Food processing plants
The AIST series is widely used in cryogenic refrigeration in food processing, at home and abroad, with 271–526 kW modular capacity steps.
Cold Chain
Cold Storage Solution
Cold storage refrigeration solutions for food processing, pharma and chemical cold chains — cascade CO2 units running at −38 °C nominal with the small NH3 charges that keep plant floors safe.
The constraint we design for
Deep cold, small refrigerant inventory
Cold storage and food processing plants push refrigeration toward lower temperatures — and stricter safety and environmental rules. MOON-TECH’s answer is the AIST NH3/CO2 cascade: NH3 stays in the high-temperature circuit at a small 110–220 kg charge, while CO2 — zero ozone depletion, zero greenhouse forcing — carries the −38 °C evaporating duty.
Safe on the plant floor
Skid-mounted in a container housing with no refrigeration control room, micro-pressure-drop small-charge condenser, and an integrated active defense system with real-time monitoring, alarm and spray device.
Reference unit
AIST CO2 Module Unit
| Refrigerant | NH3 / CO2 (cascade) |
|---|---|
| Nominal working condition | −38 / +40 °C |
| Unit cooling capacity | 271 – 526 kW |
| CO2 pump flow | 6 – 10 m³/h |
| NH3 filling amount | 110 – 220 kg |
| CO2 filling amount | 2,700 – 5,200 kg |
- Frequency conversion start and run — no impulse current, significant energy-saving advantage
- High system automation — less manual commissioning time, lower operating cost
- Higher cooling capacity per unit volume of CO2 and higher heat transfer efficiency
Beyond the cold room

Pharma & chemical cold duty
Low-temperature process cooling for pharmaceutical and chemical applications, including dangerous operating areas.
Natural refrigerant policy
NH3 micro-filling chiller units and CO2 systems align your plant with HCFC substitution direction — MOON-TECH has run phases of the national HCFC substitution demonstration project.
Energy closed-loop
Pair cooling with steam booster heat pumps: the heat you reject is upgraded back into high-grade saturated steam for the process.
