Commercial Refrigeration Sunshine Coast
The refrigeration systems of today have advanced significantly in terms of technology over the past few decades. Regular maintenance of commercial cool room and refrigeration units help keep perishables protected. For Sunshine Coast businesses that rely on refrigeration, keeping even advanced units in proper working order means applying regular refrigeration maintenance.
What follows are a few tips that will help keep your refrigeration system sound and in working order. The better the preventative care, the less likely your refrigeration will break down.
Regular Cleaning of Cold Rooms and Refrigeration Units
It may sound a little too simple to believe that regular cleaning of refrigeration units and cold rooms can help improve performance and prevent breakdowns from occurring. Spills of beverages for example may seem innocuous enough, but over time the growing mess can start to damage parts of the appliance.
In addition, storing harsh chemicals may have a damaging effect if the contents get out. Be mindful about storing any chemicals in the same unit as food.
Servicing of Commercial Units on the Sunshine Coast
Just as you refresh the oil in your vehicle at regular intervals, so too must commercial refrigeration systems be serviced. All devices on the Sunshine Coast are subject to wear. By having regular servicing, you can have parts that are wearing out replaced before they break.
Work with a professional company that can perform maintenance and repair on your commercial refrigeration units along with your cool room. A regular schedule of a maintenance program can lower the risk of these valuable units breaking down and needing repairs.
Refrigeration Settings
When the refrigeration units are installed by a refrigeration technician, you should set them to the ideal temperature if possible. You may have to adjust such settings over time if conditions change. But for the most part the settings should remain the same.
Keeping the same temperature setting is important for the continued function of the appliance and cool room. However, with people coming in and out of the cool room or the frequent use of the refrigerator may alter the settings.
If it is a mobile cold room that has been hired it is highly recommended the settings be checked. These could have been altered in transit.
You should be aware of the correct settings for each appliance and check to ensure that they remain the same.
Settings that are changed may lead to fluctuations in how your appliance operates. Only change these when it is recommended. This can also affect the power consumption. An adjustment of one or two degrees may cause your electricity bill to go up. So, inspect the settings regularly.
Defrosting the Cool Room
The cool room unit for refrigeration equipment itself will normally have instructions on when it should be defrosted. Follow the instructions as best you can to schedule times when defrosting is needed. Just keep in mind that too many defrost sessions may damage the unit.
To prevent such damage from occurring, clean and remove the buildup of frost when the unit is in operation. That will help to reduce any lengthy or frequent defrosting sessions.
Proper commercial refrigeration maintenance saves your business money. And just as importantly for business owners in the Sunshine Coast, it helps keep your business running smoothly. Whether you have a single refrigerator, operate a cool room, or have several commercial refrigerators on our property, maintaining them regularly will keep them running.
