Simple And Efficient Tips To Follow In Commercial Refrigeration

By Carol Cooper


Satisfaction in commercial kitchens is achieved when one feels that everything is going well. However, when a worried thought crosses the mind, a flood of panicked thoughts overcrowd the former sense of satisfaction and one start to wonder how much it will cost him or her to repair the damage. To avoid such nightmares from occurring, observe the following tips regarding commercial refrigeration.

Elimination of the dust from the condensing compartments is mandatory. Accumulated dust and other particles are very dangerous to the compressor oils. They reduce its working capability in this case. It, therefore, makes it expensive to maintain the refrigeration unit. It also forces it to do a lot of work causing damages.

Acidic foods need proper covering. It avoids cross contamination of other foods stored near. Also, corrosion is a possible occurrence. The foods that are known to cause this include pickles and also tomatoes. These foods should, therefore, be stored in containers that can be sealed tightly and cannot be corroded.

You ought to ensure the drains are kept clear. They serve as pathways for condensation to escape. When the excess liquid exits the drain, it goes to a drip pan where water gets heated and evaporates. Any blockage in the draining system makes condensation to build up with nowhere to go. Therefore, the interior space in the fridge becomes flooded creating ice build up in the freezer. In both cases, a harsher environment is created thus the condenser fails to work effectively. Consequently, it has to run harder than usual.

Avoiding needless repairs by filling and draining of the unit frequently is a very prudent idea. It will ensure that minimal expenses are incurred in maintaining the quality of these facilities. All crumbs, oils and storage containers should be kept free from the drain opening.Mopping the inside of these items each day is very important. Care should be taken to ensure that anything that can block the system is removed.

Weekly checking of the gaskets is recommended. Utility bills can be brought down by ensuring that the tiny rubber seals on the gaskets are well maintained. The tiny rubber seals can determine the efficiency of the product. The air might escape through the minute cracks. In this case, the compressing and condensing compartments will work overtime for temperature maintenance. The situation will affect the coils profoundly. You will have to deal with a damaged freezer. The option is to call a repair professional. They charge high rates. Apart from this, the energy bill will go up, and you will be forced to dig deeper into your pockets to foot it

If you realize that any part of the gasket is peeling away from the door, has cracks or cannot seal flush when the door is closed, this is a clear indication that the gasket needs replacement.

If the methods discussed above are employed, refrigeration on the commercial level will not be a challenge. You should make a point of attending to this each day, once a week, or after a month. The benefits will be realized immediately and your foods will remain fresh.
