Design & Engineering Capabilities

Engineering solutions built on experience. Designed for performance, safety and reliability.

01 Approach

Sound engineering is the foundation of every project we deliver

At Kooltech Refrigeration, our in-house design and engineering capability allows us to develop industrial and commercial HVAC-R solutions that are safe, efficient, compliant and built to perform for the life of the asset.

From concept through to commissioning, our engineers work closely with clients to translate operational requirements into practical, well-documented system designs — whether that's a new ammonia plant, an upgraded cool room, or a complete refrigeration, air conditioning or ventilation solution for a new facility.

04 Documentation

What our drawings look like

Sample sheets from our own projects. Every system we design is documented to this standard, so the people who operate and maintain the plant know what is installed and why.

Plant layout

Equipment layout for a refrigerated processing facility: plant room, cool and freezer rooms, process rooms and the glycol and ammonia runs between them.

Engine room P&ID

Ammonia engine room piping and instrumentation, with the compressor packages, accumulators, high-pressure receiver and the full valve schedule.

Process rooms P&ID

Glycol distribution to the air coolers serving each process room, cool room and chiller, with balancing and control valves scheduled throughout.
