Condensing Units

Condensing Units

Commercial refrigerators are crucial to many more industries than just the food service industry. They can provide additional support to your existing cooling systems. This means condensing units are vital in keeping many of your favorite products cold until you enjoy them!

Choosing Air-Cooled Condensing Units

How do you choose the correct size condensing unit for your business? That’s a question we’ve tackled on behalf of thousands of companies since 1978! We know which factors create an ideal combination of chilled air and easy installation.

What to Look for In A Reliable Condensing Unit

How do you choose your condensing unit? It depends on Line Height & Volume and BTU Ratings.

Line Height And Volume That Fits Available Space

First, the size of your condensing unit will be one of the most critical factors in how well it performs. That’s because a unit that’s too small won’t be able to keep up with demand, and a unit that’s too large will end up costing you more money in energy bills.

For tinier stock, a business may consider outdoor condensing units to optimize available storefront space or small indoor evaporative units. Where will you store the condensing team? What available capacity do you have in terms of volume and power?

BTU Ratings

Generally, you should calculate around 50 BTUs per cubic foot of interior space for refrigerators or 70-80 BTUs per foot for freezers. Once you know the BTU rating your workspace requires, divide that number by 12,000 to determine how many tons of cooling capacity you need.

For example, if you have a 500-cubic-foot commercial refrigerator, you need a condensing unit with 25,000 BTUs of cooling capacity. But if you run a minor operation and don’t require as much, you can benefit from our condensing units with capabilities as low as 7,000 BTUs!

Industries That Rely On Commercial Freezer Condenser Units

Commercial refrigerator condenser units are relied on by businesses in a wide range of industries. Some may not surprise you based on the perishables they carry:

- The Food Service Industry: One of the most obvious examples is restaurants, cafes, bakeries, grocery stores, and more. They all need commercial freezers to keep food fresh.
- The Pharmaceutical Industry: Another crucial application for commercial freezers is storing vaccines and other temperature-sensitive medication.
- The Manufacturing Industry: In many cases, raw materials must be stored at precise temperatures. That’s where commercial freezers come in!
- The Retail Industry: Many retail businesses use commercial freezers to store low-temperature consumer packaged goods.
