1. A refrigerated food processing and dispensing system comprising:
a frame structure formed from a plurality of base frame elements and a plurality of structural panels coupled to the frame elements, the frame structure having a front, a rear, and left and right sides;
a refrigerated ingredient storage compartment, the ingredient storage compartment being positioned within the frame structure;
a first compressor positioned within the frame structure at a location below the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment, the first compressor having a first capacity;
a first condenser positioned generally at the back of the frame structure, and at a point below the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment, the first condenser having a first cross sectional area, the first condenser being fluidly coupled to the first compressor;
a first evaporator fluidly coupled to the first condenser and positioned between the freezing cylinder and the first compressor and arranged to cool the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment;
a freezing cylinder positioned within the frame structure at a location above the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment;
a second compressor positioned within the frame structure at a location below the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment, the second compressor having a second capacity, where the second capacity of the second compressor is larger than the first capacity of the first compressor;
a second condenser positioned generally at the back of the frame structure and below the freezing cylinder, the second condenser having a second cross sectional area and an outlet, where the second cross sectional area of the second condenser is greater than the first cross sectional area of the first condenser;
a second evaporator fluidly coupled to the second condenser, the second evaporator including a fluid path that generally surrounds and encircles the freezing cylinder, the second evaporator having a refrigerant inlet;
a first expansion valve having an inlet fluidly coupled to the outlet of the second condenser and an outlet fluidly coupled to the refrigeration inlet of the second evaporator, the first fluid flow expansion valve being positioned within the frame above the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment; and
a second expansion valve having an inlet fluidly coupled to outlet of the second condenser and an outlet coupled to a cooling tube, the second expansion valve being a variable fluid flow expansion valve, wherein the cooling tube is arranged to cool the fluid provided to the inlet of the first expansion valve, the second expansion valve being positioned within the frame above the refrigerated ingredient storage compartment.
