Southern California Edison Test Laboratories use Imperial Doors

The attached photos show two single horizontal electric sliders and one manual overhead door (with the plastic still adhered to it).

I thought some people at Imperial would find it interesting to know that one of the most recognizable refrigeration testing laboratories in the nation is using three Cascade 2000 sliding doors in their testing chambers.
I was meeting with Southern California Edison and was given a tour through their “RTTC”, as they call it, when I realized that I was looking at our doors!!! Here’s a link to the Southern California Edison website: http://www.sce.com/b-sb/design-services/RTTC/

This photo shows the cramped testing area and some of the equipment used during the tests. Multiple tests take place in the same area with each test using different equipment, so manuvering room is at a premium—somewhat similar to many kitchens we visit!

You can see the thick bundle of cables just below the overhead walk-in cooler door track. These cables move test data from the test area and into the offices where lab managers and technicians can use the data to determine the progerss and outcome of the tests.
