Andy's Market

Customer had antiquated refrigeration system consisting of 15 existing "one-on-one" compressor condensing units taking up valuable space, some in the back room and others in hard to maintenance rooftop locations.
The current system was creating a large draw on electricity, resulting in excessively high power bills and took up a great deal of usable space in the back room that customer wanted to use for temporary product storage.
To meet demand of store upgrade and support new cases to be installed, customer needed a new, energy efficient refrigeration system that reduced the electricity bill, while also allowing for support of increased demand from new cases, and saved floor space.

Install contractor, RSI - Refrigeration Solutions, Inc. removed 15 existing "one-on-one" compressor condensing units totalling 78 horsepower in the back room and on the roof and replaced the old system with a 5 compressor, 48 horsepower, FortaCool® variable speed compressor rack in an insulated, weatherproof portable machine house and rood mounted condenser.
To save floor space and allow for easier accessibility, the compressor rack was built inside of an portable, insulated machine house and placed on the roof of the store.
Combined existing refrigeration branch lines to medium temp and low temp suction groups.
Monitor, temperature control, compressor speed control and alarm to each system to CPC refrigeration.
Converted all systems to R-507 refrigerant

Customer enjoys significant savings on monthly electric bill even after increasing demand from adding new cases.
Once unusable back room, now cleared out and used for value adding activities such as short term product storage and overstock.
Reduced service and maintenance costs on system and reduced overall time of service and maintenance from new ease of accessibility.
