- Description
- The Phoenix Rearing Facility (PRF) is a 69,000 square foot facility where they are currently producing the Navel Orange Worm (NOW). Currently they are sending out about one million moths per day. After the Pupae stage is the eclusion stage, where the moths are starting to spread their wings and move around. This stage here at the facility is where they start to collect the moths from the walk-in coolers. They keep the walk-in coolers around 36 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the Moths from flying around and damaging themselves. After the moths are dropped from the collection cones into trays, the moths huddle up to keep each other warm. This is a very important stage for moth collection. They want to send out as many healthy moths as possible. USDA/APHIS/PPQ/PRF �has 24 moth collection cones broken up into 4 areas. The moth collection condensing units are rated at 5 tons each. Each area has a condensing unit on the roof and 2 evaporators in the cooler.� These units have been in operation since 1995 and since then, they have had to replace compressors, condensing fan motors, separators, and evaporator fan motors. These units were operating with R-22 refrigerant before we changed them out to R-407c. They changed refrigerant from R-22 to R-407c due to it no longer being made and the extremely high cost. They are in definite need of replacements for our units. Some of the parts are becoming obsolete and are getting difficult to find. �They are constantly adding refrigerant and repairing piping due to leaks. When a unit goes down and they wait on parts, they run a high risk of losing product or sending out damaged moths. �USDA/APHIS/PPQ/PRF �also has 2 smaller units used in our pass through cooler and shipping cooler that they need replaced also for all the same reasons mentioned above. These 2 coolers are still using R-22 for operation. Location:� Phoenix Rearing Facility USDA, APHIS, PPQ, PBWRF 3645 E. Chipman Rd.
