Maximize Your Refrigeration Capabilities with Single-Phase Chillers and Freezers in Wisconsin
Refrigerated containers play an essential role for many businesses and industries. Not only do reefers provide expanded cold storage to commercial facilities in need, but the portability of a container allows for the reliable transport of delicate and non-perishable goods. However, refrigerated containers’ major downside is the electricity required to power a unit; properties often lack the right hookups or support. Thankfully, USA-Containers can customize your reefer with single-phase chillers and freezers in Wisconsin to combat this issue.
What Does Single-Phase Power Mean?
When selecting a reefer to rent or purchase, most are equipped with three-phase chillers or freezers. These three-phase units utilize three individual electric services to provide maximum voltage (up to 480V) to heavier-duty equipment and machinery. Because refrigerated containers are more industrial, they often require three-phase units to power them appropriately.
Recently, USA-Containers began modifying some of our reefer containers to support single-phase power instead. Single-phase only uses one primary electrical connection, where the voltage power supply (up to 240V) changes simultaneously. While this means the voltage output is less than three-phase units, single-phase power is more widely supported in most residential and commercial settings.
Why Choose Single-Phase?
If your reefer units already use three-phase power, why change it? While three-phase units are the standard for a refrigerated container, USA-Containers believes single-phase units allow our clients more versatility, among other benefits. Those benefits include:
- Expanded Usage – As mentioned, one primary reason for using single-phase chillers and freezers in Wisconsin is their greater versatility. Unfortunately, most residential and commercial properties lack the proper hookups and connections that support three-phase power. However, single-phase power can be supported nearly everywhere!
- Simple Setup – There’s no extensive installation or setup for reefers with single-phase chillers and freezers. All our units are “plug-and-play,” meaning they can simply be connected to a power source and ready for use. This allows our customers to get their expanded cold storage solutions up and running much quicker than refrigeration with three-phase power.
- Reduced Power Requirements – Because single-phase power units are typically reserved for smaller or residential applications, their maximum power draw is half that of three-phase units. However, less power doesn’t stop the effectiveness of our single-phase units! Our single-phase chillers and freezers can support container sizes from 20ft to 40ft long. Furthermore, less power usage means a decreased risk of electrical malfunctions and reduced utility costs.
