The Ross & Sons refrigeration staff has been designing and installing ammonia refrigeration systems for over 25 years. The seasoned, in-house refrigeration team designs each system, selects appropriate equipment and installs it on site. The controls department customizes a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) based system to operate the 200- and 300-hp screw compressors which are standard; the control system provides optimal energy usage, remote site monitoring, regular operational reports and temperature logs. A separate ammonia refrigeration service staff handles start-ups and service for installed equipment and systems.
Because control system engineering is done in house and represents a significant part of the competitive advantage of Ross & Christopher, a premium is placed upon efficiency and cost containment
