Answer 8 questions to receive an engineering estimate — capacity, kW load, capex range and financing options — plus a printable RFQ-ready brief.
- What do I get at the end?A downloadable engineering brief with capacity, refrigeration load, capex range, refrigerant recommendation, financing structure and next-step supplier list.
- Is this a substitute for a feasibility study?No — it's a concept-stage feasibility. It gets you to a lender or supplier conversation in 5 minutes instead of 5 weeks.
The wizard converts product type, target temperature, pallet count and climate into an indicative facility specification: storage volume in m³, refrigeration load in kW, CAPEX band in USD, and the equipment configuration best matched to the duty. Frozen rooms typically need 35–55 W per m³ of cooling capacity versus 18–22 W per m³ for chilled, and hot or tropical climates add 20–28% to that load.
Frequently asked questions
What inputs does the decision wizard need?
Product type, target temperature band, pallet quantity, clear ceiling height, daily door openings, and country/climate. Those five inputs are enough for an indicative volume, load and CAPEX band.
How accurate is the output?
It is a planning-grade estimate, typically within ±20% of a detailed engineering calculation. Final sizing needs a full heat-load study with real product turnover and insulation values.
What happens after I complete the wizard?
You can send the resulting specification to the RFQ builder and receive quotes from pre-screened suppliers for that exact configuration.
