SoloChill is a micro-distributed refrigeration system with a unique, small footprint design that delivers distinct benefits when compared to more traditional DX system cases. It’s flexible enough to cool walk-ins, workrooms, service departments and cases. Five different designs can service any and every application throughout an entire store.
SoloChill is a micro-distributed refrigeration system with a unique, small footprint design that delivers distinct benefits when compared to more traditional, DX system cases. It’s flexible enough to cool walk-ins, workrooms, service departments and cases. Five different designs can service just about any application throughout an entire store.
The key is a single, glycol-cooled condensing unit per case that can be mounted on top, beside or behind and completely out of a customer’s sightline. Plus, their sound abatement enclosures are designed without the need for fans making them quiet, with no fan noise to annoy shoppers. Add the units’ low power requirements and SoloChill becomes an important part of any Hillphoenix full-store solution.
Factory-installed units come pre-charged and pre-tested from the factory with only seven pounds or less of refrigerant — well below the fi fty-pound limit required by some regulations. They are practically “plug and play” with quick-connect water hookups and single-point electrical connections making SoloChill incredibly easy to swap out for merchandising changes or store remodels.
Control one or an entire network of condensing units with a BOSS controller from Carel. Know exactly when it’s time for service with BOSS’s remote monitoring capabilities. Then take advantage of the hinged panels on SoloChill for easy-access and connections that are conveniently external. The BOSS open back-net capabilities allows it to communicate with most building management systems (BMS). Opt for a wired computer connection or use a smartphone and an app over wi-fi and maintain complete control of all your cases from the palm of your hand.
Because SoloChill utilizes a single-condenser design, refrigerant charges are localized per case and much easier to control and maintain. Total refrigerant use is lessened dramatically—up to 80% less across the store!
Downtime is dramatically less. During maintenance, only one case needs to be worked on at a time keeping disruptions to a minimum. Pull one case off-line, not a complete multi-case lineup. Also, losses should a leak ever occur are minimized since:
Finally, energy requirements are reduced as the variable speed DC compressors are closely matched to the case load while the condensing unit capacity is modulated to meet cooling demands — a distinct advantage over simple — and more energy-wasteful — on/off compressors.
There are many reasons why Hillphoenix® Refrigeration Systems continues to lead the industry. Why? No matter what the application or the specific refrigeration need, we can offer our customers a wide variety of options and configurations.
