Refrigeration means cooling a space or a thing to lower temperature and maintaining that temperature there without allowing it to increase. Refrigeration is also called artificial or human-made cooling. In order to maintain the refrigeration of various items in the commercial world, there is a need to invent and start using a few types of refrigeration equipment that can do wonders in everyday lives.

Uses of Refrigeration in the Commercial World

The most common use of refrigeration for a household will be using air conditioners and refrigerators that can cool food in houses and restaurants. But there are many other benefits that can be used for various applications.

1. Refrigeration can be used to liquefy gasses like oxygen, nitrogen, and methane.
2. Refrigeration is used in oil refineries, chemical plants, and petrochemical plants to maintain the temperature of certain processes that are required to be at a lower level only.
3. Metal cutters use refrigeration equipment to temper their steel and cutlery.
4. It is also used for transporting food that has to be stored at low temperatures in vehicles like trucks and trains.

Some of the Refrigeration Equipment that is Found in Refrigeration Supply

1. Cold Room Storage
2. The cold rooms should be provided with prefabricated panels that can be very easy to assemble.
3. It should have a wide temperature range and capacity
4. The food should be safe and CPC-free.
5. The operation should be both manual and automatic.

2. Chilling Plant

There are again types in these chillers and they are

1. Air Cooled Chiller
2. Water Cooled Chiller

 iii.    Ice Building Tank

3. Curd Incubation chamber

This curd incubation chamber can be used as both a blast chiller and even for storage as well. Few things to note

1. The standard incubation time will be approximately 4 hours and the standard cooling time will be 5 hours.
2. The incubation process involves pasteurization of the milk, chilling, the addition of culture, Incubation for 4 hours, Chilling up to 1 hour in the blast chamber, and finally storing in the cold room.

4. Bulk Milk Cooler

The capacity of this cooler should be between 250 liters to 10000 liters. Features of this refrigeration equipment include

1. The design will be robust
2. It should occupy minimum space.
3. It should be designed to be user-friendly.
4. It should be designed taking into account the climate in that particular area.

5. Ice cream hardener
6. This equipment is used for preparing ice cream, ice candy, and even for freezing and hardening food.
7. The temperature ideally should be between -22 to -26 degrees celsius.

Conclusion

The key objectives of any company that is developing and manufacturing refrigeration equipment should take into account that the technology they are using should be user-friendly. There are many gaps in various industries where new types of refrigeration are required and these pieces of equipment are working in that direction.
