Distributed Systems Serviceability

Why is it that the Other Guys’
commercial refrigeration units are so hard to access for routine maintenance or service?

The AdaptaPak and InviroPak distributed refrigeration systems aren’t like other complicated, hard-to-access systems. Both cost-reducing, margin-improving options are incredibly easy to service by design.

Low Charge Synthetic Refrigeration Sytems

AdaptaPak is designed for outdoor use and may be located on the roof or next to the building, freeing up valuable interior floor space. Its ease of access to internal components from all four sides separates it from the competition. The unit is available in multiple sizes and may be used as a central system for smaller stores or as a distributed system for larger retail stores.

Serviceability benefits include:

  • A compressor section that’s isolated, making it accessible while the unit is operational—no interrupted airflow or downtime
  • Smart design that provides room for quick and easy servicing and component maintenance
  • Hinged doors on compressor and electrical sections for effortless access

Additional benefits include:

  • Reduces the amount and cost of refrigerant by moving the system closer to the load
  • Small footprint frees up valuable floor space
  • Includes high side package and has an integrated condenser
  • Choice of one or two suction groups

InviroPak is designed for indoor use and may be placed anywhere inside the store, freeing up valuable interior floor space. Hinged doors and removable panels allow easy access to internal components. It is available in multiple sizes and may be used as a central system for smaller stores or as a distributed system for larger retail stores.

Why Use Distributed Refrigeration Systems?

Traditional supermarkets, mass merchandisers and warehouse membership retailers are reducing their footprints to reduce their bottom line costs. At the same time, small format stores are getting larger to answer customer demand. These current trends have important implications:

The Issue:
In traditional food retail stores, refrigeration and lighting account for more than 75% of electricity consumption — while offering significant opportunities for energy savings and cost reduction.

The Solutions:
The AdaptaPak and InviroPak are shipped ready to install with standard connections. As a distributed system, the units can be located closer to the loads, reducing energy, refrigerant and piping costs. As a central system, the units can reduce the cost and complexity of installing multiple single condensing units.

The Issue:
Optimal design requires retailers to utilize every square foot of space for sales related activities.

The Solutions:
The AdaptaPak and InviroPak compact designs allow the units to be placed in out-of-the-way locations, freeing up valuable floor space.
