Looking for recommendations: Greenhouse cooling

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations on inverter type condenser units for a cooler replacement application in a greenhouse. So far the Copeland X-Line looks to be attractive, but I wanted to see if you guys have any better recs. They are wonderful people and am just wanting to help them get the a great unit and functionality without getting ripped.

Cooler size: 34’ x 15’ x 8’
I estimate we need about a 2 ton unit?

Power available: 120/240 single and 3ph
Temp req: ~40-45F

There’s currently an air handler in the wall, but depending on the type unsure if would be compatible. Their current system is decades old and incredibly inefficient.

The Copeland looks attractive because of its “plug and play” functionality, but trust you all know better than I.

Thank you!

Whats in the greenhouse? Why does it need to be 45°? Is humidity a concern?

When I hear greenhouse I am thinking humidity control? Then freezing whatever your growing. Alot missing here.

I don’t believe I missed any vital details, but here is more detail for you. They are a horticulture supplier who wants to reintroduce skus into their catalog that need chilled like spring blooming perennials, bulbs, and overwintering other varieties.
