Challenge
- New facility needed single solution for energy efficient refrigeration
- Wanted new system to be energy efficient and require less service and maintenance and reduced component failures.
- Large product loss in the event of a failure required 24/7 monitoring and quick response time and troubleshooting.
Solution
- RSI - Refrigeration Solutions, Inc. installed custom compressor rack built by Advanced Systems, Inc.
- Compressors sized for multiple suction groups (Low-temp, medium temp, and high temp.) all in one easy to access location.
- Computer programmed CPC controller allows for easy troubleshooting and system condition checks with easy to read alarm codes and descriptions.
- UltraSite off site monitoring capability integrated into system and put on 24/7 system monitoring by Advanced, Inc.
Results
- New variable speed, FortaCool® refrigeration system supplies power to entire facility at lower energy usage with room for handling upcoming facility expansions.
- Variable speed drives control compressors to ramp up and down as needed to meet the required refrigeration load, eliminating power spikes and peak demand charges.
- Integration of the FortaCool® UltraSite monitoring allows for constant off site monitoring and troubleshooting, leading to reduced service and maintenance costs as well as reducing product loss and response time.
