Refrigeration Initiative

Print This Page

If you have a large ammonia refrigeration system, we provide you with funding and resources to ensure your system is performing efficiently, and to help you sustain those efficiencies (and cost savings) over the long term.

Is this offer for you?

We can help if your ammonia refrigeration system is a minimum of 200 hp and you are experiencing:

• Difficulty maintaining temperature
• High refrigerant usage
• Air and other contaminants in the system
• Equipment failure
• Inability to react to demand spikes

How it works

The Refrigeration Initiative focuses on improving the design, operation and maintenance issues of the entire system.

We provide full funding for a preliminary end-use assessment of your refrigeration system to identify areas of improvement and associated costs. Based on opportunities identified in end-use assessment, we then provide 75% funding to perform an energy study for a comprehensive investigation of selected refrigeration systems and to help you build the business case for a project. 

When you are ready to implement your project, you may be eligible for financial incentives of up to 75% of the project cost. This helps you remove internal hurdles, such as reducing the project payback period.

Our key account managers, engineers and pre-qualified consultants will work together to guide you through every stage of the process.

Sustaining the savings

Refrigeration data is monitored and periodic performance assessments are conducted.

Education and training

You'll receive access to technical resources and workshops to train your staff on refrigeration system operation and best practices.

It pays to take action

• Improved temperature control maintains product quality and food safety
• Better system performance and reliability lessens the chance of disruptions
• Reduced energy and maintenance costs
• Increased knowledge of your system for you and your staff
• Saves you time and money
