Indel B, leader in minibar solutions for the global hospitality industry, announced the introduction of K Smart, the first minibar that grants absolute quietness and an extremely low energy consumption. The K Smart line is a patented system and it represents a new generation of minibars, designed to help hotels and resorts in their "eco-friendly" initiatives, while providing a touch of elegance in the room.

Indel B K Smart models utilize the new energy efficient compressor cooling unit, a cyclopentane insulation and high efficient refrigerant, to achieve power consumption of 0,12 Kwh per day. In addition, a space-age eutectic plate mounted in the rear of the unit provides over 12 hours of cooling without consuming additional electricity, once the target temperature has been reached.
For these reasons K Smart draws 83% less energy than the best typical absorption minibars available on the market, it is environment-care designed and at the same time it grants a significant economic saving.
K Smart is the first minibar in A+++ energy efficiency class available on the market.

The minibar is equipped with two saving technologies: the new Smart System and the innovative and quiet compressor cooling system that works with an eutectic plate and a remote control. The Smart System monitors cooling production according to whether a guestroom is designated as vacant or occupied and a guest is inside or outside the guestroom.
The use of a K Smart minibar with Smart System, requires (this is mandatory) the presence of an energy saver installed in the room.

"More and more hotel chains like Fairmont, Wyndham or Hilton are very attentive to save our environment and they often have sustainability goals to reduce carbon footprint" says Indel B Key Account Manager Michele Crociani, "Just replacing a traditional minibar with an energy efficient minibar can bring a big saving, as the traditional absorption minibar is one of the most energy consuming appliance in the guestroom and it is the only electric appliance that is always turned on in the guestroom, even if the guestroom is vacant."

Indel B is the only minibar producer to offer three different types of minibars cooling units. Providing compressor, absorption and thermo-electric allows Indel B minibars to fit in any environment like hotel rooms, luxury cruise-ship cabins and hospitality facilities, such as country houses, but also in clinics, offices and prisons.

The minibar K Smart is patented in the United States and it is patent pending in Europe.

Indel B will be showcasing K Smart at Booth #4744 at the HD Expo show, taking place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, May 15-17.
