Freezer nameplate says 3 phase but service is single phase

The single phase version of the medium temperature condensing unit FJAM-A150-CFV is offered for sale by a number of online vendors, but its availability would have to be checked. There are a couple of versions of this unit that have different overall form factors.
The single phase compressor for this unit CS10K6E-PFV is available.

The single phase version of the low temperature condensing unit DJAL-020Z-CFV seems to be harder to find, and the few places I found had very exorbitant prices. The single phase compressor ZF08K4E-PFV is available.

These comments are offered as a possible starting point based on some initial searches. But one should dig further into the details before pursuing these suggestions. For example, there's an additional three number suffix on some of these model numbers that could be important for the OP's application.
something tells me a couple VFD's is the way to go with OP's situation.
 
The takeaway here, I believe, is that before one spends money on a piece of equipment one should confirm that it is compatible with whatever infrastructure it needs to connect to.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. :D
 
The 110 simply means it needs a neutral with the 3 phase.

as you see there is ampacity for 208v and 230v but 110 is just to show something needs that and a neutral (or ground) is the only way.
 
Which I am fine with. Hopefully they make it clear where to land or not land high leg when there is one. I myself will further investigate to make certain in most cases. Often there is a distribution block or similar that isn't too difficult to determine where the 120 volt loads are connected to.
I did a high speed tanning bed many years ago, it was the first one in the states, and they sent the German engineer with it to start it up. The facility was 120/208, but he needed 240 volts. I used open delta buck boost transformers to get it to 240. I asked him if it used a neutral, he said no. But as I was looking at the wiring diagram, something caught my eye. The manufacturer was using the ground as a neutral for the 120 volt controls! I made sure the unboosted leg was on the line that feed the controls.

Is high speed tanning bed similar to a Turbo-chef oven? :)

Might as well be, you got in it for less than 15 minutes, come out red, then after a while you would have a tan with just one visit! The bed was even air conditioned! Instead of long light tubes, it had a bunch of what looked like MH lamp envelopes. This was back in the 90’s, haven’t heard of them since. Probably a good way to get a head start on skin cancer!
