Choosing refrigeration equipment for fresh food freezers requires balancing temperature control, energy efficiency, and operational stability. Here’s a concise guide: First,define temperature needs based on products. For meats/seafood (-18°C to -25°C) or quick-freeze items (-30°C to -40°C), select units with stable low-temperature performance and minimal fluctuations (≤±1°C). For fruits/vegetables (0°C to 10°C), prioritize precise temperature and humidity control (85%-95% humidity). Second, calculate cooling load considering size, insulation, and product heat. A 300m³ low-temp freezer may need 15-20kW cooling capacity. Third, select system type. Scroll compressors suit small freezers (<50m³) for compactness and low noise. Reciprocating systems work for medium sizes (50-500m³), while screw compressors fit large facilities (>1000m³) with high efficiency. Prioritize **eco-friendly refrigerants** like R513A or CO₂ (for large setups) over phased-out options (R22). Opt for energy-efficient models (COP ≥3.0 for small, ≥4.0 for large units) with variable frequency drives. Ensure reliability: Choose reputable brands (Bitzer, Copeland) with overload protection. For smart management, integrate remote monitoring and auto-defrost functions. Avoid cost-cutting on key components; poor-quality equipment increases long-term risks. Match equipment to insulation quality to prevent energy waste.
