One newer approach involves modular condenser coils designed so each of up to 14 refrigeration modules utilizes an individual coil section. That method comes from New Albany, Miss.-headquartered Master-Bilt, which is using the design in its MRS series modular multi-compressor refrigeration systems. The purpose, according to the company, is to reduce heat and noise in such places as fast food restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, and other foodservice operations.
"By remoting all refrigeration systems in establishments - including those in reach-ins, walk-ins, and ice machines - to a single MRS system, business owners can remove the heat produced by multiple refrigeration systems from their kitchen or store and reduce their air conditioning load," said Bill Huffman, Master-Bilt's vice president of sales and marketing.
