Pack systems
Hello All,
First off I thought id put this post in this section as i didn't feel it would be necessary to post into the supermarket section.
Basically, i have worked on normal commercial refrigeration units (uprights, under counters, countertop, and cold rooms) for just over 10 years, recently i gained my C&G2079 qualification and have since been getting more and more involved with the units.
This week i was made redundant as the company i worked for lost a few contracts and didn't have room for me anymore.
I posted my CV on a few job sites as well as calling around a few companies and it seems there is a lot of demand for supermarket refrigeration engineers, from the basics i know on supermarket fridge is its all pack systems and some are co2 as well?
Would working on a pack system be too much to learn while working for a company or is it just a bigger version of normal systems with remote condensers?
Any advice/input would be appreciated.

Packs have there own problems but they are only larger systems
compared to what you are used to. The rest of the stuff in-store is
as you described, integrals, counter fridges, uprights and other
type's of commercial.
If you do get a job offer be honest and tell them you have limited
experience with packs but in all honesty you won't get experience
with packs unless you are working with them so research and get
as much information as possible about them and then impress
the socks off the interviewer. Once you get the job you will then start
learning.

One point of interest.
How are you with electrics?
Supermarkets and their like fail electrically most of the time
and a good knowledge of 3 phase, control, direct on line and
star - delta are all important to know.
