Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 5 kW to 30 kW, depending on the compressor and evaporator sizing.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz.

Refrigerant type

Modern units commonly utilise HFC refrigerants such as R404A or R407C, though older systems may use different types.

Evaporator configuration

A twin-fan evaporator, as described, is commonly used for efficient air circulation in medium to large cold rooms.

Compressor type

Copeland compressors are widely recognised for their reliability and are commonly found in commercial refrigeration applications.

Temperature range

Refrigeration sets are typically designed to maintain temperatures between -5°C and +10°C, suitable for chilled storage.

• What is included in a 'refrigeration set'?

  A refrigeration set typically comprises the primary components required for a cold room: a compressor unit (often an outdoor or plant room unit) and an evaporator unit (installed inside the cold room), along with associated controls and pipework.

• Is this unit suitable for a freezer room?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used refrigeration set?

• Can I install this myself?

• How do I determine if this unit is correctly sized for my cold room?

Cold rooms and refrigeration units are considered essential assets in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise reliability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours equipment from reputable manufacturers known for durability. Key considerations include checking refrigerant systems, insulation condition, and temperature consistency. Well-maintained units often deliver strong performance at reduced cost compared to new alternatives, making them attractive for budget-conscious operations seeking dependable temperature control.
