Typical Specifications

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities typically range from 2 kW to 20 kW, depending on the intended cold room volume and temperature differential.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz power supplies, though smaller units may use 230V, 1-phase.

Refrigerant type

Modern units typically utilise HFC refrigerants such as R404A or R407C, with newer installations moving towards lower GWP alternatives like R448A or R449A.

Temperature range

Units are typically designed for chilled applications (+2°C to +8°C) or frozen applications (-18°C to -25°C), with some capable of operating across both ranges.

Compressor type

Hermetic or semi-hermetic reciprocating or scroll compressors are commonly used for reliability and efficiency in this equipment class.

Control system

Typically features a digital thermostat with temperature display, defrost control, and alarm functions.
