Welcome to CRT Design
|
CRT design is uniquely qualified to provide all facets of industrial refrigeration engineering. From system design to trouble shooting, CRT Design can provide superior technical knowledge to help solve any issue.
The refrigeration system represents a huge consumer of energy for any facility. CRT Design can develop the most cost effective solution (both from an energy standpoint and from a first cost standpoint) for a given project so that the plant receives the best value for the investment. The system can be specifically designed to maximize a given electrical rate structure while maintaining the required environment in the plant. Most industrial food related facilities have extensive refrigeration systems that primarily use anhydrous ammonia as the refrigerant. Ammonia is the world’s most efficient refrigerant but it is a hazardous material. CRT Design has extensive knowledge in the use of ammonia and how to design systems that are both efficient and safe for both the user and the community. |

About our President: Chuck Taylor
Chuck Taylor has over 30 years experience in Industrial Refrigeration both on the contracting side and on the engineering side. Chuck has a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering, a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and is licensed as a professional engineer in 38 states.
From 1986 to 2007, Chuck was with The Stellar Group. In 1992, Chuck was promoted to Senior Vice President of the Industrial Refrigeration Division and had total responsible charge for all activities of the division including engineering, contracting, service, fabrication, computer control and field fabrication.
As Senior Vice President, Chuck led Stellar refrigeration to become the industry leader in innovative engineering solutions:
Developed integrated solutions to condensation problems in food processing plants that successfully solved existing problems and set the bar for new processing plants.
Led the development team for designing the world’s largest CO 2/NH 3 industrial refrigeration system.
Led the effort to use 3-D modeling of systems to improve quality of design, facilitate stress analysis and prefabrication of systems in a shop environment.
Totally new concept in Spiral Freezer technology that is the new definition of sanitary design.
Innovation solutions to improve energy conservation in standard refrigeration systems.
Blast chill technology to improve quality of pork during the initial chilling process.
Specialty refrigeration systems to improve food quality such as blast chills for bacon, hydro coolers for stone fruit, long term storage facilities for table grapes, controlled atmospheres for apples.
“Flow-Down” system developed for very large industrial systems that have a proven track record of improved reliability over conventional systems.
Chuck was on the Board of Directors for IIAR and chaired the task force that wrote the IIAR CO 2 handbook. Chuck is a member of IIAR and ASHRAE, has had technical articles published many times and given numerous lectures on refrigeration specific topics.
