Florists

Flowers are refrigerated to keep the freshness and therefore appeal to the customer. The level of refrigeration is based on the type of flower. Each species of flower has its own precise degree of refrigeration.

Refrigeration involves many processes which have to be carried out to keep the flowers as fresh as possible. These processes begin at the time of harvest and must continue until they reach their customer destinations.

There are four different methods of refrigeration: Natural Refrigeration, Mechanical Refrigeration, Ice Refrigeration, and Absorption Refrigeration. Floral distributors determine the best method of refrigeration according to each species.

For example, exotic flowers such as Orchids require a slightly warmer temperature than other flowers. The ideal temperature for Orchids is 15 ºC, while most other cut flowers are stored between 4 ºC and 8 ºC.

The Endotherm Thermometer will help businesses that use storage refrigeration or display cases set their cooler temperatures correctly. Testing indicates that setting a walk-in or display case thermostat to the appropriate temperature of the flowers—as opposed to the temperature of the air—preserves the flowers' lives as well decreases the amount of power being used. Less power means less spending on energy costs, less wear-and-tear on the equipment and less damaged product as a result of overcooling. Utilizing the EndoTherm to regulate temperatures increases bottom-line profits by reducing overhead expenditures.
