The US Forest Service Nursery in Placerville CA has a need to repair, replace or upgrade the cooling system in the seedling freezer. This space is approximately 40’x 40’ and 15’ high resulting in a space of ~25,000 cu ft that needs to be maintained at a temperature year-round of 0-5 degrees F. This project involves the replacement of one, with the option for another (total of two), seedbank freezer refrigeration units with high-efficiency liquid-cooled units at the El Dorado National Forest Nursery.
