Refrigerated Distribution Centers Project
San Bernardino, Fontana, and Stockton, California
C&L Refrigeration designed and constructed three cold storage food distribution centers in California, including a 500,000 square foot distribution center in San Bernardino, a 200,000 square foot distribution center in Stockton, and a 70,000 square foot cooler expansion in Fontana.
Design-Build Ammonia Refrigeration for Cold Storage
The refrigeration systems were constructed with ammonia natural refrigerant and supported convertible rooms, freezers, coolers, ice cream freezers, and docks. The project also included heat recovery using ammonia hot gas for underfloor heating and custom refrigeration controls for each plant’s operations.
