Refrigeration Equipment


Refrigeration systems are vital for many businesses across diverse industries. They preserve products, materials, and ingredients by maintaining the proper temperatures for every item.


There are a variety of refrigeration systems available, each with its own intended purpose and unique benefits.


Below, the experts at Barr Inc. introduce you to the eight most common types of refrigeration systems, with an explanation of their applications and advantages. With this knowledge, you can choose the best refrigeration system for your operations.


Commercial Refrigeration Systems


In order to choose the best system for your business, you must understand the different types of refrigeration systems and how they differ. At Barr Inc., we offer an expansive catalog with 8 different types of commercial refrigeration unit, including:



Ammonia Refrigerators


Ammonia refrigerators are large, industrial-strength units. They are mostly used in food processing plants and warehouses because of their ability to maintain very low temperatures (-40°F).


They work by using an ammonia solution to remove heat from the air inside the fridge.


Blast Freezing Equipment


Blast freezing equipment is used to rapidly freeze large quantities of food. This type of refrigeration is often used in the seafood industry, as it can preserve the quality and taste of fish and other seafood.


Blast freezing can also be used to quick-freeze other products, like meat, fruits, and vegetables.


Chillers


Chillers are used to cool liquids, like water or oil. They work by circulating the liquid through a series of tubes in the chiller unit.


Chillers are often used in factories and laboratories, as they can cool large quantities of liquid quickly and evenly.


Compressor Racks


Compressor racks are a type of commercial refrigeration system that uses multiple compressors to cool a large area. Compressor racks are often used in supermarkets, as they can efficiently cool a large space.


Compressors for a Walk-In Cooler


A walk-in cooler unit is a large, commercial refrigeration machine that can be used to store food or other products. They work by circulating cold air through the unit, using a commercial refrigeration compressor.


Walk-in cooler refrigeration units are often used in restaurants, grocery stores, and warehouses.


Condensing Units


Condensing units are a type of commercial refrigeration system that uses a compressor to cool air. The compressor circulates the air through a series of coils, which remove heat from the air.


Condensing units are often used in office buildings, hotels, and hospitals.


Evaporators


Evaporators are used to remove water from the air. They work by circulating the air through a series of coils, which remove moisture from the air. Evaporators are often used in factories, greenhouses, and laboratories.


Low-Temperature Systems


Low-temperature systems are commercial refrigeration units that can maintain very low temperatures, like -40°F. They work by using a compressor to circulate the air through a series of coils, which remove heat from the air.


Low-temperature systems are often used in food processing plants and warehouses.


Medium-Temperature Systems


Medium-temperature systems are commercial refrigeration units that can maintain temperatures between -40°F and 0°F. They work by using a compressor to circulate the air through a series of coils, which remove heat from the air.


Medium-temperature systems are often used in restaurants and grocery stores.


Remote Condensers


Remote condensers are a type of commercial refrigeration system that uses a compressor to cool air. The compressor circulates the air through a series of coils, which remove heat from the air.


Remote condensers are often used in office buildings, hotels, and hospitals.
