 Refrigeration Systems are designed based on the specific cooling
needs of your application.
Rapid Cooling - In certain situations, produce needs to be cooled from field temperature to near freezing in under an hour.
Slow Cooling - In other cases, cooling may only need to occur over the period of a day.
Maintenance Cooling - Produce held in long-term storage may require months of being held at a constant temperature.
Once our engineers understand your needs, we can recommend, design and build the most appropriate system. Please see our
COLD-ROOM Specifications Sheet on the Sales/Request Info page.

Please take a look at the Pictures pages. Note
the photo of "Ontario Refrigerated Services" which is located in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. The facility is a 64,000 square foot
freezer building built in 2003. It operates as a warehousing and distribution center for a variety of frozen vegetables.
Six
Freezer Systems maintain a working temperature of -4º F, or about -20º C. If necessary, the building temperature can be
lowered to -22º F, or about -30º C.
Currently, there is an expansion underway to double the size of the facility, adding an additional 64,000 square feet. Once again,
has been chosen to supply the new Freezer Systems.
Freezer Systems are manufactured with our exclusive
 Technology. This design feature means each system
is equipped with two independent refrigeration circuits, providing greater Reliability and Operating Cost Efficiency. The
Freezer Systems are controlled by a computer panel
centrally located in the office at the facility.

Refrigeration Systems are engineered with two
independent refrigeration systems providing you with greater Reliability and Cost Efficiency.
Technology incorporates the following unique
design features:
A Two-Stage Electronic Thermostat System independently controls each circuit, maximizing temperature control in your cooling facility.
During Peak Cooling Periods, both systems operate simultaneously, rapidly cooling and protecting your stored crops.
During Temperature Maintenance Periods, cost efficiencies are achieved by automatically cycling off one refrigeration circuit. This reduces
operating costs by as much as thirty percent compared to systems that use only a single circuit.

An extremely important component of any cooling system is to maximize airflow over the entire cooling coil surface area. Unlike competitor's
equipment, Refrigeration Systems
developed their designs with the fans "drawing" the air over both the cooling and condenser coils,
rather than blowing the air over them. This superior
design technique ensures air flows evenly over the entire coil, maximizing cooling efficiency and minimizing your cost of operation.
specifically engineered this design, versus blowing
the air over the coils. That design tends to only focus the air through the coils in a circular pattern directly in front of the fan blades,
which decreases cooling efficiency on the rest of the coil.

Refrigeration Systems now offers the
convenience of Programmable Logic Controllers. This
option will allow you to control/adjust your
System from a remote location in or near the building. The P.L.C. system can notify the operator
of an error and can even have an alarm attached as and audible indicator. The "intelligence" of the system
will provide information as to where the error is. For example, an alarm sounding may be an indication of
a temperature rise, or possibly the system is "calling" for a particular compressor to engage, but
it isn't responding... the P.L.C. will "know" this, pinpointing the cause or causes of the alarm.
Multiple Systems can be monitored/controlled
from a single P.L.C.
Additionally, if connected to a modem/phone line,
can monitor and adjust your system remotely, from anywhere!

Every Refrigeration System
can be equipped with a heating feature, which is necessary in certain applications. Depending on humidity
sensitivity, this can be accomplished with either an electric or hot water heating system, but this does not affect the all-in-one design.

Refrigeration Systems are primarily equipped with Scroll
Compressors, for maximum reliability and efficiency. Scroll Compressors have only three moving parts, are essentially vibration free and use
approximately eighteen percent less electricity than comparable reciprocating compressors. Scroll Compressors are also quieter and provide greater
output capacity than reciprocating compressors of equivalent horsepower, further reducing operating costs.

Refrigeration Systems are constructed with a Convenient
One-Piece Design. Installation is uncomplicated, with easy through-the-wall installation, eliminating the high costs associated with onsite assembly.

spent several months coming up with the initial design. A key consideration in every stage was building the system so that it would be quick and easy to service.

Refrigeration Systems are constructed to the highest quality
standards. Pressure tests are performed on the condenser, evaporator and piping systems. Operational tests are completed at the factory on every
unit, to ensure optimum performance.

Refrigeration Systems are engineered to minimize moisture loss
in your storage, maximizing product quality and value.

Refrigeration Systems is able to incorporate custom materials
to better match your cooling environment needs. Acrylic Coated Evaporator Coils have been used to prevent corrosion on
the fins in potato storages, where the sanitizing process to clean the storage can corrode uncoated fins. This coating dramatically increases
the life of the aluminum fins. In fish plants where salt in the air can deteriorate the fins,
provides specially coated fins which are resistant to salt corrosion.

Refrigeration Systems are completely pre-wired and charged
with refrigerant. The self-contained electrical disconnect saves the cost of a separate weather-proof disconnect. The final electrical hook-up
is all that is necessary at the installation site. Refrigeration technicians are not required for installation, which is a cost savings for you.

Refrigeration Systems utilize a Hot Gas Defrosting System which
allows for significantly shorter defrost cycles of the evaporator coils. Once the built-in sensors indicate that the evaporator coils are clear of ice,
the system automatically switches back to cooling mode. Energy costs are minimized and storage temperature is maintained with greater consistency.

Refrigeration Systems are designed with high velocity fans capable
of thrusting cold air up to 100 feet, (30 metres) across the ceiling for maximum air circulation. Optional Air Flow Booster Attachments can be installed
on the system for reaching greater distances, ensuring proper cooling throughout your facility.
A variety of Fan Blades are available, which provide different airflows at various rpm's., depending on the application.
We assess each application to determine the appropriate air flow and the correct fan blades to deliver the proper amount of air over the
evaporator (cooling) coils.

Refrigeration Systems
compact one-piece design requires substantially less refrigerant than conventional split systems. In the unlikely event
of a coolant leak, refill costs are significantly lower.
Technology further enhances this benefit, since a leak would likely involve only one of the individual refrigerant systems. Using less refrigerant means
Refrigeration Systems are more environmentally friendly.
|
|
|
|
Refrigeration Systems are designed with a self-contained drain
system built in. This can save you money by eliminating the need to install an additional drain system.
