How Parallel Compressor Racks Work

Many grocery stores are turning to parallel compressor rack systems to refrigerate cases. "Its basic design consists of a bank of parallel-connected compressors and accessories mounted on a common base, piped to a common discharge suction and liquid header," reports ACHR News.

Let's take a closer look at how it all works:

Capacity control

With a parallel compressor rack, only the compressors needed to carry a given load will run. This is favored over individual compressors, which need to be constantly running to power individual refrigerated cases.

Backup plan

When you have parallel compressor racks, you've always got a backup plan in place. If one compressor breaks down, the other compressors typically will be able to handle the load.

Design flexibility

Rack system design plans will vary, because it's created with a specific refrigeration load in mind. East Coast Refrigeration will work with you to specify the proper equipment needed for your commercial or industrial refrigeration application.
