System Selection Criteria Multi-Compressor System Projects requiring four or more condensing units Centralized rooftop footprint and dunnage beneficial Redundant condenser fans desirable Reduced electrical labor and materials cost (high wage areas)
9
Parallel Rack System
10
Parallel Rack Design Goal A parallel rack attempts at any moment of operation to match as closely as possible the amount of electricity being consumed to the amount of work (BTU load) being presented.

Parallel Rack System
12
Two or more compressors Compressors share one refrigerant circuit Can be MT, LT, or both Multiple circuits of liquid and suction lines for fixtures Computerized controller Remote condenser Scroll or Semi-Hermetic compressors (Digital, Fixed) Parallel Rack System

System Selection Criteria Parallel Rack PS System Multiple walk-ins and remote fixtures, large kitchen, commissary, casino Reduced electrical operating cost Redundant compressors protection Available heat reclaim Rack controller manages all refrigeration operating functions Full temperature alarming using E2 Controller
21
Parallel Rack PS System Remote monitoring of all functions Recording and graphing of all temperatures MT and LT operating from one rack Minimum total load MT,LT 40,000btuh Can provide effective heat reclaim for pre-heating domestic water System Selection Criteria
22
Glycol Chiller Parallel Rack Heat Exchanger added to chill glycol/water mix Electric Expansion Valve controls refrigerant to provide energy saving of "Full Floating Discharge Pressure" Circulating pumps, fluid reservoir, air separator added ABS plastic or copper supply and return connection provided

26
Secondary Fluid Control
27
System Selection Criteria Glycol Chiller Rack Greatly reduced refrigerant charge Glycol/water mixture direct refrigerant for all medium temperature equipment (18 deg.) Same fluid used to supply condensers on low temperature condensing units that are direct expansion refrigeration Operation of "water cooled" ice machines and pre-chilling city water for optimum production
28
Glycol Chiller Rack Will accommodate long line runs from rack to fixtures, high elevation for tall buildings All MT fixtures short coincidental defrost System Selection Criteria
