Master-Bilt has unveiled its new parallel rack refrigeration system, which will maximize energy savings while minimizing environmental impact.

The parallel rack refrigeration system, often referred to as a “distributed” system, is a multiple compressor refrigeration unit piped in parallel to yield smooth capacity control as compared to a single compressor unit. A parallel system can be located in a back room or on a roof, in close proximity to refrigeration equipment for reduced piping. Master-Bilt’s parallel units use scroll compressors for the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly system. Parallel units, matched to an appropriate condenser, are modular and allow for additional or modification to compressors, as needed.

Some of the parallel rack refrigeration system’s energy saving features include:

• Ability to match refrigeration capacity to actual load, which amounts to a 20% or more savings over a single compressor unit.
• The lead compressor is a digital scroll which better matches capacity needs, and provides a three percent energy saving over standard parallel units.
• Subcooling increases refrigerant efficiency on low temp applications by approximately 17%.
• Optional heat reclaim increases energy efficiency by reclaiming waste heat from the condenser.
• Optional gas defrost increases energy efficiency by using waste heat for defrost.
