant entirely exempt from these restrictions, ensuring long-term compliance.
The EN 16825 standard imposes strict energy efficiency criteria. Our minibars exceed these requirements with 66% lower consumption thanks to thermo-absorption technology.
The Tertiary Sector Decree requires hotel buildings to reduce their energy use by 40% by 2030. JVD minibars actively contribute to this target, offering hoteliers a future-proof investment aligned with evolving regulations.
