    New to supermarket pack



    Hello, my first post here....

    Ive been in the industry for about 8 years, working on small refrigeration equipment, but have moved onto pack systems....

    My question is...

    Can anybody give me any good websites / information about pack systems?

    I have googled, but get a lot of crud information

    Many thanks

    Hi Matt

    Click on the supermarket forum on this site and you will see a thread called rack/pack service manuals posted by Peter_1 it has some good info.

    Tell us what machines you are working on and i might have some literature kicking around.
    If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

    Look and learn is the only way.
    When on site have a good look at the equipment and try to understand what each part does. Once that is mastered the rest is easy peasy.

    Hi Matt
    If you go on the Supermarket Forum in the Practical refrigeration section, then at the bottom - display options - from the beginning all information will be displayed from when the Supermarket section opened.There are many links and handy threads to get you started.
    Hope this helps.

    You can also get a lot of information from the Sporlan/Parker website such as here...

    A supermarket pipeline for example...

    Re: New to supermarket pack

    Another thing to remember is; just because there are more than one compressor on a rack doesn't mean it operates any differently than a single compressor system.

    You have multiple circuits in parallel with a bunch of pressure regulators and some controls. A little more complicated but essentially the same as a single compressor system.

    Don't let all of the equipment get you excited.
    If all else fails, ask for help.
