Refrigeration Equipment

What's the Difference Between Medium-Temp and Low-Temp Refrigeration Equipment?

Medium-temp systems maintain standard refrigerated temperatures, typically in the 35°F to 45°F range, and suit walk-in coolers storing fresh, non-frozen perishables. Low-temp systems maintain temperatures below freezing, suited to walk-in freezers and frozen storage applications. 

What Equipment Makes Up a Refrigeration System?

A complete refrigeration system is built from a few core components: a condensing unit, which compresses and condenses refrigerant outside the cooled space, and an evaporator, which sits inside the cooled space and absorbs heat from the air to bring down the temperature. Self-contained systems package both into a single unit; split systems separate them for more flexible installation.
