K.I.D.S. (Kitchen Improvements for Discerning Schools)
XDX Innovative Refrigeration – K.I.D.S. (Kitchen Improvements for Discerning Schools) – Food Quality through Temperature Performance and Defrost Control, with Energy Efficiency: XDX Innovative Refrigeration
Chicago, IL – 26 May 2005 (J-SG) XDX Innovative Refrigeration announced today the initiation of “The K.I.D.S. Safety Program”, a program to improve the quality of food for children through enhanced refrigeration performance. The Kitchen Improvements for Discerning Schools” Safety Program (K.I.D.S.), is a three part program that educates, encourages, and enables operators and technicians to improve awareness and to achieve better kitchen refrigeration equipment performance.

The plan begins with the offer of the energy efficiency and performance enhancement package from XDX®. K.I.D.S. offers an electronic training and certification program that helps technicians and operators understand the effect that proper temperature control, evaporator performance, and defrost cycle reduction can have upon improving food safety and product quality. Program applications, requirements, and details are available on the www.xdxusa.com website.
“The most significant benefit of the XDX® valve technology is that XDX® can improve the quality of food through improved system performance,” explained David A. Wightman, CEO of the Chicago area company. “With recent FDA reports showing high levels of non-compliance in schools, as well as recent investigative reports highlighting refrigeration issues in certain restaurant chains, XDX® wants to do our part. We recognize that schools and school districts are experiencing budget cut backs and have limited funding for this type of project, but it is imperative that the school administration gain a heightened awareness of the importance of food safety and product quality. Simply put, we want to help kids through improving the refrigeration in schools. The energy reduction and product quality improvements work together to build an attractive return on investment (R.O.I.)”
XDX Technology and Beverage-Air, a Division of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration, recently won the coveted Dealers’ Choice Award from Food Equipment & Supplies magazine and National Restaurant Association’s Kitchen Innovation of the Year 2005.
School and school district administrators are encouraged to register online for the K.I.D.S. program, which offers a limited number of rebates for valves purchased from XDX for field retrofit of refrigeration equipment to qualified facilities. Local businesses, community groups, and parent-teacher organizations are encouraged to support the project through contribution either toward the labor or installation expense. Additional energy rebates may be available.
“We are excited to offer this valve program with volume incentive rebates for multiple applications,” added Susan Foster, sales at XDX®. “Even a small district with five schools can receive rebates when ordering additional valves for other equipment. This is a unique opportunity for schools to address the safety of the food we serve our children.”
The XDX® energy efficiency and performance enhancement package is applicable to nearly any direct expansion refrigeration system and works with any refrigerant. The patented heat transfer process through use of X-STREAM® and A.R.M.E.D. ® technologies from XDX Innovative Refrigeration differs from the ordinary inefficient direct–expansion feed of a Freon-type refrigerant system in several ways. The process uses a special valve to allow a thin coating of refrigerant to line the entire inside of the evaporator tubing, resulting in rapid removal of heat from the product or conditioned space. Temperatures improve, the system runs less, and equipment performs better in this controlled manner of refrigerant feed.
Defrost cycles and energy consumption are dramatically reduced in nearly every application. The valve installs in as little as 1 ˝ hours and has been used to resolve performance related issues in more than five thousand installations world-wide. The process is applicable from food service and restaurant applications, to supermarket and convenient store equipment, to the ultra-low temperature requirements of blood plasma storage. Food storage, cold rooms, and industrial processing equipment all benefit form this technology. XDX Innovative Refrigeration has equipment operating in each of these markets and many customers have benefited from having the performance enhancing products factory installed at the time of their new or replacement equipment purchases through any of the Carrier Commercial Refrigeration lines of equipment. Independent Laboratories have tested and documented hard cost energy savings of 18% to 24% with up to 66% extension to shelf life of perishable product, in soft costs.
Project K.I.D.S. is limited to the retrofit of existing equipment. New equipment can be acquired with the technology already installed. Carrier Commercial Refrigeration makes available the line of the revolutionary X-STREAM® and A.R.M.E.D. ® technologies from XDX® Innovative Refrigeration in the Carrier Commercial Refrigeration divisions of Beverage-Air, Russell Refrigeration, Cold Zone, Witt Refrigeration, Tyler Refrigeration, Kramer Refrigeration, Kelvinator, and International Cold Storage (ICS) branded refrigeration equipment lines. In an exclusive licensing agreement, Refrigeration Equipment from Food Service equipment to refrigerated and frozen display cases, and from evaporator coils or unit coolers and walk-in storage rooms, to compressorized equipment and equipment for specialty applications is now available with the patented XDX®, and is available for nearly every refrigerant and in a wide range of capacities. Carrier Commercial Refrigeration is a recognized industry leader in the food service, commercial and light industrial refrigeration industry segments.
Summary: Food Safety through The K.I.D.S. Safety Program at XDX Innovative Refrigeration: Raising the performance bar.
