Remote refrigerators are insulated cold food cabinets that are outfitted with an evaporator inside, but the compressor and condenser are located in a remote area away from the refrigerator itself. Typically stores will place their condensers and compressors on the roof, depending on the climate, or in a cool basement. Because the components that give off the most heat, the compressor and condenser, are moved to a separate location, remote refrigeration units are ideal for stores that have heat concerns, such as establishments with poor ventilation or low ceilings. Additionally, if you have a large grocery store, deli, or commissary kitchen that operates multiple coolers, remote options are an excellent choice because they keep your interior cool and comfortable for your guests and also remove the noise from the condensers.

Pros of Remote Refrigeration

 Because there are fewer components in the main body of the refrigerator, remote refrigerators have more storage space.
 Remote refrigerators eliminate any noise issues, which is ideal for display units or refrigerators in grocery stores.
 These products can reduce your electric bill because your fridge will be producing less heat that your air conditioning needs to deal with.
 If you operate in a cool climate, installing your condensers and compressors on the roof or outside can help your unit run more efficiently.

Cons of Remote Refrigeration

Even though there are many benefits to choosing remote condensing refrigerators in your establishment, there are some downsides as well:
 Remote refrigerators are more expensive to install because you need a professional to run lines from your kitchen to wherever you want to install the compressor and condenser.
 Additionally, because the components of your refrigerator are separated, they’re more difficult and time-consuming to repair.
 Remote refrigeration units have the potential to increase your utility bills because they require more power to move the coolant from the body of the fridge to the remote compressor and condenser.
