Walk-in retrofit motor applications within supermarkets are now a standard discussion within all motor retrofit programs. Even though the average site motor counts are significantly less than the reach-in applications, these motors typically draw at least twice the wattage and should not be overlooked within the project scope development process.

As the primary motor type used within Convenience Store, Pharmacy and Cold Food Storage operations, updating to EC motor technology is considered one of the primary energy initiatives.

The walk-in application offers a secondary means of attaining energy savings. Most EC motors can be provided with a two speed operational mode. In all our applications, we program our motors for two speed operation (high & low settings) in preparation for use with our evaporator fan control technology. By combining evaporator fan controls with the EC walk-in motor, our clients attain significant “additional” energy savings within the walk in applications. Note* for additional details regarding evaporator fan controls, please review the “motor control tab” under our Solutions navigation tab.
