JUST WONDERING
You just absorbed Cargill Fresno — the engine room is older than the deal. Here's the multi-site CO₂ rollup version. One package, three plants, one compliance program deleted instead of three duplicated.

How to read this · TR, kW/TR, and the math
TRTon of Refrigeration
12,000 BTU/hr of cooling capacity. The unit US industrial refrigeration thinks in. Named for the rate one ton of ice absorbs heat as it melts. 1 TR ≈ 3.5 kW of heat removed. A walk-in cooler is ~5 TR; a small blast tunnel is ~50 TR; a big NH₃ plant is hundreds of TR.
kW/TRelectrical efficiency
Electrical power IN per ton of cooling OUT. Lower is better (like fuel economy, but inverted). Old NH₃ plant field rule: 2.5. ReChill variable-speed target: 1.5. That ratio is the whole savings story in two numbers.
The equation · this facility · transparent
Annual electric ($/yr) = installed TR × kW/TR × hours/yr × $/kWh
AS-IS 2500 TR × 2.5 × 8,760 hr × $0.14/kWh = $7.7M/yr
TO-BE 2500 TR × 1.5 × 8,760 hr × $0.112/kWh (with 35% off-peak) = $3.7M/yr
DELTA $4.0M/yr · fleet capex $19.9M · simple payback 5.0 yr
Central Valley Meat · the angle
Multi-site capex with single-vendor accountability. Phase the rollout so production never sees a shift gap. ReChill becomes Central Valley Meat's refrigerant platform across every site you acquire from here.
Be brutal with my numbers
Numbers are rolled from public facility profiles, not your bills. Real proposal needs 12 months of utility data per site + an engine room walk at each location. Phased rollout is the safer path even if the math says you can do it all in 6 months. · Decision-maker on file: Brian Coelho · President & CEO (single decision tree across CVM + Harris Ranch + CLW Foods + Triple C).
