Project Overview
Four Refrigeration Rack Condensers Replaced with Upgraded Controls
The project required modernizing refrigeration equipment serving four rack systems while maintaining temperature-sensitive supermarket operations.
Beyond replacing the condensers, TrueServ Mechanical performed refrigeration piping and valve modifications, integrated electrical and control components, and relocated three refrigeration circuits between rack systems.
Work was carefully sequenced across three overnight installation periods. TrueServ coordinated crane operations, refrigerant recovery, roofing support, and temporary product protection so each affected refrigeration system could return to operation before the store opened the following morning.
Project Highlights
The project included the following refrigeration equipment upgrades, controls integration, and installation work, carefully coordinated to minimize disruption to daily supermarket operations:
Replaced four refrigeration rack condensers serving racks A through D.
Installed four variable-frequency drives and VFD filters.
Modified refrigeration piping, valves, and electrical connections.
Integrated Danfoss controls and ambient sensors.
Relocated and programmed three refrigeration circuits.
Coordinated crane operations, refrigerant recovery, and roofing support.
Protected refrigerated merchandise using Visqueen and dry ice.
- Completed head-pressure testing and operational verification before morning opening.
