Refrigeration for convenience stores and retail

How a refrigeration project is specified

Equipment lists are only useful once the operation is described properly. We work through the same sequence on every project, whichever market it is in.

Describe the operation, not the box. Menu or product mix, covers or output per day, working hours and peak load.
Fix the temperature classes. Storage, preparation, display and freezing each need their own band and recovery expectation.
Match the format to the position. Undercounter and prep tables work the line; reach-ins hold stock; display cases sell; walk-ins and blast cabinets handle volume and process.
Confirm the site. Ambient temperature, ventilation clearance, floor loading, door width, drainage and the electrical supply available.
Confirm documents per market. Certification and labelling follow the model and the destination country, not the catalogue as a whole.

Start from the operation you run

Each solution page below lists the equipment families used in that operation, the parameters that decide the model, and the mistakes that cost the most time in a project.

If your operation mixes two of them, a bakery with a cafe counter or a hotel with central production, send both and we will combine the list.
