Refrigeration equipment for the hospitality and catering sector (HoReCa)

In HoReCa establishments, refrigeration equipment operates round the clock, and any disruption to the temperature control system is a problem that guests will notice. We invite you to explore exactly which systems are required for different areas within the HoReCa sector, and to find out how chillers, cooling towers and heat pumps fulfil their roles in the day-to-day operations of restaurants, cafés and hotels.

The role of refrigeration equipment in the day-to-day operations of HoReCa establishments

Every catering establishment stores food daily under strictly defined temperature conditions. Cooling systems for the HoReCa sector cover a wide range of tasks – maintaining temperatures in storerooms and regulating the microclimate in dining areas. In restaurants and hotels, the demands placed on equipment are higher than in the retail sector: reliability, quiet operation and compliance with hygiene standards are paramount. A modern refrigeration unit is part of the technological chain on which the quality of dishes and the reputation of the business depend.

Key tasks for cooling kitchens and dining areas

In the kitchen, numerous heat sources operate simultaneously: hobs, steamers, ovens, and there are staff present as well. All of this creates a heat load that needs to be offset.

The main objectives of refrigeration systems are:

  1. Maintaining food storage temperatures in accordance with health and safety regulations.
  2. Removing excess heat from the kitchen area.
  3. Chilling drinks and prepared dishes before serving.
  4. Maintaining a stable microclimate in the dining area regardless of the season.
  5. Protecting meat, fish and confectionery from temperature fluctuations.

Tip: We do not recommend selecting equipment without calculating the actual heat load. It is better to seek assistance from our specialists.

Dalgakiran chillers for HoReCa

For large hotels and restaurant complexes, the optimal solution is industrial chillers that can serve several rooms or areas simultaneously. Dalgakiran refrigeration systems range from compact models for cafés to full-scale industrial units of up to 1000+ kW for large complexes. Selection is based on the floor area, number of zones and the establishment’s operating mode.

Cooling towers and heat exchangers in large kitchens

Dalgakiran cooling towers cool water in a closed circuit and stabilise the operation of the entire refrigeration cycle throughout the year. This is particularly important for establishments operating 24/7 that cannot afford any interruptions to their cooling systems.

Compact air conditioners and heat pumps for restaurants

The guest dining area presents a unique challenge for engineers. It is not enough simply to lower the temperature: it is vital that the air is distributed evenly, that the equipment does not make noise whilst guests are conversing at their tables, and that it blends in with the interior design. Dalgakiran’s compact industrial air conditioners are designed specifically for such conditions — with low noise levels, precise airflow distribution and a compact housing.

The heat pumps within these systems operate in both modes: cooling in summer and heating in winter. For businesses, this means a single unit instead of two separate systems, fewer maintenance points and lower running costs throughout the year. This is particularly noticeable in venues with large halls or multiple floors.

Thermostats for climate control

A reliable thermostat allows you to set parameters for each zone individually and monitor them in real time. For hotels with a large number of rooms, this translates into direct energy savings.

“Automating temperature control in HoReCa establishments helps reduce electricity consumption by 15–25 per cent without compromising the quality of the indoor climate,” restaurateurs report.
