3-Phase vs Single Phase Electric Refrigeration Systems

When looking for a refrigerated container or refrigerated trailer rental, you should always assess your power situation beforehand. Portable Refrigeration Storage offers “all electric” cold storage options. We have units available that can be utilized with either single phase or 3-phase power.

3-Phase Power

20’ refrigerated containers and 40’ refrigerated containers are the perfect choices when3-phase power is available to you on-site. These units come equipped with our “all electric” Carrier™ cooling systems. They require either 230V or 460V power. These 3-phase systems offer high capacity cooling and are extremely energy efficient. The dock level refrigerated trailers are equipped with the same type of Carrier™ cooling system. Our refrigerated containers and refrigerated trailers are well equipped to keep your goods at your desired set point. They are able to maintain temperature ranging from 0degrees F to 75 degrees F (depending on your product and usage of course).

Single Phase Power:

If you do not have 3-phase power, our portable walk-in coolers & freezers are a great alternative. These 20’L x 8’ W units require 220V single phase power (and a dedicated30 amp circuit). They are capable of temps ranging between 0 degrees F and 40degrees F (depending on usage and product of course). Most facilities are equipped with 220V single phase power, so getting them setup is not a problem. They also come standard with a 50 ft power cord. These are perfect for on-site storage in virtually any location!

No matter which type of unit you are using, Portable Refrigeration Storage guarantees you will be satisfied with your on-site cold storage. Both electrical options are environmentally friendly, quieter, and more cost-effective than diesel powered units.
