Minibars

Alongside room safes, key cabinets and safes for the back office area, minibars are a part of our product portfolio for the hotel industry.

Offer your guests more comfort with a minibar! You can offer guests snacks and chilled beverages at any time of the day or night without their having to leave the room. The new generation minibars are energy efficient, silent and vibration free.

We generally distinguish between three different types of cooling technology: compressor cooling, absorption cooling and thermoelectric cooling according to the Peltier principle. HARTMANN minibars are available with absorption cooling and with Peltier cooling. Models with compression cooling are, however, only available on request since this technology is comparatively louder in operation and susceptible to more maintenance work.

The absorption minibars are cooled with a mixture of gas and water that liquefies in a condenser. An evaporator turns it back into gas. The cooling takes place at this part of the cycle. HARTMANN minibars defrost automatically.

Particularly convenient for guest and hotelier are minibars with a thermoelectric cooling system that is based on the Peltier technology. The Peltier technology requires electric current for the cooling process. The direct conversion of electric power to energy for cooling allows Peltier minibars to optimally utilise the use of energy. There is no need for a cooling unit so that the minibar offers more interior space for chilled goods.

Thanks to fuzzy logic control, the Peltier minibars can be regulated automatically so that icing does not occur.

Both cooling systems are vibration free during operation because there are no moving parts, for example, a fan. As such the
minibars are non-wearing, durable and therefore require no maintenance.

HARTMANN minibars are, thanks to the many different model types, in use in hotels of all kinds of categories. They are also perfectly suited for use in clinics and care homes, in student accommodation and as decentralised refrigerators in meeting rooms and offices.
