Innovations have resulted in the implementation of advanced compressors and controls that improve performance, allow for real-time monitoring, improve energy efficiency, and safeguard important product with system redundancy. These improvements have an impact on the system architecture, and the correlated written specifications. If you're a foodservice consultant and you haven’t looked at your refrigeration specifications lately, maybe you should. Consider these questions as you review your specs and ask yourself: *Does my specification reference up-to-date compressor applications, evaporator controls and clear directives for piping and wiring practices?* *Does the equipment in my specification utilize energy-efficient solutions for the compressor and evaporator systems?* *Does the equipment in my specifications comply with all regulatory guidelines?* There are numerous types of refrigeration systems available in the industry today. Individual pre-assembled remote systems, [large and small rack systems](https://solutions.rdtonline.com/blog/six-types-of-standard-refrigeration-rack-systems), digital systems, water-cooled, and air-cooled systems to name a few. These systems can be built with semi-hermetic compressors, hermetic compressors, scroll compressors, or [digital scroll compressors](https://solutions.rdtonline.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-digital-scroll-compressors). The enclosures can be made of stainless steel, galvanized steel, or powder-coated steel. Do you know which system best fits your application? Are the evaporator coils specified to be pre-wired and pre-plumbed at the factory? Do they include the latest energy-efficient controllers and [EEV](https://solutions.rdtonline.com/blog/electronic-expansion-valves-why-they-matter-in-refrigeration-systems)s? And what about redundancy and monitoring?  ## Let RDT Help With Your Next Refrigeration Specification If these questions are making you realize it's time to update your specs, don't worry.
