Industrial refrigeration in Chinchero

Chinchero sits at about 3,750 meters above sea level, higher than the city of Cusco. At that altitude the air is much less dense, and air-cooled units get rid of less heat than at sea level. A unit chosen only from the catalog figures can fall short.

On top of that, the cold nights on the high plateau change how the refrigeration circuit behaves: when outdoor temperatures drop, the condensing pressure drops too, and some units need a control to run steadily. It's a technical detail we check when we put together your quote.

In a cold climate, most businesses need to preserve food more than they need to cool their rooms. That's why the work in Chinchero centers on cold rooms, freezers, refrigerators and display cases.

We serve:

• Restaurants and kitchens that host groups of visitors.
• Guesthouses and hostels.
• Shops, market stalls and minimarkets.
• Workshops and centers that serve visitors food and drinks.

The outdoor unit needs good ventilation, but in an open, windy spot it also needs protection without being covered up. When we choose its location, we pay attention to three things:

• avoiding corners where the hot air coming out gets drawn back into the condenser;
• shielding it from wind and direct rain without blocking the air intake;
• leaving room to reach it and service it.

A good location extends the life of the equipment and avoids unnecessary service calls.
