Refrigeration
Our refrigeration units are meticulously sized to both maintain and expeditiously draw down pile temperature, addressing a critical shortcoming we observe in many refrigeration systems that are often improperly sized. One of the standout features of our refrigeration systems is simplified seasonal start up and reduced service complexity from season to season. With robust safeguards and protective controls built into the system startup is straightforward, often as simple as the flip of a switch, providing true “on demand” functionality and peace of mind. While routine maintenance is still essential for long term reliability, our design minimizes unexpected service requirements and streamlines seasonal commissioning.
Many refrigeration units rely on an outdated on/off design approach, causing the unit to cycle multiple times during operation. This not only leads to unnecessary wear and tear on most associated components but also creates significant fluctuations in plenum temperature, undermining the overall efficiency and longevity of the system. In stark contrast, our advanced system dynamically scales from 120% down to 50% of compressor capacity. Furthermore, it incorporates a reverse loading capability ensuring continuous operation. This innovative design maintains the plenum temperature with pinpoint accuracy, keeping your refrigeration system running smoothly and efficiently from season to season. By choosing our solution, you are investing in a state-of-the-art refrigeration system that prioritizes longevity, efficiency, and precise temperature control, setting a new standard in the industry.
Features & Benefits
Comprehensive Data Monitoring
BTU is the only system in the industry that polls all refrigeration data ensuring complete visibility of the efficiency and operation capacity of the system. Our systems also include access for remote technical support for the refrigeration system. This allows our technicians access to optimize your system in real-time. Standard features include detailed records of refrigeration operations.
Auto Unloading for Safety
BTU systems are equipped with auto unloading for many conditions that could affect the operation capability of the system but also the efficiency. If any of these parameters are exceeded, the system automatically unloads to correct the issue. For example, in high-ambient conditions, if pressures or temperatures rise, the system will unload just enough to maintain the optimal parameters until the ambient temperature drops.
Custom Electronic Expansion Valve
BTU utilizes the latest electronic expansion valve control technology, exclusive to our systems. Our custom controller ensures maximum evaporator efficiency, with valves opening to the precise amount for maximum efficiency, while maintaining the proper levels of temperature and pressure at the compressor.
Easy Troubleshooting
All relay outputs feature LED indicators for easy diagnostics, and all terminal blocks and wiring are clearly numbered to match the electrical schematics.
Intelligent Compressor Staging
In a two-compressor system, staging is coordinated to ensure equal runtime between compressors. As cooling demand increases beyond the capacity of one compressor, the second compressor is activated. Unlike other systems that cycle compressors on and off, our system ramps the lead compressor down from 100% to 50% while the lag compressor starts at 50%. This creates a smooth transition as both compressors increase in tandem to meet cooling demand. As demand decreases, the lag compressor shuts off, and the lead compressor ramps back up to 100%, ensuring continuous smooth operation.
Seamless Communication
Both compressors constantly communicate with each other, ensuring that if one experiences an issue, the other takes immediate control to maintain system performance.
