Carlisle Refrigeration - REFRIGERATION UNITS

• Maintaining chilled temperatures in large cold storage rooms for food products.
• Providing cooling for industrial processes requiring precise temperature control.
• Refrigeration in distribution centres for perishable goods.
• Temperature regulation in pharmaceutical storage facilities.

Cooling capacity

Units of this type commonly offer cooling capacities suitable for medium to large cold rooms, with specific units like the Kelvion SM163-44-A1 rated at approximately 56.4kW.

Compressor power

Typically, packaged refrigeration plants in this class feature motors ranging from 15hp to 30hp, with the Copeland 4MA1-22X-AWM indicating a 22hp motor size.

Evaporator configuration

Evaporators for such systems commonly feature multiple fans (e.g., 3-fan) to ensure even air distribution within the refrigerated space.

Refrigerant type

Modern units typically utilise HFC or HFO refrigerants, subject to current F-Gas regulations.

Operating temperature range

This class of equipment is designed for maintaining positive chilled temperatures, commonly in the range of +2°C to +8°C, depending on the application.

Power supply

Industrial refrigeration units typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK.

• What is included in a 'complete package'?

  A complete package typically includes the condensing unit (compressor, condenser, receiver) and the evaporator unit. Ancillary components like control panels and pipework may or may not be included; buyers should confirm with the seller.

• Can these units be used for freezer applications?

• What is the typical footprint of such units?

• Are these units suitable for outdoor installation?

• What maintenance is typically required for these units?

• Do these units come with a warranty?

Used food processing chillers are generally regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritise units with documented maintenance histories and verified cooling capacity. Key strengths include robust construction, long operational lifespans, and relatively straightforward repair procedures. When purchasing, focus on verifying refrigerant type compatibility, checking for corrosion or leakage signs, and confirming energy efficiency ratings. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Condition assessment and proper installation remain critical for optimal performance.
