Industrial and commercial refrigeration: Do you know the difference?

Industrial refrigeration and commercial refrigeration differ significantly in equipment and application. Industrial refrigeration uses large-scale refrigeration equipment for cooling, often used in large-scale industrial production. Commercial refrigeration uses smaller refrigeration equipment, mainly used in commercial settings such as supermarkets and restaurants.

　 　What are the differences between industrial refrigeration and commercial refrigeration?

　　Industrial and commercial refrigeration differ significantly in equipment and applications. Industrial refrigeration uses large-scale refrigeration equipment for cooling, often used in large-scale industrial production. Commercial refrigeration uses smaller refrigeration equipment, mainly used in commercial settings such as supermarkets and restaurants.

　　Specifically, in terms of equipment, commercial refrigeration generally uses mechanical compression condensers, including direct expansion systems and indirect expansion systems, while industrial refrigeration usually uses reciprocating or screw compressors, combined with condensers and evaporators, using refrigerants to lower the temperature to the required level.

　　In terms of application, industrial refrigeration is mainly used in large-scale industrial production areas such as frozen food, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and steel. Its cold storage warehouses are large and can hold a large amount of materials. Commercial refrigeration is more commonly used in small commercial settings such as supermarkets and restaurants, often used to store food and beverage products, and its freezing temperatures are not as low.

　 　II. Application Scenarios of Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration

　　In industrial refrigeration, the rapid development of China's logistics industry has driven the development of the cold chain industry. Industrial refrigeration is widely used in production areas involving steel, petroleum, cement, etc. In addition, industrial refrigeration is also widely used in catering, medicine, and agriculture. For example, industrial refrigeration is also widely used in food refrigeration and logistics.

　　Commercial refrigeration is generally used in the retail and supermarket industries, mainly for storing food and beverage products, and market supply shows that the demand for the commercial refrigeration market has increased.

　　In general, refrigeration technology plays a crucial role in logistics and food safety. Whether it is commercial or industrial refrigeration, its application scenarios and equipment have different characteristics and differences, and are very important for different industries.
