Engineering & Design
The greatest and easiest opportunity for maximizing refrigeration plant operational efficiency is at the specification and purchase phase of its life.
This is where our Engineering Department can help you the most.
Refrigeration Engineering & Design
The first step toward installing an optimally functioning refrigeration plant is to ensure you have correctly specified exactly what your cooling requirements are.
Your refrigeration plant will be a lot more expensive to run than it will cost to install and it is essential to engineer your plant for optimal power usage and minimum downtime.
The Matador Refrigeration, Engineering Department works with you from the outset to ensure that every aspect of your refrigeration plant installation is carefully calculated and budgeted for.
We will work together with you to define the criteria for each step of your operational requirements, including:
Compliance with design and build standards
Scope of supply
Energy efficiency
Life cycle costs
Environmental impact
Information to be submitted with the tender
Performance assessment
Maintenance needs
Matador Refrigeration has been installing refrigeration since 1958 and through the years we’ve learned that using the best equipment on the market is what matters most for the long term profitability of our clients.

The greatest and easiest opportunity for maximising refrigeration plant operational efficiency is at the specification and purchase phase of its life. This is where our Engineering Department can help you the most.
When buying a new refrigeration plant, consideration should be given to the lifetime cost of ownership. That is, in addition to the capital cost of buying the refrigeration plant, the buyer should, in his assessment of alternative proposals, compare their operational costs. These operational costs will include energy, maintenance, and other associated costs.
Typically, refrigeration systems cost 7 to 10 times as much to run as they do to buy, mainly due to the high electricity usage of such a system.
The refrigeration plant specification should provide the operational requirements for the refrigeration plant, for sizing and selection of equipment.
The operational requirements are based on the assessment of the cooling load and the responsibility for providing accurate data, i.e. the appropriate loads and temperatures, lies with you (but we can help you determine what these would be for your system). In addition, the specification should incorporate information that defines:
· Compliance with design and build standards
· Scope of supply
· Energy efficiency
· Life cycle costs
· Environmental impact
· Information to be submitted with the tender
· Performance assessment
· Maintenance needs
When calculating the full impact of a budget with regards to a new refrigeration system, you should take into account these key factors:
· Capital Cost for the proposed refrigeration plant
· Performance calculations (energy consumption, maintenance costs, percentage down-time etc)
· Payback period – Payback (in years) = Capital Cost / Operation Cost (per year)
· Net Present Value
By designing an optimal detailed refrigeration plant for your needs, our Engineering Department takes care of all the technical aspects of your cooling requirements.
