Protecting Your Temperature-Sensitive Inventory with Industrial Generators from American Energy Solutions

When it comes to cold storage, reliable backup power isn’t optional — it’s essential. A power outage can be catastrophic, putting thousands — or even millions — of dollars’ worth of temperature-sensitive inventory at risk.

At American Energy Solutions (AES, Inc.), we specialize in cold storage backup power systems tailored to meet the specific demands of industrial refrigeration facilities. With an extensive inventory of Caterpillar and Cummins diesel and natural gas generators, we help clients across the U.S. secure emergency power systems that are built to last, easy to integrate, and fully compliant with emissions regulations.

Why Cold Storage Facilities Must Have Backup Power

Cold storage facilities, refrigerated distribution centers, and freezer warehouses depend on uninterrupted power to:

• Keep products at precise temperature thresholds
• Avoid product spoilage and regulatory violations
• Maintain business continuity and customer contracts
• Ensure food safety and pharmaceutical stability
• Meet strict health and storage compliance standards

Power outages, brownouts, utility failures, and grid instability aren’t a matter of if — they’re a matter of when.

What to Look For in a Cold Storage Backup Generator

1. Load Sizing & Generator Capacity

Your generator must support refrigeration compressors, HVAC, automation systems, and motor in-rush currents. AES will calculate your actual kW load to size your generator correctly.

Pro Tip: Start with a minimum 150kW unit for walk-in cold rooms or large warehouses.

2. Choose the Right Fuel: Diesel vs. Natural Gas

Diesel: Fast start, off-grid ready, best for emergencies. AES stocks Tier 2 and Tier 4 Final generators up to 4000kW.

Natural Gas: Cleaner and quieter; ideal for urban settings but may depend on utility lines.

3. Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Load Management

ATS ensures seamless switchover during outages. AES also offers load shedding systems to prioritize mission-critical equipment.

4. Run Time, Fuel Storage & Refueling

AES provides fuel tank sizing, mobile refueling, and runtime monitoring — ideal for remote or unmanned refrigeration sites.

5. Emissions Compliance

We supply fully certified Tier 4 Final gensets for CARB/EPA-regulated areas like California and New York.
