Parts, gas & equipment in Cape Town: local notes
Epping, Montague Gardens and Airport Industria hold most of the city's refrigeration wholesalers, with compressors, R404A and R134a cylinders, condensing units, cold room panels and tools for the trade. Appliance spares shops in Parow, Wynberg and Bellville handle thermostats, seals and fans for homes. On the seaboard, ask for coated or marine grade condenser coils on new condensing units, and for stainless fittings on outdoor units.
Cape Town: heat, power and cold chains
Cape Town's refrigeration work stretches from the fishing harbours to the fresh produce trade. Fish processors and freezer stores around the harbour, Hout Bay and Kalk Bay depend on blast freezers and cold rooms, while the Epping market feeds a ring of cold stores, distributors and ripening rooms. Restaurants on Bree Street and along the Atlantic seaboard run walk-ins and under-counter fridges flat out in the summer season. At home, salt air on the seaboard and the False Bay coast corrodes condenser coils and fan motors, and the south-easter pushes dust and sand behind fridges on the Cape Flats. Restaurants, landlords with holiday flats, spaza owners and households ask most.
Typical chest freezers requests in the area come from:
