Introduction For Commercial Refrigeration

Commercial refrigeration system can keep food items safe and can be used for a long time. However, it can provide better cooling and safe food items only when proper attention is paid to its regular maintenance. Its maintenance should be taken care of from time to time so that it consumes less power and can be operated for a long time.

Importance of regular maintenance

1.Efficiency: With regular maintenance the refrigerator performs at its best resulting in low energy consumption and peak cooling

2.Cost: Unnecessary expenses can be avoided by timely solving partial problems arising in cooling.

3. Compliance: By following the industrial rules and taking proper care of temperature and safety, penalties and damage to reputation can be avoided.

Main components to maintain

1.Condenser and evaporator coils: Accumulation of dust on the coils and not cleaning it regularly can increase its irregular heating.

2. Refrigerator level: It is important to maintain the correct level of the refrigerator for smooth cooling.

3.Fan and motor: For its smooth running, it is necessary that its regular maintenance is done so that wear and tear is avoided.

4. Door and gasket: When it is damaged, the cooling air of the refrigerator leaks out, better results can be achieved by repairing it.

5. Thermostat and Controls: Maintaining regular temperature setting makes it easier to preserve food.

General Maintenance Work

1. Cleaning: Regular thorough cleaning of the refrigerator is necessary to avoid the formation of bacteria and fungus.

2. Leak detection: Inspect and repair any leakage or abnormal phenomenon in the refrigerator.

3.Filter Replacement: Air filter is an essential part of the refrigerator which needs regular cleaning so that there is proper flow of air.

4.Electrical Inspection: Regular inspection of wires is necessary for regular flow of electricity.

5. Performance Monitoring: Check the functioning of the refrigerator regularly to avoid unnecessary problems.

Signs that your refrigerator needs a professional

1. Abnormal Noise: If you notice any unwanted noise in the refrigerator, get it checked by a professional immediately.

2. Fluctuation in temperature: If regular temperature fluctuations are seen in the coolant, then show it to a professional.

3. Repeated cycling: When the refrigerator switches on and off again and again, seek professional help to solve its problem.

4. Accumulation of snow: Accumulation of snow is fatal in the place where air movement is ensured.

5. High Energy Bill: A sudden increase in the electricity bill indicates that there is some mechanical problem in the refrigerator. Which needs a professional.

DIY Tips vs. Professional Maintenance

DIY Tips:-

• Regular cleaning of internal and external parts.
• Check the door gasket for breakage and replace it if necessary.
• Check unnecessary temperature setting and keep it fixed if necessary.

When to call a professional:–

• In case of any technical problem in the refrigerator.
• To diagnose leakage or lack of cooling in the refrigerator.
• To repair or replace electronic tools such as compressors and motors.

Professional technicians solve the technical problems of the refrigerator better based on their expertise.

Determining a Maintenance Plan 

1. Set a schedule: Make it a routine to check the refrigerator as per company rules.

2. Document Activities: Do all the necessary maintenance as per the rules of Document Preamble.

3. Choose a reliable service provider: Choose a reliable company with which to get information about cooling.

Conclusion.

For Better opperation of the Refrigerator, it is Necessary to Maintain it Regularly So That Any Equipment Failure Can Be Saved. Practically its operating life can be increased.
