First Key was engaged by a Top 10 craft brewery to perform a refrigeration capacity audit. A tour of the existing facilities was conducted to review existing infrastructure and potential areas for expansion. First Key worked with equipment vendors to validate capacities of individual components and provided calculations to show existing refrigeration capability, existing load requirements, future load requirements. We identified gaps between refrigeration capabilities and process requirements, and provided recommendations/options for future refrigeration system expansions, complete with budget cost estimates.
