Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward refrigeration apparatuses, systems, and methods that include a housing and a cabinet arranged within the housing and including an opening configured to operate as a cooling or freezing space. The refrigeration apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a modular refrigeration assembly including a condenser assembly, a compressor, and an evaporator, the modular refrigeration assembly being configured to arrange the evaporator within the cabinet and arrange the condenser assembly and compressor within the housing and external to the cabinet and one or more conduits arranged between the condenser assembly, the compressor, and the evaporator forming a closed loop system configured to contain refrigerant.

Abstract: A method of integrating the Modular Chiller System into an existing walk-in cooler includes the steps of 1.) selecting a portion of an existing walk-in cooler, 2.) installing walls and doors, by means known in the art, to define an existing space within the cooler 3.) positioning a frame assembly of refrigeration and electrical components on one of the interior walls, 4.) positioning a controller unit on an exterior wall and interfacing the controller unit to the frame assembly, and 5.) positioning a remote condenser unit and interfacing the condenser unit to the frame assembly.

Abstract: A Modular Chiller System integrated into a single Standalone Rack Assembly having vertically positioned air intakes, heat exchanger, and an air deflector is disclosed. The orientation of the components in the Standalone Rack Assembly allows for maximum heat exchange from a rack of hot food items positioned coextensively to the Chiller System. Hot air from the food rack is received through the air intakes into the heat exchanger where chilled air is recirculated outward through said frame assembly. The Chiller System is portable and can be retrofitted to existing walk-in cooler configurations, or be embodied in standalone and portable refrigeration enclosures.
