In this conversation, we're talking supermarket case controllers with longtime refrigeration technician and Refrigeration Mentor Community Ambassador Andrew Freeburg. We cover why they're becoming more common (especially with CO2), and how they compare across brands like Danfoss, Copeland, CAREL, RDM and others. We also break down what case controllers do - running the case by controlling lights, fans, defrost, and electronic expansion valves - along with basic checks and troubleshooting tips to help refrigeration techs be more efficient and confident on service calls.
