Award-winning energy efficiency
Energy efficiency always has been, and remains, of central
importance to Liebherr. It is one of the major influences on
the design of the commercial appliances. To illustrate the
point, Liebherr received three of the five 2006 ProCool
awards for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly
refrigerators and freezers for commercial use. The energy
consumption of the award-winning appliances was as
much as 70 % below the market average. Liebherr’s
Environmentally friendly in two respects
Liebherr is the first manufacturer to have changed over to
environmentally friendly HFC-free refrigerants for its
entire range of professional refrigerators and freezers for
commercial use. Exclusive use is made of the ecologically
harmless R 290 and R 600a refrigerants. Due to the
changeover to these environmentally friendly refrigerants,
refrigeration components of even greater efficiency can
be employed, making the entire range even lower in
energy consumption.
extremely energy-efficient commercial appliances also
enjoy top energy consumption rankings in various
international countries and states, such as the Netherlands
or California. Precision electronic control systems,
optimised refrigeration components, maximum insulation,
and highly efficient compressors ensure that energy
efficiency is constantly improved.

Liebherr’s energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers
ActiveGreen
For Liebherr, ActiveGreen starts early on in the design
stages of professional refrigerators and freezers. Liebherr
uses high-quality components for reliable operation and
top energy efficiency even if appliances are exposed to the
toughest demands posed by professional use. By combining
precision controllers with highly efficient refrigeration
components, Liebherr’s professional appliances offer
exceptional energy savings. Liebherr is the first company
to change over its entire range of professional refrigerators
Know-how that matters!
Backed by over 50 years of experience, Liebherr-
Hausgeräte has specialised in developing and producing
high-quality refrigerators and freezers displaying premium
quality and top design. Innovative ideas pushing the
envelope when it comes to convenience and energy saving
are regularly incorporated into Liebherr’s appliances. Back
in 1993 Liebherr was the first manufacturer to change
over to CFC-/HFC-free refrigerants for its entire range of
free-standing domestic appliances. Liebherr’s manufacturing processes are also geared to the
efficient use of resources. Take, for example, the heat
naturally generated during appliance manufacture: it is
recycled as heat energy. Liebherr uses environmentally
compatible powder coatings for all its sheet metal. They
contain no solvents and no waste water which might have
a negative impact on the environment results. The plastic
parts are marked for optimal recycling.
Premium product quality
Product quality and long service life are decisive factors in
the environmental life cycle assessment of a commercial
appliance. Employing high-quality components ensures a
long service life. The refrigeration quality of the appliances
plays an important role in maintaining freshness – an
aspect of particular importance in the professional sector.
Rapid cooling of food, temperature stability, humidity and
quick defrosting are key aspects. Hygiene is a major factor
in all areas where large quantities of food are used every day and it is something to which Liebherr pays strict
attention at the design stage. For instance, wherever
technically possible, the appliance exteriors are designed
to avoid joints and seams. This makes it much simpler to
keep external surfaces clean and hygienic. Where
applicable, the commercial-grade polystyrol inner liners
are moulded in one piece with coved corners and are thus
particularily easy to clean.
and freezers to the environmentally friendly R 290 and
R 600a refrigerants. They are HFC-free and have no
detrimental effects whatsoever on the ozone layer and the
associated greenhouse effect. In addition to this, the use
of new, highly efficient compressors allows a significant
reduction in the energy consumption of the appliances. All
Liebherr’s European manufacturing sites are certified to
the international environmental management standard
ISO 14001.
