“Installed my first KE2 LDA. I haven’t finalized the setup yet, but when we do, I will be adding the Smart Access for remote monitoring / email alerts. I will update with the addition of the smart access! Very exciting stuff!”

“All that ice cleared up and it defrosts less than once a day now with a KE2. More like once a week!!”

“After a week, all frost was gone…”
“…Your frost WILL BE gone..I had a really leaky walk in freezer with 8 display doors. The panels were coming apart and the thing needed to be replaced. Frost all over inside this box.
The owner couldn’t replace it at the time, so we installed a KE2Therm just to see if it would help. After a week, all frost was gone from the shelves, walls, ceiling, and around the doors.!!”
More Buzz on KE2 Therm
Joe Guzzo, Owner McDonald’s, South Vancouver BC
“The KE2 controller reduces M&R by eliminating the service calls for de-icing the coils. I also like the fact that it is very visible…and that you can scroll the memory to see the history of what’s happening with the cooler and freezer! And, it is doing fewer defrost cycles, defrosts that were not needed, thus, saving us more energy dollars.”
“…dramatic reduction of ice build up in the freezer”
Dawn Bayer, Assistant Manager Quick Serve Restaurant, Cudahy WI
“Holy cow! It was starting to look like Antarctica in there with the ice building on the ceiling. I can’t believe the ice is gone. The boxes aren’t sticking together anymore. The product quality is also better, as we used to find that some of the chicken nuggets and also the hamburgers would stick together.”

“The KE2 Evap provided more than I expected. We are able to use the KE2 Evap for system trouble shooting since it provides real- time superheat readings and electric valve position. Plus, we can view a graph of the coil and space temperature for the past 5 days of history.”
Bob Dolan, Refrigeration Engineer Johnstone Supply, GA
“Hey guys…just another example of how Ke2 Evap can be a game changer for remote diagnostics. A couple weeks ago I logged in and noticed it had gone crazy. There were 10 – 15 defrosts a day and large TD across the coil despite everything seemingly running properly. Earlier this week, they sent a field supervisor out to check what was going on and look for issues. The problem turned out to be a failed door frame heater in this freezer. Ice build up caused the door not to close/seal and constant infiltration was causing the coil to freeze up. Here is the graph 3 days after the door frame heater was fixed. Trust the science!!”

“We have noticed a change in product quality as the product does not stick together as in the past. We have noticed that the freezer seems colder.
We have also seen a dramatic reduction of ice build up in the freezer.”
“This is really impressive technology.”
Darrell Long, CEO Mama Lucia’s Pizza, St. Louis MO
“We were a bit skeptical initially, simply because we’ve been around refrigeration for so many years. But the results are incredible. This is really impressive technology. We will definitely recommend it to others.”

Martha Gail Windham, Owner Flower & Gift World of Samson, Samson AL
“…before we were spending all our weekends checking the cooler. Now, we receive e-mail alerts, so our weekends are our own.”
“It’s a tremendous difference, before we were spending all our weekends checking the cooler. Now, we receive e-mail alerts so our weekends are our own. The temperature is staying exactly where we want it,” “The flowers are lasting so much longer, at least 7 days, probably 7-12 days longer. The water for the flowers stays fresh in the cooler longer. Before we changed the water every Monday and Thursday, now once a week is all we need to do. It is great!”
Kyle Nevenhoven, Logistic Manager Frank Beer Distributors, Middleton WI
“…there have been a couple of situations where we probably wouldn’t have known about an issue if it were not for the fact that the controller sent me an alarm notification.”
Kyle Nevenhoven, Logistic Manager Frank Beer Distributors, Middleton WI
“Since installing the KE2 controller we have been monitoring the temperature, and we were shocked that the controller was holding the (product) temperature to within a few tenths of a degree.”
The temperature is staying exactly where we want it
Ken Hunter, Service Technician St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis MO
“I really like the controller and have many more places we will be using these.”
Patrick Williamson, Director, Purchasing & Distribution St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis MO
“Before, (the KE2 Evaporator Efficiency) we have never been able to meet our goal temp during the summer months …”
Joy Chartrau, Director of Food service School District of Washington, Washington MO
“I’ve wanted a monitoring system for a long time; the ability to have definite numbers for HAACP, without having kitchen personnel manually recording the temperature data for each case. Being able to see if there is an emergency with this system, review the diagnostics, prepare to fix the problem and order parts, a lot can be done prior to our maintenance staff being on site. This not only will save dollars on employee’s time but also travel. This is a good thing for a district our size.”

Andy Fincutter, Contractor/Technician A to Z Refrigeration, WI
“You guys have thought of everything with this controller. I can see more information on one page, and know what is going on in the system, in a matter of seconds. It would take me 20 minutes inside the box to get the same information.”
Darrick Luko, Maintenance Technician School District of Washington, Washington MO
“…more information on one page, and know what’s going on in a matter of seconds”
“It’s easier to wire and understand than our current time clocks and thermostats.”
