What is Novum LEAP* technology?LEAP technology is the most energy and cost-efficient low temperature refrigeration technology on the global market. It was developed as a solution for Novum’s largest customer, who had issues around defrost thaw cycles and the cost incurred of having to de-merchandise freezers, often on a monthly basis.

From a technical viewpoint, LEAP technology has the evaporator externally located from the food chamber. The air is then ducted and distributed evenly throughout the food chamber. This is commonly known as a forced air system where the defrost cycle happens externally to the food chamber.

HOW CAN LEAP TECHNOLOGY BENEFIT YOUR ORGANISATION?
