Choose from replacement compressors and complete split systems designed for walk-in cooler and freezer applications. Capacities range from 1,100 to 5,720 BTU, ideal for fractional-ton light commercial systems. Select models list Operating Mode: Freezer for low-temp boxes, while medium-temp options support reach-ins and coolers. Ice machines from trusted brands deliver dependable daily production for bars, cafes, and quick-serve kitchens.

SEER2 rating don’t apply to commercial refrigeration; instead, size by BTU load and application. Refrigerant options include R-134A for many medium-temp systems and R-404A for low-temp freezer duty, along with models that support R-407C or R-410A. Some compressors and components are listed as compatible with multiple refrigerants (e.g., R-404A, R-134A), helping streamline upgrades and service work. Always verify charge, oil type, and controls during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What refrigerant types are supported by these compressors and systems?

    Selections include R-134A, R-404A, R-407C, and R-410A. Some models are dual-rated (e.g., R-404A, R-134A). Always match the unit to the approved refrigerant.

  • How do I select the right BTU capacity for a walk-in cooler or freezer?

    Size by heat load: box size, insulation, ambient temps, door openings, and product pull-down. Our options span roughly 1,100-5,720 BTU for fractional-ton needs.

  • Are these refrigeration split systems suitable for freezer applications?

    Yes. Look for models labeled Operating Mode: Freezer and refrigerants like R-404A that are commonly used for low-temperature systems.

  • Which models are compatible with R-404A versus R-134A?

    R-404A is typically used for low-temp freezers; R-134A suits many medium-temp coolers. Check each unit’s nameplate and documentation for approved refrigerants.

  • Do ice machines require a dedicated water and drain setup?

    Yes. A potable water supply, proper filtration, and a gravity or pump-assisted drain are required. Follow local codes and manufacturer guidelines.

  • What are the differences between Copeland and Carlyle compressors in this category?

    Both are trusted. Copeland offers broad scroll and semi-hermetic options; Carlyle is known for robust semi-hermetic designs. Choose by capacity, refrigerant, and duty.

  • Can these products be used for retrofit from R-22 to approved refrigerants?

    Often, yes-commonly to refrigerants like R-407C if the equipment is approved. Oil changes, metering adjustments, and component verification are typically required.

  • Are professional installation and EPA certification required for these refrigeration products?

    Yes. EPA Section 608 certification is required to handle refrigerants, and professional installation is strongly recommended for safety and warranty compliance.

  • What comes in a typical refrigeration split system package?

    Generally, a condensing unit and an evaporator coil/air handler matched for capacity and refrigerant, plus controls. Line sets, drains, and electrical are site-specific.

  • How do I size ice production for my restaurant or bar?

    Estimate peak demand (drinks, prep, storage) and add a safety margin. Match daily pounds of ice to usage, ambient conditions, and bin capacity.
