Excerpt from A Study of Refrigeration Systems for Urban Food Distribution Centers The most economical choice was to have one central refrigeration system (situa tion II) for the entire complex. Second choice, costing percent more to install and percent more to own and Operate, was to use a central system in each of the four buildings (situation III). Least desirable was to have each firm buy its own individual refrigeration system (situation I). This would cost percent more to install and percent more to own and operate than the single central system, and it would not provide heating and air conditioning for offices.

Excerpt from An Evaluation of Gas-and Electric-Powered Central Refrigeration Systems for Food Distribution Centers This study compares the costs of owning and operating the natural-gas-powered refrigeration system at the New Boston Food Market, Boston, Mass, with a hypothetical electric-powered system. Results showed that the gas-powered system had higher initial cost but lower annual ownership and operating cost than the electric-powered system.

Excerpt from Central Refrigeration System for a Proposed Food Distribution Center in Dallas, Texas: August 1973 The plant equipment would consist of two separate but interconnected compressor groups, six large condensing units, two large accumulators, and one large tank. This equipment would be served by a group of pumps, as well as by the necessary receivers, intercoolers, and sundry other equipment.
