ColdMatch facilitates sourcing and RFQs; it does not manufacture, sell, import or export the listed products and is not a regulatory authority. Suppliers are responsible for their products meeting the requirements of the origin and destination countries; buyers for import permissions, local rules and due diligence. Requirements vary by product and country, and the team checks requests before any supplier contact. Regulation and restricted items

Is this the right system for you?

Best fit when

  • Several evaporators need one factory-built compressor set, or a single room needs a condensing unit.
  • You want a packaged solution rather than a site-built engine room.

Evaluate carefully when

  • The refrigerant is subject to phase-down or restrictions where you operate — check current local rules.
  • Outdoor installation in hot, dusty or coastal conditions affects condenser selection.

Operating context and compatibility

Confirm capacity at the evaporating temperature, refrigerant, number of evaporators, indoor or outdoor location, electrical supply and controls integration.

Maintenance, risks and compliance questions

Maintenance to plan for

  • Planned servicing by technicians qualified for the refrigerant used.
  • Leak detection, safety valve and alarm testing.

Risks to manage

  • Refrigerant release — toxic for ammonia, high pressure for CO₂.
  • Loss of cooling to every connected room when the plant stops.

Compliance questions to raise

  • Safety codes and permits for the chosen refrigerant and machine room.
  • Refrigerant restrictions and technician certification rules where you operate.

ColdMatch does not certify equipment or guarantee compliance; requirements depend on your country and project, and your advisers and authorities decide what applies.

Components often specified with it

Sizing and specification questions

Answer these in your request so supplier offers are comparable.

  • Cooling capacity and evaporating temperature
  • Refrigerant
  • Number of evaporators served
  • Indoor or outdoor installation
  • Electrical supply

Unknown items can be left open — the ColdMatch team will ask before approaching suppliers.

Procurement decisions for refrigeration plant

  • Total cooling load, temperature levels and how the load varies over the day and year.
  • Refrigerant choice (for example ammonia, CO₂ or HFC/HFO) and the competence available to operate it.
  • Machine-room space, safety requirements and local regulation for the chosen refrigerant.
  • Service coverage, spare parts and operator training in your country.
