Cold storage facilities require continuous, reliable power to maintain temperature-controlled environments that protect inventory worth millions of dollars. Thompson Machinery delivers power systems for the cold storage industry designed to prevent costly outages and ensure uninterrupted refrigeration operations.
Cold storage facility generators serve as critical infrastructure for warehouses and distribution centers where temperature control cannot be compromised. A power outage lasting just hours can spoil entire inventories of frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, or perishable goods. Power generation for cold storage facilities must deliver immediate backup capacity with automatic failover.
Refrigeration systems account for approximately 70% of energy consumption in cold storage facilities, running continuously to maintain temperatures ranging from -20 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Your power system must handle these constant loads while providing surge capacity for defrost cycles, automated storage systems and material handling equipment.
Thompson Machinery provides comprehensive power systems for the cold storage industry. These power systems include:
Determining the right cold storage facility generator requires analyzing your total connected load, including refrigeration compressors, evaporator fans, ammonia or freon system components, automated storage and retrieval systems, material handling equipment and building management systems.
Thompson Machinery’s engineering team performs detailed load analyses to ensure your power system handles startup surge currents, simultaneous defrost cycles and expansion capacity. We account for the unique power factor characteristics of refrigeration equipment to specify generators that can deliver clean, stable power.
Power systems for the cold storage industry must meet specific regulatory requirements. Thompson Machinery ensures your installation complies with NFPA 110 standards for emergency power systems, National Food Safety Modernization Act facility requirements and pharmaceutical cold chain validation standards. We provide complete documentation and annual testing to satisfy insurance and regulatory audits.
We provide 24/7 emergency service for cold storage facility generators throughout Tennessee and Mississippi. Our certified technicians understand that refrigeration systems cannot tolerate extended downtime.
