Expanding Capabilities with Mechanical Refrigeration Expertise

April 29, 2023

For industrial facility managers and plant operators overseeing critical food & beverage, cold storage, and warehousing processes, reliable temperature management is critical for quality control, productivity, and plant success. Refrigeration systems must run efficiently, flawlessly, and require precise plant integration in order to deliver best results. To better support these complex environments, Egan Company has expanded its capabilities to include complete mechanical refrigeration systems.

The new mechanical refrigeration expertise will complement Egan’s existing Refrigeration-IQ™ electrical controls solutions, integrating multiple trades to deliver comprehensive refrigeration and temperature management systems for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, food & beverage operations, ice rinks, and more. 

Comprehensive Refrigeration Systems

Maintaining in-house expertise and a full range of services enables industrial and manufacturing facilities to work with a single project partner who is capable of managing whole-system engineering, construction, and service from the ground up. New industrial refrigeration systems as well as upgrades to existing equipment often begin with mechanical expertise, including design and engineering, before moving to electrical controls and mechanical installation and then finally to commissioning, calibration, verification, and specialty pipefitting service. 

Expanded in-house capabilities now position Egan as a fully integrated, turnkey partner for industrial refrigeration systems, building on a strong foundation in electrical controls and system integration. Egan’s mechanical refrigeration expertise now includes:

• Engineering: Equipment sizing, selection, and layout, PE stamped drawings, energy audits and system projections to ensure maximum efficiency before work even begins.
• Parts procurement and mechanical installation: Specialty parts procurement to meet the needs of the existing plant, including compressors, condensers, evaporators, and pressure vessels, as well as skilled pipefitters with years of experience installing the equipment. 
• System Verification: Rigorous commissioning, calibration, I/O checkout, and specialty pipefitting service to guarantee everything runs as designed. Kept in-house, this provides consistency and quality between trades and project phases.
• Seamless Integration: Turnkey coordination between mechanical hardware and electrical controls and software.

Industrial Plant Management Made Easy

For equipment operators, combining mechanical design with smart Refrigeration-IQ™ controls and software delivers immense operational benefits. The most significant advantage is highly accurate temperature control with incredibly tight windows of error. This ensures your product and warehousing stays consistent, reducing downtime or loss due to temperature imbalance. When the physical equipment and smart electrical controls in an industrial facility are perfectly synced, it is much easier to maintain strict product quality, ensure compliance, and streamline overall plant management.

Evolving to Improve Your Projects

Your facility’s operational demands are constantly advancing, productivity is increasing, and systems are becoming more complex. Egan is continuously looking for ways to improve, refine, and add to its in-house expertise to meet the needs of manufacturing plants and make overseeing your processes and equipment easier. From mechanical integration and electrical controls to full system integration including building automation and fire alarm & life safety systems, Egan’s comprehensive service capabilities ensure you have the fully integrated support required for long-term operational success.
