Cold Food Storage Facility | CO2 Transcritical Refrigeration

CO2 Case Study: Hagerstown

A worldwide e-commerce giant was growing its physical retail presence, transitioning from dozens of hyper-local basket-grocery stores to more than 450 organic supermarkets nationwide. To facilitate this swift growth, the company required new distribution centers capable of handling substantial orders of fresh and frozen foods, with one site located in Maryland.

The Problem

Plans were designed to transform an empty facility into an integrated refrigerated distribution center, yet much remained to be accomplished.

Project Equipment

  • 5 outdoor machine houses, 2 split temp. (LT & MT), semi-hermetic compressors
  • All control and monitoring systems, all 5 machine houses linked to a central portal
  • 5 Guntner adiabatic gas coolers
  • Stainless steel piping mains, rooftop. XHP coil piping from rooftop isolation valves to coils
  • Underfloor heating system with reclaimed heat from one rack,encompassing freezer and meat cooler spaces.
  • Underfloor PEX system with multiple manifolds, main rooftop heated fluid distribution.
  • Energy saving EC evaporator fan and gas cooler motors
  • 57 compressors 2350 HP
  • 1320 tons capacity at various suction temps.
  • Parallel compression for high ambient peaking

The Solution

Collaborating seamlessly, the CoolSys engineering, mechanical equipment sourcing, project management, and equipment installation teams joined forces to procure, deliver, install, and calibrate all refrigeration and EMS control systems.
