Challenge

• Customer was building brand new, 10,000 square foot grocery store
• Needed an energy efficient refrigeration system that could be custom designed and built for unique specifications
• Wanted a single refrigeration system to run multiple suction groups
• Floor space constraints required rack to be custom designed to fit in small area while still being easily accessible.

Solution

• Advanced Systems, Inc. custom designed a FortaCool® variable speed compressor rack to customer's needs and specifications with front mounted VFD drives and side mounted CPC controller.
• Compressors sized for multiple suction groups (Low-temp & medium 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.
• Refrigeration contractor, RSI - Refrigeration Solutions, Inc. installed the 5 compressor, 72 horsepower, FortaCool® variable speed compressor rack in the limited space back-room.

Results

• Single location compressor rack delivers all power and control to entire store.
• 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.
• Custom designed rack allowed for refrigeration system to fit into tight back-room space, giving the customer maximum useable space.
• 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.
