Valley Fine Foods Processing Plant - Case Study

Customer's existing refrigeration system was using too much energy and creating excessive electricity bills.
Existing system was having trouble handling current processes with a high failure rate and large service & maintenance costs.
Needed new refrigeration system that could handle current 32,100 square feet of food processing and frozen storage space and also have room for powering upcoming facility expansions.
Wanted new system to be more 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.

RSI - Refrigeration Solutions, Inc. removed existing 300 horsepower open-drive refrigeration system, installed new, variable speed, FortaCool® system in it's place.
Re-piped entire system with sensor & solenoid at all evaporators for increased efficiency.
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.

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.
