HK Refrigeration Refrigeration plant

• Maintaining precise temperature control for perishable food items in commercial kitchens and food storage facilities.
• Chilling ingredients and prepared foods in restaurants, catering operations, and bakeries.
• Providing cold storage for raw materials and finished products in small to medium-sized food processing plants.
• Supporting temperature-sensitive processes in breweries, dairies, and other beverage production facilities.

Typical refrigeration capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 5 kW to 25 kW, suitable for various cold room sizes.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz, though single-phase options may exist for smaller systems.

Refrigerant type

Modern units often utilise HFC or HFO refrigerants, selected for their efficiency and environmental profile.

Compressor type

Copeland compressors, as mentioned, are commonly scroll or semi-hermetic reciprocating types, known for reliability.

Evaporator configuration

Twin-fan evaporators are standard for effective air circulation and temperature distribution within the refrigerated space.

Temperature range

This equipment is typically designed for medium to low temperature applications, commonly maintaining temperatures between -5°C and +5°C for chillers, or down to -25°C for freezers.

• What is included in a 'refrigeration plant'?

  A refrigeration plant typically comprises a compressor unit, a condenser (often air-cooled), an evaporator (like the twin-fan unit mentioned), and associated controls and pipework. This listing specifies an evaporator and compressor.

• Is this unit suitable for a freezer room or a chiller room?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of refrigeration plant?

• Can this plant be easily integrated into an existing cold room?

• What are the typical space requirements for a unit like this?

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.
