Industrial Refrigeration Conversion

Outdated refrigeration systems are costly and difficult to maintain. While repair is sometimes possible, converting outdated systems that rely on R22 or other gases is the best choice to keep your refrigeration system running. DEEM provides all of the services you need to get an updated and efficient cold storage system. Here’s our process:

Convert or replace? The DEEM team of refrigeration experts will first analyze if repairing, converting or replacing your existing R22 or R134a system is your best and most cost-effective option.
Recovery and Disposal. Once we’ve converted your system, we’ll recover and dispose of the refrigerant, and flush the lines.
Oil analysis and change. After a conversion, it’s essential to check and clean the system for any residual oil. Our team of refrigeration conversion experts will do a complete oil analysis and change it as needed.
Complete seal replacement. It’s also essential to change all seals and gaskets after a conversion, as they will have also absorbed gas. Our team will replace all necessary parts to ensure that no residual gas remains.
Existing system repair. In rare cases, it’s possible to repair existing systems without converting them. If this is at all possible, the DEEM refrigeration experts will let you know.

Ammonia Systems

It takes a specialized team of refrigeration experts to design, build and properly maintain ammonia systems. As members of the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR), the DEEM team has expert skills in ammonia refrigeration systems. We provide the following services:
