Refrigeration Equipment RFQs done right
Equipment RFQs live and die by the specificity of their component-level requirements. The ColdMatch Refrigeration Equipment RFQ generator lets buyers specify compressors, evaporators, condensers, controls and ancillaries at the detail suppliers need to quote firm — not indicative — prices.
Component-level fields
Fields cover screw, reciprocating and scroll compressors; DX, flooded and pumped-recirculation evaporators; air- and evaporative-cooled condensers; PLC and BEMS control systems.
- Compressor duty, refrigerant, oil management, capacity control
- Evaporator air volume, fin spacing, defrost, drain-pan heaters
- Condenser fluid, water treatment, VFD fans, sound limits
- Controls: PLC brand, HMI, remote access, alarm hierarchy
- Ancillaries: receivers, oil separators, isolators, safety valves
Standards, safety and certifications
Multi-select for PED, ASME, EN 378, ATEX, UL, CE, EAC and regional pressure-vessel codes. Selecting the standards updates the generated tender narrative and the evaluation criteria automatically.
How to issue a refrigeration equipment RFQ
Component-first workflow for capex-grade equipment tenders.
- 1Define the project envelopeEnter project country, industry, facility type (new build, expansion, retrofit), storage temperature bands, ambient conditions, capacity in m³ or tons, and daily throughput.
- 2Specify the refrigeration systemSelect system type (ammonia, CO₂ transcritical, cascade, HFC/HFO), refrigerant preference, and target components: compressors, evaporators, condensers, and control system.
- 3Describe the building envelopeAdd insulated panels, doors, flooring, loading docks, racking systems, and required standards (HACCP, BRC, GDP, ATEX, IFS) with regional certifications.
- 4Attach drawings and BOQUpload architectural drawings, single-line diagrams, tender BOQ, and any existing technical specifications. The AI assistant flags gaps in real time.
- 5Set commercial termsChoose Incoterms, payment terms, warranty period, delivery deadline, installation and commissioning scope, training, spare parts and maintenance SLA.
- 6Generate and distributeExport the RFQ, RFP, tender document, SOW, BOQ, evaluation matrix and executive summary as PDF, DOCX or XLSX. Share a secure link with qualified suppliers worldwide.
