At Tadam Tech, we take pride in providing reliable and efficient refrigeration solutions for commercial businesses. Recently, we completed a major project at a hotel in Schaumburg, replacing both a walk-in cooler and a walk-in freezer. This project presented unique challenges, but our team successfully delivered a solution tailored to the client’s needs.
Walk-In Cooler: From Diagnosis to Replacement
The hotel’s walk-in cooler had completely stopped working, disrupting their operations. After our initial assessment, we explored the possibility of repairs but discovered that the equipment was too old and beyond restoration. We recommended a complete replacement, and the client agreed.
Our Process:
- Equipment Selection & Procurement
We carefully selected new equipment that would meet the hotel’s cooling requirements. Thanks to our efficient procurement process, we had the equipment delivered within a week of client approval. - Removal & Installation
- Demolition: The old unit was dismantled and removed with care to avoid disruption to the hotel’s operations.
- Condensing Unit Installation: The new condensing unit was installed with precision to ensure efficient cooling.
- Evaporator Installation: The evaporator was positioned for optimal airflow and performance.
- Refrigerant Handling
- Evacuation of Refrigerant: We evacuated the system to remove contaminants and prepare for the new refrigerant.
- Charging Refrigerant: The appropriate refrigerant was charged into the system, and levels were carefully monitored.
- Pressure Testing: A thorough pressure test ensured there were no leaks or system irregularities.
- Tight Space Challenges
Commercial kitchens often have limited space, and this installation was no exception. Our technicians worked meticulously to complete the job efficiently and safely. - Performance Testing
After installation, we monitored the system to ensure the cooler reached and maintained the required temperature. Once we were satisfied with the results, we handed over the fully operational system to the client.
Walk-In Freezer: A More Complex Challenge
The walk-in freezer presented a different issue—it struggled to maintain the low temperatures required for frozen storage. Unlike the cooler, freezers require more robust equipment to handle extreme conditions.
Our Process:
The replacement process was similar to that of the cooler but involved installing higher-capacity equipment to meet the freezer’s more demanding requirements.
- High-Capacity Equipment Installation
- We selected powerful condensing and evaporator units to ensure consistent low-temperature performance.
- Efficient Replacement
- Working within the same tight conditions, our team efficiently removed the old system and installed the new components, including refrigerant evacuation, charging, and thorough pressure testing.
- Performance Testing
- We tested the system rigorously to confirm it could consistently maintain freezing temperatures, ensuring the equipment was fully operational and reliable.
The Result: Reliable Refrigeration Solutions
Both the walk-in cooler and freezer are now fully operational, providing the hotel with reliable, efficient refrigeration systems. The client was delighted with the results, and we’re proud to have delivered another successful project that supports their business operations.
