Lennox CAC160DM1M Refrigeration plant

• Maintaining low temperatures in commercial cold rooms and freezer rooms.
• Refrigeration for food storage in catering, retail, and hospitality sectors.
• Temperature control for industrial processes requiring chilled environments.
• Preserving perishable goods in distribution centres and logistics operations.

Cooling capacity

Typically suitable for medium to large cold room applications, often ranging from 15 kW to 30 kW, depending on specific unit configuration and operating conditions.

Compressor configuration

Units of this type commonly feature multiple compressors (e.g., two) for redundancy and efficient partial load operation.

Fan system

A four-fan system is indicative of higher airflow and heat rejection capabilities, suitable for larger volumes or more demanding cooling loads.

Refrigerant type

For units manufactured in 2017, common refrigerants would include R404A or R407C, though buyers should verify the specific refrigerant used.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK, with appropriate amperage for the compressor and fan motors.

Heat exchanger type

Units commonly feature air-cooled condensers, with specific designs varying by manufacturer.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used refrigeration plant?

  With proper maintenance, a well-built refrigeration plant can operate effectively for 10-15 years or more. The 2017 manufacture date suggests a significant operational life remaining.

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

• Can this unit be used for both chiller and freezer applications?

• What are the common installation requirements?

• 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.
