Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between commercial and industrial refrigeration?

Commercial refrigeration (used in restaurants, cafes, supermarkets) caters to day-to-day cooling needs, while industrial refrigeration (used in cold storage warehouses, food factories, etc.) is built for large-scale, low-temperature applications. Urbtek offers both, with custom solutions designed for UAE environments.

How do I choose the right commercial refrigeration system for my business?

Key factors include your product type, storage volume, temperature needs, and available space. At Urbtek, we assess your business needs and recommend energy-efficient, scalable systems suitable for UAE conditions.

What are the most energy-efficient refrigeration systems for industrial use?

CO₂, ammonia-based systems, and those with variable speed compressors offer the best efficiency. Urbtek’s green refrigeration solutions help UAE industries cut costs and emissions without compromising performance.

How often should commercial refrigeration systems be serviced?

In the UAE, regular maintenance is crucial due to extreme heat. Urbtek recommends quarterly check-ups and one major annual service, including coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and thermostat calibration.

What refrigerants are commonly used in commercial and industrial systems today?

Common refrigerants include R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A, as well as natural options like CO₂ (R-744) and ammonia (R-717). Urbtek installs systems using refrigerants that meet UAE’s sustainability goals.

Are there eco-friendly refrigeration options available?

Yes. Urbtek offers systems using low-GWP refrigerants like CO₂ and ammonia, which reduce environmental impact and improve energy efficiency—ideal for UAE businesses focused on sustainability.
