Working in Philippi

FAQ
Bitzer hvac & comfort cooling in Philippi

Philippi sits on the N2 and R300, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Philippi Horticultural Area sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency hvac & comfort cooling runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every hvac & comfort cooling job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with hvac & comfort cooling performed against +18 °C to +25 °C supply air. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
