Our Refrigeration Design Capabilities
From industrial-scale warehouses to specialized commercial applications, Discovery Designs offers comprehensive refrigeration design solutions tailored to each client’s goals. Using BIM modeling, 3D design software and cloud-based collaboration tools, we streamline the design process while providing complete transparency. We can even reverse engineer outdated systems and create modern replacements to exceed today’s performance standards.
Ammonia Refrigeration System Design
Ammonia (R-717) refrigeration systems are known for high efficiency and reliability, making them the go-to solution for large-scale industrial projects. Our team designs ammonia-based refrigeration systems to deliver dependable cooling capacity for food processing, chemical manufacturing, cold storage and other high-demand applications.
CO2 Refrigeration System Design
CO2 (R-744) systems provide a safe, sustainable and compact alternative to other refrigerants like HFCs and CFCs. With higher density allowing for smaller piping and equipment, CO2 refrigeration systems are ideal for industries seeking energy-efficient, environmentally responsible solutions. We design CO2 systems customized to fit unique process or facility requirements.
A2L Refrigerant System Design
As one of the three legally approved refrigerant categories in the United States, A2L refrigerants are used in various modern refrigeration projects, including laboratory environments and specialized applications. Discovery Designs develops safe, code-compliant refrigerant systems to integrate A2L refrigerants into custom OEM-level designs.
Industrial Cold Storage Design
We design advanced, energy-efficient cold storage refrigeration systems to support modern supply chain demands. From food-grade facilities to pharmaceutical distribution centers, DDRef cold storage systems are designed to achieve precise temperature control, meet industry standards and allow for scalable growth.
Prototype Refrigeration Design
When clients require proof of concept, Discovery Designs develops prototype refrigeration systems. We create detailed designs, deliver the prototype for approval and coordinate with trusted manufacturing partners for production. This approach provides clients with flexibility while maintaining design integrity.
Industrial Refrigeration Design
We specialize in designing large-scale refrigeration systems for warehouses, food processors, cold storage operations and complex industrial facilities. Each system is engineered to deliver reliable cooling performance while balancing efficiency, compliance and long-term operating costs. Whether developing new systems or modernizing outdated infrastructure, our industrial designs are tailored to the specific processes and equipment of each client.
Commercial Refrigeration Design
Discovery Designs provides custom refrigeration design services for commercial environments, including retail, laboratories and specialized storage facilities. Our team develops solutions to meet the needs of commercial operations requiring precision cooling, energy efficiency and reliable system performance. Each project is built around the unique requirements of the client, with scalable designs supporting both current and future demand.
Our Refrigeration Design Process
Every project begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facility, process requirements and budget goals. Using BIM models and cloud-based collaboration tools, we present multiple design options and explain the benefits of each. With design costs typically representing 5–7% of a project’s total investment, we provide clear value while delivering advanced, scalable systems.
Our process includes:
- Reviewing and analyzing existing systems (with reverse engineering where needed).
- Creating highly efficient custom designs using ammonia, CO2 or A2L refrigerants.
- Collaborating closely with OEMs, contractors and end users throughout the design stage.
- Developing prototypes when needed, then coordinating with manufacturing partners for production.
