The challenge

Prevent spoilage and save stock when refrigeration failed

Aggreko was asked to find a rapid solution to prevent spoilage of the customers’ stored food stock when temperatures at their distribution centre’s cold store began to rise.

We worked with the customer’s refrigeration and facilities management company and discovered that the fan coil units inside the cold store were freezing up due to under performing evaporators and moisture/warm air ingress.

This resulted in reduced cooling capacity and caused the temperature in the cold store to rise.
